SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly MORDANT games. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week DEATH'S DOOR went 3-1-0 to move up 5
in the rankings. SEIUS GLABRIO caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission
as he skillfully bested KAZACH and was awarded 26 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, ENURAM put down GLUTIUS MAXIMUS, causing it to lose 15
points of recognition in the process. This time out SOULTANCHOR made his bid for the
throne as he challenged BELY MEDVED in an all out contest of skill for possession of
the title! The city has turned out in honor of SOULTANCHOR, for with his arena
victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Would you believe
that over half of the old women in MORDANT seem to feel that they could fight better
than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city MORDANT. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. ROMAN EMPIRE is feared. This much I can say. Apparently
the stalwarts of SHE'S CRAFTY are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging
board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena has reached my
ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after KEITH RICHARDS.
Watch your back!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Strange what qualities come forth in the face of
certain doom. PRODIGAL SON has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena
victory! I must report the passing of KAZACH, veteran of many duels. 11-18-0 final
record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. Some say a warrior is
judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a
sword on the belt!
The girls are as pretty in MORDANT as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Miss Teak -- It seems having anything to do with you in the arena is a "mis-teak" on
my part. Now stay away from me.... -- Vane
Seius Glabrio -- The four skills were almost worth the four days in the infirmary. --
Steeplejack
N'azadar - Stupid broken weapons. Evidently my fist doesn't work as well as my war
hammer. -- Windreaver
Lung Cancer -- Thanks for smokin' me. -- Heidi?
Hortator -- I would have been happy to swing back...if you had let me! -- Simplicity
Enuram -- Sorry about all the toothpick holes. I figured you would give up a little
easier than you did. -- Soultanchor
Black Astrology -- Thanks for the skills. I'm going to need them if I plan on having
any chance of staying here in the Adepts. -- Pocket Rocket
Reaping Beauty -- Blahhh. I don't think there was much I could have done with you.
Well done. -- Slap Pappy
Calis -- Low ST + low ATTACK = Easy TP Win! -- Sweet Stuff
Makeshift Anchor, Glutius Maximus and Black Plague -- Sorry for the challenges, boys.
The boss has a lot invested in me (I'm a clone) and didn't want to take any chances
getting me to ADM in one piece. Good luck to you all. -- Prodigal Son
Black Plague -- What?!? 458 turns? Has it really been that many turns already?
Whoa, I'm feeling old.... -- Mannequin, mgr. of Sweordmasters
Kas -- The personals here are a little hit and miss. Keep writing them and I'm sure
people will start responding to them. -- Mannequin, mgr. of Sweordmasters
Midian -- Coordination is SP + DF. It helps your weapon selection, chances to
successfully hit your opponent, ability to hit your opponent where you are aiming,
ability to use a weapon in both hands, ability to draw back-up weapons and ability to
get back on your feet if you are knocked down. -- Mannequin, mgr. of Sweordmasters
20 April 2007
All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
