SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of RIZTAB! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Did only my eyes note the 3-1-0 record which BLUE NOTE managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! BANJO MAN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested CHARLENE and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, EYE BREAKER put down JOY OF LOSING, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. Although SKELETON made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious MUD MUD FROG. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps? But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city RIZTAB. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. BLUE NOTE 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 ENGLISH FOOTBALL last week. Busy avoiding BLUE NOTE? Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. COLTRANE take warning! You have more than a few enemies in RIZTAB. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that MARTYR posted a challenge against the more highly recognized VAMPYR. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand MARTYR beat VAMPYR. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. 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 RIZTAB. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MUD MUD FROG 6953 14 10 0 117 KAOS FROGS (656) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -KORYNN FROG 6954 11 1 0 125 KAOS FROGS (656) KANE TOAD 6853 12 5 0 107 KAOS FROGS (656) PROCLUS 6962 18 17 3 106 DREAMERS (142) SKELETON 1040 16 13 1 99 THE UNDEAD (136) GHOST 6606 13 8 1 95 THE UNDEAD (136) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HELIODORUS 6971 16 11 1 90 DREAMERS (142) AMMONIUS 6972 13 16 0 86 DREAMERS (142) NELLI POLITANA 6952 18 28 0 82 SWEET MAGIC (267) TATUM 6978 16 15 0 81 BLUE NOTE (474) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ARIGNOTE 7035 7 5 0 78 DREAMERS (142) MARTYR 7003 7 1 0 77 TORTURED (669) VAMPYR 6608 11 10 1 70 THE UNDEAD (136) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME YODA MAN 6328 7 39 0 62 WHO DA MAN?
