"It's a dark and stormy night," Mikela Poole noted.
Her teammate didn't look up from the bridle she was mending. "So?"
"Leeta pointed it out."
"And you're passing on the weather report?" Tiralea asked. "Fine--"
"If Leeta actually points out that the atmospherics are right for the start of
an adventure, I think we should--"
"It won't happen," Tiralea said positively. "There was an official notice
about it: No new adventures this summer. We don't have to worry."
"You want to count on that?"
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ZORPUNT games. IRMEAN caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested THE USEROUS MERCHANT and was awarded
21 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ABSORB ALL put
down TAKES CREDIT, causing him to lose 4 points of recognition in the process. This
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail MIKELA POOLE, Duelmaster of
ZORPUNT! Would you believe that over half of the old women in ZORPUNT seem to feel
that they could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. ZORPUNT, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is KRILL CAVALRY, a guild shunned and avoided by
many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of MONEY PIT are catching the
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that
many fighters are after DO HICKEY. Watch your back!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. IRMEAN, may you forever slay thy enemies
with impunity as you did BILL POOLE JR. Are there none left in KRILL CAVALRY who
hold honor as a virtue? 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 ZORPUNT. 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

PERSONAL ADS
Does Nothing -- Yes, I guess, but you don't do nothing FAST enough. -- Teri Lark
P.S. I actually fell ASLEEP out there.
Ultimate Sin -- (with a sigh of repletion) That was the BEST CHOCOLATE I ever had.
Golly. -- Mikela Poole
Do Hickey -- Not me, you don't! -- Tiralea Flete
Assur -- It's just a thing that happens, not a big deal. Especially for Artimer, who
was a nice enough guy, very charismatic and cool, but no great shakes as a gladiator.
He was 7-13-14-13-13-7-17. And yes, I know, I could bloodfeud with either of my two
warriors in the Champions. But I won't--partly sloth, and partly a long-standing
habit of making it totally clear that I do not take advantage of my situation
regarding this game in any way. -- Leeta, Krill Cavalry
P.S. And if I did elect to actually manage my team in one or two arenas, I don't
think this would be on the short list.
Absorb All -- And people say *I* am annoying! -- The Userous Merchant

Southern Kingdom of Crailmia. All interested parties can diplo me in arena 93 --

Soultaker -- Read your e-mail! -- Guardian
10 July 2006
The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there
could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no
turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and
knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark
Knight.
AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA
CARTEL.
The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat,
Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great
14 July 2006
In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers
the following response:
The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28,
31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106. Stop yapping in the all-arena ads,
pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we
stress maybe) you may speak. You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and
confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
