SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of WILLAF! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team EMOTIONAL PANTS was
unseated this week as PUNNY AMINALS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot
with a 4-1-0 record for the round. JOHN DERE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GOLD CHARM and was awarded 23 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HORUS MANN put down LONELY
HANDMEDOWNS, causing it to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. This time
victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail BILLY JACK, Duelmaster of WILLAF!
Would you believe that over half of the old women in WILLAF seem to feel that they
could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city WILLAF. WILLAF, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is SERPENTS HOLD 114, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Apparently the stalwarts of GOLDEN GLADIATORS are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. My sources at SERPENTS HOLD 114 stable
claim they've never seen the guild bitterer. This as a result of the untimely demise
of ANTIVENOM. Beware AMBITIOUS GUARD! 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!
The girls are as pretty in WILLAF as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! 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
