SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TALCAMA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week OF WOLF AND MAN 9 went 2-3-1 to move
up 3 in the rankings. My praise to CENTER FOR OLDS for their 4-1-0 week this time
out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! CARBONATED MILK
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested SON OF
A LICH and was awarded 15 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable
duels, CARBONATED MILK put down SON OF A LICH, causing him to lose 11 points of
recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne,
MHORAM has lost the title of Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the grasp of the
usurper. All hail ANONYMISSUS, Duelmaster of TALCAMA! Would you believe that over
half of the old women in TALCAMA seem to feel that they could fight better than you
gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TALCAMA. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. WAY OF THE BLADE is feared. This much I can say. Methinks
more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last
week avoiding WAY OF THE BLADE. Indeed it was CENTER FOR OLDS. Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after STEELEY SHADOW. Watch your back!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Look no more for TAKOV in the arena or on the
streets of TALCAMA. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for one at
13-13-0. This week marked the last days of RAGEN who at 5-10-0 was dispatched to the
Dark Arena by the command of OF WOLF AND MAN 9's demanding management. ROYCE has
sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of his recent bout with the Dark Arena
horrors. A rare thing indeed! Was I the only one shocked to see the well respected
fighter DRARR (5-2-0) appear on the sands of the Dark Arena? He is now dead. Some
guilds are strict but few are as heartless as OF WOLF AND MAN. Witness, last turn
they sent POOK, a 3-1-0 fighter, to the Dark Arena! Dark alleys may hide both
secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep
vigil always!
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! 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
