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 JEROME and was awarded 20 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DOLBY JOSSEL put down JEROME,
causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has
JACKSON in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven
hers combat skill yet again. 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!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city SOLVEN. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.
IO OLDEND take warning! You have more than a few enemies in SOLVEN. A match that
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that ANTHON posted a challenge
against the more highly recognized IO OLDEND. The results, you ask? Well, the
firebrand ANTHON was overcame by IO OLDEND. Remember warriors, this is the
discipline of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! 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 SOLVEN. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool
flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only
once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Dolby -- You are not in range to challenge this turn, so I tried to set it up with
challenges so that we'd match up. If all goes well, I should head out into the arena
floor against you with nothing but a Large Shield. Looking forward to reading the
fight! -- Jerome
P.S. If for some reason we don't get matched up, the next time you are in challenge
range of me, I'll challenge you with a shield only strat, and you can use an if
challenged of the same if you like.
Jerome -- So, YOU get to meet women, but Dolby is still stuck fighting men. Serves
him right! -- Io Oldend
P.S. He's trying to remember what armor and weapons he needs for the special match.
I think he's taken too many blows to the head.
Lipstick -- Young woman, that is a most unbecoming wax you have smeared on your lips.
It makes you look like some sort of clown. -- Garbin Mooris
Jackson -- I'm glad I could be there for you, babe. -- Chucker Istta
Anthon -- What? -- Dolby Jossel
Jerome -- Cheese, turn 577 is already coming up! Where does the time go? I'm
sending in an if-challenged strategy as suggested, don't know if it'll be input or
not. Sometimes we fall through the cracks in the Ghean universe, a very unpleasant
thing to do. -- Dolby Jossel
Aw, that Trustworthy Scribe was a gimme. -- Chawlie Istta
Kellumbo -- A bigger difference in basic? Bound to've been. I don't have time to go
look stuff up now, it's been a week and a half here since last Thursday, but if it's
just a difference in basic-arena FE you're looking for, I've got one who graduated
with one hundred fights (only eight wins) and another who had more fights (but DID
get fourteen wins, for a "natural" graduation rather than a "sandbagger shanghai").
