SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ALJAFIR games. WONDER WOMAN caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested PERSISTENT BEGGAR and was
awarded 13 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KUNG-FU
MASTER put down BARNUM CHELLS, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the
process. Most watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on HIGH ELF as he
bore arms against the Dark Arena Challenge of reigning Duelmaster CAPT KIRCHNER. The
crowds were amazed this turn, as HIGH ELF killed the Duelmaster, CAPT KIRCHNER,
leaving 82ND ILLINOIS in mourning. With bloody hand DAWN has ascended to the throne
of champions. Is she that one which is spoken of in the ancient texts? Would you
believe that over half of the old women in ALJAFIR seem to feel that they could fight
better than you gladiators?
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 82ND ILLINOIS, a guild shunned and avoided by
many in the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard
pressed to find any of ZOMBIE SQUAD 2 last week. Busy avoiding 82ND ILLINOIS? Loose
talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many
fighters are after LT. OLSEN. Watch your back! I can not but mention with disdain
the name of LT. OLSEN who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 12 points
below in the rankings. I thought LT. OLSEN showed great skill and promise when he
won victory over ARAGON. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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! 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
Our congratulations to Capt Kirchner. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
Lt. Olsen -- I'd be glad to graduate, too, you know, but you aren't helping. ONE
skill? I've been at this nearly two YEARS now, and I don't have a single rating. My
teammates laugh at me. The fans throw rotten vegetables. It's awful. -- Senlum Nosh
Gabogool -- Hey, not bad! Good back-and-forth action: I hit, you sway back and
forth. I like it. -- Morris Ormran, a better duelist than his teammate Senlum, who
is a wimp and a dummy
Morris -- Not in the NEWSLETTER! That's insulting, and you can just leave that in
your pocket, dammit. -- Senlum
Capt Kirchner -- I suppose it's hidden tourney wins that let you graduate with only
thirteen visible wins, but what the heck. Good work. And to be honest, glad to see
you go. -- Barnum Chells
Whirling Froggy -- There you go, a defeat, a skill, and a valuable lesson all in one:
Never step out onto the sands while reeling with dizziness. I know some critics
claim that whirling and darting can be an effective tactic, but you'll notice that no
practicing gladiator says it. -- Caleb Door
Lt Sporre -- Luck, okay, and better wind. I guess I should work on that. -- Fenster
