SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of BONSUR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team BEACH BABES was unseated
this week as TOOL SHED moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-1-0
record for the round. MONA FROM MAUI caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as she skillfully bested PERSISTENT BEGGAR and was awarded 15 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VICIOUS PIRATE put down PEARL
WHITE, causing her to lose 5 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 NIKKI NAILS himself. Who here was not present for the title fight this
week as EILEEN boldly challenged NIKKI NAILS in order to strive for the Duelmasters
honors? The city has turned out in honor of EILEEN, for with hers arena victory she
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 BONSUR "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! BONSUR, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is BEACH BABES, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding BEACH BABES. Indeed it was CHURCH LADIES.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? 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 BONSUR as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! 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

PERSONAL ADS
Annie -- Next time sit still and I'll hit you with my awl. -- CD
The Sentinels will be absent this turn from the sands of Bonsur. We hope this is
only temporary and expect to return next turn.
Dellea -- No special meaning to the name, it is just the one that I received. Not
much I can do about it. Sort of like fighting Pearl, somethings you just can't
control. -- Anzahanzek
Balor -- I saw your tourney results. I know when I have received a very unfortunate
matchup. And what is really sad is that I was training con and missed a great chance
to learn a pile of skills. Please climb the ranks quickly and leave the true inits
alone. -- Ozawindib
Saw Horse -- See! I can win sometimes. I just need someone to stand around and let
me pile to stuff on them and then cut it up. -- Whiskeyjack
Dellea -- Yep, I knew that was a matchup I wouldn't like. But the post fight smash
does take some of the sting out of it. -- Skara Brae
We see that there are tourney reports posted. Good! And also that some Bonsurians
did very well, though most of them are graduates. Still, we salute 'em. -- Jorja and
the Beach Babes
P.S. Ozymandias, alas, we look on his works and despair.
Anzahanzek -- I was careful against you. Well, mostly I was careful to be sure I had
your name spelled correctly. To do otherwise would be enormously rude! A good
effort, though, and surely your injuries could be soothed by a suitable dosage of
smash? -- Pearl White
Nikki Nails -- Those arena officials! I didn't need to fight you, since I'm leaving.
I didn't want to and cannot be duelmaster. Tcha! I'm sure you'll do very well and
be a credit to Bonsur's gladiatorial community. -- Luau Lila
P.S. Besides, I do like the way you do your nails. Azure with gold stars, very
flashy.
P.P.S. Why are you pretending to be male? Anyone who looks at you out there must
realize that you're a well-shaped woman.
Skara Brae -- Do you sing that song about being a rock? For some reason, I think of
it every time I see you. Which is odd, because I've never known a rock, and I have
known many, who could put away that much smash in an evening and still walk home
unaided. -- Dellea Dover
Woodchip Willa -- Damn, splinters everywhere! -- Bellamore, trying to dig them out of
her hands, face, and her ahem
Why was the Pirate Condemned? I could see arresting him and hauling him ashore so he
wouldn't go on raiding shipping, but why CONDEMN him? -- Annalee
