SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ALJAFIR games. STELRA TIRINS caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested AIM OBTUSE HAMMER and was
awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, STELRA
TIRINS put down AIM OBTUSE HAMMER, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in
the process. Although DROGBA made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the
reign of victorious ATTILA THE HUN. Would you believe that over half of the old
women in ALJAFIR seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ALJAFIR "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in ALJAFIR these days is STEEL WOLVES. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find
any of DELTA DOOM last week. Busy avoiding STEEL WOLVES? Mighty fighters cannot but
expect competition from those below. VIOLET ORC take warning! You have more than a
few enemies in ALJAFIR.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and
assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in ALJAFIR 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: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise
are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Attila the Hung -- Ah, I take that back, the HUN, not the HUNG. Whatever. Nasty
pussycat, aren't you? -- Vinn Wulf, exhibiting a natural canid antipathy
Aim Seduce Hammer -- Not ME, you won't, you darned orcess! You just take your
veritable wall of blades and go block an alley or something. -- Stelra Tirins
Yellow Orc -- I'm always surprised when the Commission, in its unfathomable wisdom
sees you and your teammates, who actually CALL yourselves orcs, and rates you as just
about anything else at all. I suppose it's some quality of basic perversity, which,
the gods know, the Commission has in full and overflowing measure. -- Xaviora Yohl
Rooney -- I think you'd be funnier as a troll, but it's been that kind of day here.
Nothing personal. -- Tamarin Mellirn
Shadow -- I didn't set out to fight wolves when I entered the arena, and you see how
right I was. I just don't have the knack for it. Good work on your part. --
