Always a pleasant encounter. Silver Ghost 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 RAINBOW CONNECTION was unseated this week as SERPENTS' HOLD moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-0-0 record for the round. BOWEN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested BOBCAT and was awarded 17 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SOURWOOD put down STEVE, causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has SILVER GHOST in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill yet again. 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! Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! Let all swords of the city take heed! By law, EVIL EASTER BUNNY has but one remaining week to take their revenge upon STEVE for the slaying of JANUARY O. IRONTAIL. 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? 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 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 SKITTLES 5048 16 12 0 99 RAINBOW CONNECTION (503) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DEANO 4830 13 4 2 109 MARKS PARTY (489) BOWEN 5091 6 2 0 94 SERPENTS' HOLD (510) HONEYSUCKLE 5038 20 13 0 91 GREENWARDENS (244) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOBCAT 5056 15 9 0 80 GREENWARDENS (244) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SOURWOOD 5047 14 16 1 74 GREENWARDENS (244) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STEVE 5027 13 23 2 64 RAINBOW CONNECTION (503) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SHANK 5109 3 0 0 31 SERPENTS' HOLD (510) BUCHI 5092 2 1 0 27 SERPENTS' HOLD (510) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SUNDOG 5075 4 9 1 22 GREENWARDENS (244) -PURPLE DRAGON 5116 1 0 0 11 INK & STEEL RETRO (513) -INK BISTRO 5111 0 1 0 1 INK & STEEL RETRO (513) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
