SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TALCAMA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. DIRT BATH caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested DOT DOT DOT and was awarded 16
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DIRT BATH put down
DOT DOT DOT, causing her to lose 13 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has SPARE ANCHOR in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this
week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion
have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
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 GHOST RIDERS TOO, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of CENTER FOR OLDS 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. RAASHUB take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in TALCAMA.
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!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in TALCAMA. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

I suppose that's what I get for announcing Eesher as my only quality warrior. Oops.
RIP. 9-9-9-17-21-6-13. Mode across the board, but a good learner. Seemed to have
the knack, up until the knack included chestbumping Dirt Bath's scimitar. Bummer. --
