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 A UNIT was unseated
this week as ALL THINGS FLOYD moved up from 5th ranking to take the top spot with a
3-1-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at G.O.L.F.'s guildhouse after a
1-2-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 7th. Dark Arena anyone?
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week
BODY OF MUSIC went 4-0-1 to move up 5 in the rankings. My praise to MIDDLE WAY for
their 4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving
of notice! LEAD BELLY caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested ARCANE and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, LEAD BELLY put down ARCANE, causing him to lose 14 points
of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has PING in the past laid claim to
the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. No
confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using
magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ALJAFIR. ALJAFIR, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is ALL THINGS FLOYD, 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
G.O.L.F. last week. Busy avoiding ALL THINGS FLOYD? Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
ARCANE. Watch your back!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
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 next we meet remember: a fool flies into
a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani

Jorja -- I add my voiice to Chuck's, but temper it some because I know you spend a
lot of time on DM and probably need a vacation. Whatever is going on in your life, I
wish you luck. -- Padre
Chuck -- Though I'm not a great fan of fish (an inlander born and bred), I'm a sucker
for a courteous request. So, we're back again. -- Jorja and those who walk the
Middle Way
And as long as we're here again... we salute the tourney participants, with a special
nod for Supremacy, tourney victor. -- Jorja etc.
