SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of SOLVEN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. DOLBY JOSSEL caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DUNCAN HUNTER and was awarded 17
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DOLBY JOSSEL put
down DUNCAN HUNTER, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process.
Although CRACKHEAD made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious TRUMP. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this
week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in SOLVEN these days is THE REPUBLICANS. At least, most blades in town
are looking to avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard
pressed to find any of CRY HAVOC last week. Busy avoiding THE REPUBLICANS? Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. RED STATE take warning!
You have more than a few enemies in SOLVEN. I can not but mention with disdain the
name of JACKSON who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 15 points below
in the rankings. I thought JACKSON showed great skill and promise when she beat RED
STATE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Cadmus -- <taking off Chaos Helm(tm)> You couldn't tell by the horns on this ol'
bucket? I am just getting Shux ready for her next tournament, and thought I'd try to
take away a few free fights from Kellumbo while I was at it. Good to see you in
Aradi, it's nice to have some non-FONZ challenge targets (tho' I do love challenging
the FONZ). Will you be TOGSing, I presume? -- Nuln, the chaos lord behind the man
behind 4 Letter Fruit Bats (with apologies to TUM)
Ghost of Gallantins Morik -- Ha ha! I respect a man who can crack a joke at his own
demise. I know I certainly do not wish death on you again, either. Good luck in the
afterlife! -- Shoot
Edgiles Kapp -- Why Mr. Kapp, aren't you the fresh one. I require at least 20 lunch
"accompaniments" to the ice-cream parlor before moving on to dinner. -- Shux
Dolby Jossel -- Wow! Two skills! A new record. -- Birdbrain
Crackhead -- Ouch. -- Belissa Hough
P.S. Hey, I can't think of great things to say EVERY time. Besides, my head aches.
Birdbrain -- Damn, bad match for me! -- Dolby Jossel
P.S. And you aren't living up to your name.
Jackson -- I kept it short just for you, babe. -- Chucker Istta
Nafisah -- I don't think I've ever known any gladiator to admit to liking hospitals.
-- Edgiles Kapp
Romney -- Ah! Great beginning for me: a really cool id number, and a win. Thanks
for the win. -- Heladika Noe
P.S. Hmm, I could've been an orc. I wonder if I should have opted for that...?
Simpleton -- This is true, but at least it wouldn't get soggy. -- Dolby Jossel
Masochist -- You're easy to please. I like that in an opponent. -- Edgiles Kapp
