SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ALJAFIR games. Former top team STEEL WOLVES was
unseated this week as HEROESANDFOUNDONES moved up from 4th ranking to take the top
spot with a 4-0-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always
around the corner! Witness how this week HEROESANDFOUNDONES went 4-0-0 to move up 3
in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 3-0-0 record which BALANCE OF TERROR
managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!
TAN ORC caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested
STRAIGHT LINE and was awarded 22 points in recognition. In one of the week's more
notable duels, CHERRY PITTER put down VINN WULF, causing him to lose 12 points of
recognition in the process. Who here was not present for the title fight this week
as QUIVRA NGEDO boldly challenged THORIK in order to strive for the Duelmasters
honors? The city has turned out in honor of QUIVRA NGEDO, for with hers arena
victory she may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! No confirmation,
but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.
Charmed weapons perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. ALJAFIR, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is BALANCE OF TERROR, a guild shunned and
avoided by many in the weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the
guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding BALANCE OF TERROR.
Indeed it was GROW. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms
the knowledge that many fighters are after VALDRIC. Watch your back!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Walk proud, warriors of
HEROESANDFOUNDONES! By striking down PHLEUM PRATENSE you have avenged the honor of
your dead. Your virtue is known to all in ALJAFIR. 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 ALJAFIR 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 we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
