SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly RIZTAB games. Former top team HELL-MART was unseated
this week as DREAMERS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-1-0
record for the round. There were bitter words at BLACKED OUT ON...'s guildhouse
after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 6th. Dark Arena
anyone? Not for nothing has NIETZSCHE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's
throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Heed this! A seer has
warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. BLACKED OUT ON... 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 HELL-MART last week. Busy avoiding BLACKED OUT ON...? Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. BIG TICKET take warning! You have
more than a few enemies in RIZTAB. I cannot but express pride for the fearlessness
of WHISKEY SMASH who cast caution to the winds and challenged DEAD END, a fighter 28
points higher. 4 points of newly earned recognition and a dose of my admiration is
what WHISKEY SMASH must now weigh against the defeat which resulted. A match that
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that DAGGER LAMENT posted a
challenge against the more highly recognized BIG TICKET. The results, you ask?
Well, the firebrand DAGGER LAMENT bested BIG TICKET. Remember warriors, this is the
discipline of steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! 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.--
