SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of MALCORN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team GREENWARDENS was
unseated this week as DARK CREATION moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-2-2 record for the round. STRADA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested SOMNAMBULANT and was awarded 13 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VITAE put down REDBIRD,
causing her to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the
fights this week, the spotlight was on BLACK ORC as he bore arms against the Dark
Arena Challenge of reigning Duelmaster FIERCE TIGER. The crowds were amazed this
turn, as BLACK ORC killed the Duelmaster, FIERCE TIGER, leaving STARBASE 5 in
mourning. With bloody hand JESSALIN has ascended to the throne of champions. Is she
that one which is spoken of in the ancient texts? 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 MALCORN "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! MALCORN, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is BLOODSWORN, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. Apparently the stalwarts of DARK CREATION are catching the bulk of jests down
at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after JESSALIN. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games
this week, it seems that HOMUNCULUS posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized JESSALIN. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand HOMUNCULUS was
defeated by JESSALIN. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
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
Somnambulist -- If that's the result of sleep-walking, maybe I should try it. The
gods know I need more sleep. -- Patterson Pine
Strada -- Old familiar faces. How is it that I won that match? -- Jessalin
Varpulis Rukh -- Er, I hope you don't mind me mentioning this, but I think you may
have made a career error? -- Redbird
Ah, the Embezzling Scribe. A fool. -- Mossrock
A Convicted Thief? What did he steal? From whom? Why? I really want to know what
kind of thievery requires an arena career as, what, punishment? Reward? --
Roseshadow
P.S. I am NOT Shewish! I say this, not because I would be ashamed of Shewish blood,
because I wouldn't, but because the simplest fool could see that I'm less than five
and a half feet tall. What are the Commission scribes THINKING?
Our congratulations to Fierce Tiger. -- the Greenwardens
