SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ARVAT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. The city has turned out in honor of LOU
CYPHER, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in
the city! No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their
position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ARVAT. ARVAT, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds
is DEVIL ADVOCATES, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Apparently the stalwarts of DEVIL ADVOCATES are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot
but expect competition from those below. LOGGERHEAD take warning! You have more
than a few enemies in ARVAT. I can not but mention with disdain the name of M. A.
FISTAFOLES who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 15 points below in
the rankings. I thought M. A. FISTAFOLES showed great skill and promise when he was
subdued by UNITED. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Perhaps even the strong cannot escape the vagaries
of this world. This week arena veteran BILL ZEYBUB was slain, despite a 9-6-0
record. Cruelly, ELECTRIC EYE of CALL THE PRIEST has slain the lesser ranked BILL
ZEYBUB. Word already flies around town that DEVIL ADVOCATES plans a bloodfeud! 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 ARVAT. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! 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.--

PERSONAL ADS
All -- My apologies for missing the turn and not submitting any personals. I am back
in my DM groove, so I should be around for a few months at least. -- Rillion
Jorja -- I know the people behind the personalities were both 'present' in 107, I was
just commenting about not sharing an arena with this aspect of you in quite a while.
-- Rillion
Peter Pepper -- Oh how I wish I were better than my record! -- Gelen
Thunder Road -- Um, that Deserter was tough! -- Gelen
Heron -- It is not Andorian, but it is also not a Delarq arena. I just did not want
you to get the impression that I or my teammates were planning on making a habit of
down challenging. -- Demetren
The Dark One -- Well if your replacements are as horrible as you say, there is no
wonder I have had the advantage in our early match ups. My team is with one
exception (anyone guess who?) composed of top quality warriors. -- Rillion
Aragorn -- It was good to meet you at the Face To Face. -- Rillion
Lou Cypher -- Yeah, yeah, I've heard it before. Bah, stuff like that. Not tonight,
okay? I'm too groggy. -- Loggerhead
P.S. Or something. Maybe hung over? Ate too much? Didn't get enough sleep? Who
can say? Besides me, of course. I can say, but it's too much trouble.
Torment -- Seen it before. Just about every two weeks, in fact. -- Heron
Idrial -- (blinking) A babe? What you doing here, babe? This is no place for you.
-- Peter Pepper
Lord, or as it might happen to be Lady Protector Sinner -- You don't want any lands
here. Trust me on this. -- Arenamistress Sugar
30 January 2006
We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to announce with glad hearts that Heathen

benefit to us all. Welcome Heathen; may all our enemies' blood continue to flow
freely! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
