SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of JHELUM! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. FUZZ BALL caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested EPIMONIDAS and was awarded 18 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SERILIA put down BORE-O-ME,
causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. Who here was not
present for the title fight this week as FORK BALL boldly challenged SCANDALF in
order to strive for the Duelmasters honors? The city has turned out in honor of FORK
BALL, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the
city! Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights
without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In JHELUM "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when
this week's challenge seeking began. BLADES OF MIST is feared. This much I can say.
If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of F
BALLS last week. Busy avoiding BLADES OF MIST? Loose talk at the arena has reached
my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after SWAYTHE.
Watch your back! I cannot but express pride for the fearlessness of ARAGANT who cast
caution to the winds and challenged SWAYTHE, a fighter 26 points higher. I must
admit to some joy. Before my very eyes the underdog in this contest, ARAGANT,
defeated SWAYTHE to claim victory and recognition.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
