SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly LAPUR games. BUSCH GARDENS caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested GRIEVOUS and was awarded 20
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BUSCH GARDENS put
down GRIEVOUS, causing it to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has YEZURA in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week
she's proven hers combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion
have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. DEVIATION is feared. This much I
can say. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find
any of TOURIST TRAPS last week. Busy avoiding DEVIATION? Mighty fighters cannot but
expect competition from those below. SOYUSE take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in LAPUR.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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!
The girls are as pretty in LAPUR as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! 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

PERSONAL ADS
Cardow Hunters -- Thank you! -- Zot
P.S. Who's Shierrah?
Major goddess of the Rirorni, sometimes visualized as a white mare.
Dances with Rain -- I don't know, I couldn't grow a beard if my life depended on it.
Boran says he can't imagine not having one, though. -- Fledgeling
Hunter -- Yes, but I could also do without it, apparently even more. -- Fledgeling
Dances with Rain -- I must disagree. Red hair is NOT the mark of chaos, it is the
mark of all that is good in life. After all, *I* do have red hair. -- Wyren
Hmm, two sent to the Dark Arena, and both return. Perhaps the monsters are slipping?
-- Guido
More likely it's the rain.
Ali -- I seem to have a knack for dodging. -- Zot
Queen for a Day -- I guess I can't argue, your Majesty. -- Mosidae
Risui -- Well, win or not, at least it was fun. -- Wyren
Universal Studios -- Do you guys even read these? -- Fledgeling
All -- Unfortunately, due to a severely limited budget, the Guild will be going on
hiatus. Lapur was my first home in Alastari, and holds a special place in my heart,
so I plan to return someday, I just don't know when. -- Guido
Tourist Traps -- Don't forget "The Thing!" in Arizona. -- Jorja
Zot -- I understood the circumstances. And though I would RATHER have won, still,
glad to see you make it out alive. -- Red Mare
Fledgeling -- Anything that looks interesting. Dinner? A better job? I'm not
picky. -- Hunter
An oh-fer turn. Damn. I'm going to blame it on everybody being psyched up for the
tourney. Otherwise, WE have to take the blame, and we don't WANT to. -- Red Mare
