SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of NIATOLI ISLAND! Know me for who I am, Zontani
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. My praise to STORM BRINGERS
for their 3-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round
deserving of notice! DIRTY HOWEL caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested THE MONGOL and was awarded 22 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DIRTY HOWEL put down THE
MONGOL, causing him to lose 22 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing
has KOBALT in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's
proven his combat skill yet again. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the
top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In NIATOLI ISLAND "art" is a word that
has long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to
beat in NIATOLI ISLAND these days is THE SEWING CIRCLE. At least, most blades in
town are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of STORM BRINGERS 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. DARK
JOURNEY take warning! You have more than a few enemies in NIATOLI ISLAND.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Many townsmen have begin to remark over the fact that after one
more round of duels THE SEWING CIRCLE's Bloodfeud against TOBY will have expired.
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 NIATOLI ISLAND 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
Gen. Girl Pants -- Look at that, we tied this turn. That certainly made you very
happy. -- Uncle Rake
Ranger -- No No No! Don't go to the Dark Arena! I need you to help pad my record.
-- Head Hunter
Sea Dogs -- You guys are beating me up. I'm gonna be forced to poke a hole in your
boat. -- Emissary for the Stormbringers
Head Hunter -- Huh, don't see why you want to do that. One head should be enough for
anybody, and you've already got that. -- Dirty Howel
A Capshured Orc? What the heck? -- Drunkard's Path
Zombiefied -- Damn. I think we need some teammates so I won't be the only loss on
the team. -- Lone Star
Talon Storm -- Well, I don't know about "fine," but she wasn't bad. Still, death
happens in the arena. Otherwise we might as well be playing tiddlywinks. -- Jorja
Our congratulations to The Mongol. -- Jorja and the Swewing Circle
The Mongol -- Why would you want lands? A nuisance, lands. Taxes, you know, and
then the Neighborhood Association turns up and wants to know why you aren't keeping
things in a better state. Lands are a burden. Go to the Isle and play poker all day
instead. -- Barango, Commission Agent
