SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ZUKAL games. BLUE FUNK caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested MIDNIGHT and was awarded 15 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BLUE FUNK put down MIDNIGHT,
causing her to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and
inability to defend the throne, PREDATOR has lost the title of Duelmaster. The city
has turned out in honor of OGRE BATTLE, 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 ZUKAL 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 ZUKAL. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. BLUE MOON is feared. This much I can say. Methinks more
than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week
avoiding BLUE MOON. Indeed it was PAPERBOYS.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
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! 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 next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The
wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Jed -- Fight me enough times and you will end up with a good record. -- Window
We salute the tourney participants. -- Jorja and the Blue Moon
P.S. Bitterman says he always knew that G-String was "REALLY hot stuff."
Silk Garter -- I really like getting close to hot stuff, especially at this season.
Winter, argh, I hate it! But you make me warm all over. -- Bitterman
Midnight -- The steward had it right, I can't BELIEVE you did that! Ouch. -- Blue
Streak
Katana -- I came to the arena today meaning to drop a mountain on you. But the
stewards confiscated my mountain at the door, leaving me totally unprepared. --
Blammo
Ladyhawke -- Tourney preparation, I suppose? Not what I like to see--unless there is
so much regular activity that one doesn't even NOTICE the tourney warriors popping in
and out--but it's better than no action at all. Just, ah, don't do that again, okay?
-- Blue Funk
Through the Window -- Good gods, either you're seriously inept, or you're trying to
keep low for the tourney. Either way, I won't turn down the win. But I would have
liked more than one skill. -- Jed Tarran Dapp
