Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. REDBIRD caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested WENDIGO and was awarded 14 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, REDBIRD put down WENDIGO, causing her to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. Who here was not present for the title fight this week as SILVAMERE boldly challenged HOMUNCULUS in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors? Although SILVAMERE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious HOMUNCULUS. 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 MALCORN. 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 PLANTS are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. STRADA take warning! You have more than a few enemies in MALCORN. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that VITAE posted a challenge against the more highly recognized SOMNAMBULANT. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand VITAE defeated SOMNAMBULANT. 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. 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 MALCORN as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STRADA 4703 31 12 0 115 STARBASE 5 (263) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VITAE 4861 13 2 2 111 BLOODSWORN (482) SILVAMERE 4843 11 8 0 98 BLOODSWORN (482) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SOMNAMBULANT 4784 23 10 0 86 DARK CREATION (471) AZAZEL 4854 11 9 1 86 DARK CREATION (471) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME REDBIRD 4869 9 5 0 66 GREENWARDENS (244) DEANO 4830 6 1 2 63 MARKS PARTY (489) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LUTHERAX 4868 11 2 2 53 DARK CREATION (471) WENDIGO 4866 6 8 1 46 DARK CREATION (471) -ANGELTEAR 4842 12 6 1 45 BLOODSWORN (482) BET TWICE 4858 8 11 1 43 TRIPLE CROWN (382) MOSSROCK 4871 7 6 1 41 GREENWARDENS (244) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VARPULIS RUKH 4863 6 10 0 33 STARBASE 5 (263) TOE MAE TOE 4708 3 0 0 33 PLANTS (477) -GRASS 4831 3 1 0 33 MARKS PARTY (489) SUGAR BEET 4705 3 0 0 28 PLANTS (477) AVENGELINA 4888 2 1 0 25 STARBASE 5 (263) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOSS 4877 3 4 0 23 STARBASE 5 (263) KORSETH 4894 2 0 1 22 BLOODSWORN (482) -CANNONADE 4749 1 0 0 22 TRIPLE CROWN (382) PIE EYED PIPER 4878 3 4 0 21 STARBASE 5 (263) SAFFLOWER 4707 2 1 1 19 PLANTS (477) WIND RIDER 4876 4 5 0 17 GREENWARDENS (244) -HORRORSCAR 4880 3 1 0 17 BLOODSWORN (482) -KEMAY 4865 1 0 0 16 MARKS PARTY (489) STUMP 4882 1 3 0 6 GREENWARDENS (244) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -NEMO 4648 1 1 0 4 DOWN WITH THE SHIP (468) ROCK MAPLE 4897 0 1 0 1 GREENWARDENS (244) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

I am OUT of here and glad of it. -- Patterson Pine P.S. Nothing personal, but I look at the arena, at my record, and I ask myself, is this what I want to do with the rest of my life?
