Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. LADY BIRD JOHNSON caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested PERSISTENT BEGGAR and was awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, RAMEX put down MOTHER GHEA NEWS, causing her to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has NEWT ROCKNE 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 ZUWAYZA 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 ZUWAYZA. ZUWAYZA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is SEINFELD, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of MAN OR BEAST? 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. DOTTLE take warning! You have more than a few enemies in ZUWAYZA. Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! I must report the passing of TRUE CRIME, veteran of many duels. 6-19-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. 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! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in ZUWAYZA. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NEWT ROCKNE 5179 11 1 0 121 MAN OR BEAST?
