SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TALCAMA games. Former top team INANIMATE TOFU was
unseated this week as COSMIC KARMA moved up from 5th ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-2-0 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon INANIMATE TOFU this
time out who this turn suffered a fall into 7th position in the wake of a 0-4-0
round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how
this week COSMIC KARMA went 3-2-0 to move up 4 in the rankings. Did only my eyes
note the 3-0-0 record which WOMB OF HORRORS managed to post this round? I don't
doubt that such a record will draw challengers! TAMOACHAN caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested NOVA HELIX and was awarded 23
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, TAMOACHAN put down
NOVA HELIX, causing him to lose 20 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has GO RUN in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week
he's proven his combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half of the old
women in TALCAMA seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In TALCAMA "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! TALCAMA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is OF WOLF AND MAN, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of THE EMERALD ISLES are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. HURIN take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in TALCAMA.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? HURIN has sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of his
recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors. A rare thing indeed! My sources at THE
EMERALD ISLES stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer. This as a result
of the untimely demise of SMIDGE. Beware LADY LITHIUM! This week's duel proved
deadly to SMIDGE as he fell to the more renowned warrior, LADY LITHIUM. How will THE
EMERALD ISLES find revenge? Walk proud, warriors of MAD SCIENTISTS! By striking
down SMIDGE you have avenged the honor of your dead. Your virtue is known to all in
TALCAMA. 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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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
