It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly ZUKAL games. Former top team BLUE MOON was unseated this week as THE MONGOLOIDS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round. WILYUM caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BLU JON and was awarded 17 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, WILYUM put down BLU JON, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has NAHTALEE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill yet again. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps? Many and various are the arts of battle. In ZUKAL "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! I can not but mention with disdain the name of STEEV who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 13 points below in the rankings. I thought STEEV showed great skill and promise when he won victory over ULTORINO. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! 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! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in ZUKAL. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

Only twenty-four fifty. So I have to pass on this one. -- Bluette Ha! The Dangerous Criminal, dread Horlinse himself, is helpless before me! Am I good, or what? -- Ultorino Incisor -- That bites, doesn't it? -- Blue Blotto P.S. You might need a crown on that one. The Cult Member could not withstand my cogent arguments!
