I really did not learn very many skills during my time here. I end up with less than 15 overall skills and only ranked in Parry with an advanced expert. I am going out with a challenge to the losers over at Looney tunes and the one warrior in the Challenger Champions I have not faced and beat. I suspect he came out of retirement just to see if he can go 18 mins with me. Taz. It will be fun, I look forward to it. I guess by now everyone knows how my challenge ended up. I am off after this turn to new sands after getting my invite last turn. Good luck, Dutiful, on your hunt for the top spot. SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of CHIMLEVTAL! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week NUMBERS GAME went 3-1-0 to move up 5 in the rankings. GROM HELLSCREAM caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested WAKIZASHI and was awarded 26 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, GROM HELLSCREAM put down WAKIZASHI, causing him to lose 25 points of recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster DRONE-ON himself. Not for nothing has DRONE-ON in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his 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! Many and various are the arts of battle. In CHIMLEVTAL "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in CHIMLEVTAL these days is THE STORM REAVERS. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of BAD NEWS BEES are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that THE FOOL posted a challenge against the more highly recognized TAZ. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand THE FOOL defeated TAZ. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? This week marked the last days of SHREWD who at 7-7-0 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of THE FARSEERS' demanding management. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AWESOME 80'S 5954 9 4 0 122 NUMBERS GAME (403) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CIRCA 1968 5915 12 11 2 103 NUMBERS GAME (403) THE FOOL 6400 11 8 0 99 THE FARSEERS (629) DUTIFUL 6408 13 6 2 98 THE FARSEERS (629) THRALL 5074 15 11 0 97 THE STORM REAVERS (408) GROM HELLSCREAM 5379 10 10 1 96 THE STORM REAVERS (408) KATANA 6349 16 5 0 91 AVENGERS (146) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME REBEKKA 5497 18 14 0 90 MORE DESTROYERS (567) TAZ 5200 11 5 0 88 LOONY TOONS (206) WAKIZASHI 6322 23 15 0 84 AVENGERS (146) VENGEANCE 4369 15 20 3 84 THE STORM REAVERS (408) OU812 5943 11 7 0 83 NUMBERS GAME (403) AMUR 6323 18 20 0 80 AVENGERS (146) -VIP SECTION 5531 16 16 2 80 ALL NIGHT LONG (570) -TERROR TWIN 5620 13 15 1 73 ALL NIGHT LONG (570) CORWIN 5488 8 6 1 70 MORE DESTROYERS (567) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RAPTOR 4594 12 15 1 65 THE CANUCKS (58) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HEATHER 5491 12 12 0 62 MORE DESTROYERS (567) SYLVESTER 4154 10 6 0 62 LOONY TOONS (206) MANDIN ORWELL 6336 14 16 0 58 MIDDLE WAY 7 (536) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FLYBY 3041 8 4 0 55 BAD NEWS BEES (320) LUMUS NELP 6328 8 28 1 53 MIDDLE WAY 7 (536) KILROGG DEADEYE 6397 8 0 0 53 THE STORM REAVERS (408) PANDA ROSS 6383 7 6 2 42 MIDDLE WAY 7 (536) RONDOR SENDAL 6343 7 15 1 37 MIDDLE WAY 7 (536) NINE-TAILED FOX 6359 6 3 0 36 NUMBERS GAME (403) NOISEY KRICKET 5343 5 6 0 35 LOONY TOONS (206) STEEL DRAGON 5541 5 2 0 35 THE CANUCKS (58) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DAIKKAN 5624 5 4 0 33 MORE DESTROYERS (567) -WHITE LINE FEVER 6002 4 2 0 32 ALL NIGHT LONG (570) -BRAND NEW CHICK 6380 2 0 0 31 KAOS II (606) SWEETNESS 6437 4 0 0 28 BAD NEWS BEES (320) TERON GOREFIEND 6398 5 3 2 26 THE STORM REAVERS (408) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SANDRA 5487 4 2 2 23 MORE DESTROYERS (567) -SKIN A.

The opportunity for me to Blood Feud you is now over. -- Stinger, mgr Bad News Bees Rebekka -- You kept knocking me down only for me to rise again and again and in the end watch you go down and stay there. -- Drone-On Black Rolf -- Good try and in the end some good skill learns. -- Black Bee Osmond Quint -- My Feud with you is over. Way to stand in there. I hope you got some good skills from our times together. My helm is off to you. -- Flyby Destitute Noble -- More the merrier. -- Jorja The Catalyst -- Hmm, a basher would work: 13-3-21-11-15-8-13, if my math is right. He could use a warhammer, and he's got enough WL to raise a stat or two (such as CN). Or a striker, almost anything works for a striker, maybe 11-5-21-11-15-8-13 and train up that CN (otherwise he's likely to DIE, which is so discouraging). Several possible weapons for a striker. -- Jorja Lobo -- Don't get carried away there! A dedicated number-cruncher with this long in the game, and there are a LOT of them, knows a lot more than I do. But I talk more. -- Jorja Our congratulations to Drone-On. -- Jorja and those who walk the Middle Way Flyby -- And again well done. -- Osmond Quint P.S. Although with your greater experience, I'd expect more than one skill! I'm not actually stupid. Killrogg Deadeye -- That dead eye is distracting. Maybe you should get a magical prosthetic? -- Panda Ross Steel Dragon -- You just do that to embarrass me, don't you? And for the skills.... -- Rondor Sendal Shrewd -- Wow, I didn't think I had that in me! It isn't like I'm some monster of wit. -- Mandin Orwell Damned guards.... -- Lumus Nelp LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS SHREWD was viciously butchered by HIGH ELF in a 3 minute Dark Arena fight.
