SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RIZTAB! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team SWEET MAGIC was unseated
this week as DREAMERS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-1-0
record for the round. ALCMAEON caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission
as he skillfully bested DORA BELL and was awarded 12 points in recognition. In one
of the week's more notable duels, ALCMAEON put down DORA BELL, causing her to lose 8
points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the
usurper. All hail ACE, Duelmaster of RIZTAB! 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 RIZTAB "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in RIZTAB these days is DREAMERS. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid
them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any
of BLADES OF TERROR last week. Busy avoiding DREAMERS?
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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Archytas -- No, absolutely not. I quite dislike ribbon candy, and I will not make it
for you. How about chocolate creampuffs? -- Donnamira
Aristoclea -- I know it isn't in our usual line of sweets and desserts, but I think
you might like this, well, I guess it's a side dish: asparagus tips in a rich sauce.
I think it came out well. Try it and let me know. -- Dora Bell
Black Bartok isn't such a bad guy, really, and he liked my Bitter Chocolate Death.
Not that I killed him, although if he'd eaten the whole THING, well, who knows? It's
intense. -- Jaylene Mokhar
Tio the Moneychanger is an OAF, or WORSE. It's probably an insult to oafs to call
him one. And I'm not going to make him (ick) a suet pudding, either. The very idea
makes me nauseous. -- Nonellia
Willie the Rat is your typical amoral, underfed urchin, and he can't be trusted an
inch, but it's a pleasure to feed him. EVERYTHING tastes good to him. -- Lorimera

Note -- We are still looking for additional teams in Arvat, DM 32. I still have a
number of good team rollups available FREE for whoever wants one.
Contact the Devil Advocates ASAP to join the fun! You can either reach me by
diplo or on the RSI site.
Also, whoever sent me the diplo with no name on it requesting a rollup /
information on how to get into Arvat, I'm embarassed to admit that the diplo slipped
out of my folder and was lost. Please just send me another one with your mailing
address and I'll get a rollup to you ASAP. Sorry about that!
