                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly KOLACT games.  QUASIMODO caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ESTRELLA and was awarded 17 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, DANGEROUS CRIMINAL put down 
MOONDAY, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process.  This time 
victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail SYD TUBULAR, Duelmaster of 
KOLACT!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in KOLACT seem to feel 
that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In KOLACT "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!   
     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!   
     The girls are as pretty in KOLACT as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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

Quip -- You have to beat the Duelmaster to be the Duelmaster.  ...which...you...did.
Not sure why I brought it up.  Cept'n acourse'n I'm an optimist.  Which is a fancy
schmancy word for daydreamer. -- Syd Tubular

Moonday -- You must have gotten the fast sand, I came out a bit on the sluggish side.
Which in this game is tantamount to retirement. (for the day, Moonday, just for the
day) -- Mr. Shrdlu

Actaon -- Streamers in my hair.  Not as frightening as burning fuses in a beard, but
then we can't all be pirates.  Or bearded. (well, maybe just a little beard, a ladies
beard, a van dyke, maybe) -- Sadie

Sir Cumference -- Ain't you a in-the-facer. -- Camy

Mr Shrdlu -- I believe what you need is another vowel.  Since I have a double-oh, and
I only really NEED one of them, I'm going to give you the other one.  Henceforth, you
will be known to us as Mr Shrdlu-O.  Remember this! -- Monday

Sir Cophagus -- Well, heck. -- Ghost of Falling Star
P.S.  Bury me in one, okay?

Sadie -- I thought of a good rhyme for you, but I can't use it.  It's too...well,
call it a whitewash.  Can't do that.  Whitewashing is Bad, and it leads to glowing in
the dark. -- Actaon

Quasimodo -- You'd probably do better if you could stand up straight. -- Estrella
P.S.  I didn't know they had back braces to make you HUNCH.  I've never seen one of
THOSE before.  That's cruel and unusual costuming.

Dangerous Criminal?  Bah, he's just an orc hater!  The pig. -- Cynica

Sadie -- Yes...but did she teach that AMAZING trick she had with--  Um, maybe I
hadn't better say that here.  Come around to the back of our guildhouse after
midnight tonight and I'll show you what she showed ME. -- Estrella

Sadie -- Clean ears are important. -- Actaon, ever hopeful

freely! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
