SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of OSKSI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team PASTA was unseated this
week as OUR HIGHEST HONOR moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-2-0
record for the round. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which GAMES LIBRARY
managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!
LORILLE VOTH caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully
bested OTIS 3 and was awarded 29 points in recognition. In one of the week's more
notable duels, KORLEEN MAUR put down SOLDIER 2, causing him to lose 12 points of
recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the
challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster DRUNK DENNIS himself. This
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail SPAGHETTI, Duelmaster of
OSKSI! Would you believe that over half of the old women in OSKSI seem to feel that
they could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! 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!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in OSKSI. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle
walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

Gnocchi -- Actually, I believe I'm allergic to pasta. Every time I even think about
you or your teammates, I break out in hives and have trouble breathing. Maybe...I
should avoid you. -- Lorins Peln
P.S. Of course, in an arena this size, a little formal avoidance counts for not
much. And getting Jorja to send in the order for it would be harder than fighting an
opponent. So maybe I won't avoid you.
God Dethroned -- (nodding) There's a lot of that going around. Just remember, it
wasn't ME. Relax, take deep breaths, and plot your revenge on entities responsible.
No precipitous action. Plot, conspire. Stalk them. Haunt their waking and
sleeping. Cast obstacles in their paths, snares for their feet. Persuade them to
buy shares in doomed companies. And then, when they feel as though they've lost
everything, take the last thing from them. -- Lameridhor Sko
P.S. Tell them they can't have their heat turned on before their water, that when
the water is on it'll be at least one day's delay before the heat, and then watch the
temperature drop below freezing and the pipes burst.
P.P.S. I'll eat popcorn and cheer you on.
Soldier 2 -- You're still here? Whatever is taking you so long? -- Korleen Maur
I sneer at the Dangerous Criminal. He is merely one man operating on the impulses of
a single brain. He can't even begin to touch the range of disasters available to
those who operate in packs (called "committees" or "government agencies") and have
one's "best interests" at heart. -- Lorille Voth
Our congratulations to Drunk Dennis. They say Lord Protectors have, as part of their
enhancement spells, a truly divine capacity for alcohol. You should enjoy it. --

Order of Lost Souls
Where there is a beginning, there is an end. Where there is a whole, there is a
part. Where there is light, there is dark. All these are found to be true and along
with the most important, when something is lost it can always be found.
Many a person has walked this land in one form or another. Some truly believe
that here is there and there is here but who really knows? Among the peoples of this
great land many have felt lost in time and in place. Some have gone as far as to be
lost of soul....
Although most are thought to have been born into this world in a mortal way, no
one can be sure. Life is something they have in a way but a torturous joke to them
in all others. They live in a sense as they are here and now and having mind and
knowledge. They are flesh and blood of one sort of another. They cast a shadow as
all things living do. Blood courses through their veins.
These beings have become wraiths drifting here and there, knowing that they
truly belong nowhere. Searching for that one thing that they seem to be missing or
the one thing in them that puts them beyond others. These people have become masters
of many things as time seems to have no hold. For not even time can find those that
are truly lost. Many of these beings have drifted toward the gladiatorial games. In
the blood and chaos of the arenas something holds them like no other. It's the loss
of something they have never had or something they had so long ago it seems to have
never been. LIFE.
A few of the more shall we say "human" of these beings have settled into many
arenas around the land. The loss of life and the crazed emotions of the arenas
giving them glimpses of things they longed for but seemed incapable of attaining.
A number of these lost ones saw in each other something that might be able to
help the other. They spent many a day traveling to and fro, for what is time to one
who it doesn't touch. The more time they spent together the more they seemed to
change. No one noticed the change in the others but each recognized it in himself.
Years passed and the changes stopped. Each had been changed in different ways but
all felt more whole. A discussion ensued between them. They came to a realization
that in each other they had found parts of themselves that had been missing. Then
came the next thought. If they could find more of like minded lost ones they might
eventually find what they always wanted, their true selves.
The group settled down to think things through. They finally came up with an
idea they all could accept. They would form an organization that through their
arenas through out the land they would seek out other lost ones. If they were of
like mind they would be invited to join the group and seek that special something
they all desired.
This was how it began and how it still is. The Order of Lost Souls was formed
and the search began. The original members numbered six. They were Baphomet,
Blackstorm, Hammer, JGW, Reaper and Wretch. These members of the Order spread their
gladiator stables through out the realm seeking others like them. Through blood and
death they lived through others. One day hoping to live for themselves. For as they
all know what is lost must eventually be found....
