SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly NIATOLI ISLAND games. Former top team BIG LAKE
BANDITS was unseated this week as OBSIDIAN HALL moved up from 3rd ranking to take the
top spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round. I could not but notice the fine record
for WILLIAMSBURG MALITIA (5-0-0) after their first round of combat. May the gods of
war favor you in NIATOLI ISLAND! BLACKMOMBA caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BRUNHYLDA and was awarded 19 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BLACKMOMBA put down
BRUNHYLDA, causing her to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. Due to its
absence and inability to defend the throne, SSSINK! has lost the title of Duelmaster.
The city has turned out in honor of BENJYN BLAYDE, for with his arena victory he may
now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Heed this! A seer has warned
that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In NIATOLI ISLAND "art" is a word that
has long since passed from the language! NIATOLI ISLAND, city of gladiators! Mighty
among the names of thy guilds is DEMONSPAWN, a guild shunned and avoided by many in
the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed
to find any of BIG LAKE BANDITS last week. Busy avoiding DEMONSPAWN? Loose talk at
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after GENOVYFA. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the
games this week, it seems that LAURI THE TRAMP posted a challenge against the more
highly recognized GENOVYFA. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand LAURI THE
TRAMP was overcame by GENOVYFA. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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

GRUNG BEAR GRUNG BEAR GRUNG BEAR I will find you and I will get my challenge I
want you in the ground! Tell me FROTHINGSAUCE what were you thinking challenging a
war pig are you crazy that guy lives for war!!! And to think you could beat a Bandit
you're out of your mind this whole arena has gone crazy thinking they want to fight a
Bandit if I were y <cut off by hal?> -- XXX BANDITS
Spirit -- The rumors are true, the Allied Axis has planned to journey to a F2F once
again. We look forward to seeing the rest of you geeks, it will be a grand time. --
Den
Creamonspawn -- Did you enjoy how the Bonesnapper casually spit upon his naked fists,
took an offensive posture, calmly winked at Brock, and then began to physically beat
him literally to death with his bare hands? The sounds of Brock's face turning to
mush still makes me giggle deep into the evening, very deep. In fact, I cannot
recall a time when I have been more pleased, with the exception of that time I
watched the child tumble down the village well. -- Den, High Priest of the Allied
Axis and manager of the mighty Big Lake Bandits
Duelmasters Buffet -- Thanks for asking, but the Allied Axis is not currently
entertaining bringing more managers into our alliance, but good luck to you and your
curious team. -- Den
Papa Bear Claws -- I collect claws as well as hands. -- The Hand Collector
Angry Ex-Wife -- Hodar! -- Hodar
Obsidian Hall -- Are you ever going to graduate any of your dinosaurs? Have you
learned anything over the years? Please tell us why you are so pathetic, the arena
hopes to understand. -- Den
Niytyole Island -- It would appear that our mastery of this arena continues
unchecked, perhaps your jokes for warriors will offer a challenge at some point, but
perhaps the birds will fly in curious patterns, there is much to consider. So much I
could tell you about our gifted intellect, but it would fall upon ignorant ears and
not mean as much as the spoken word should. Come for me children and let me smother
you with my hate and anger, for this is how I rule. Feel the darkness slip beneath
your door, notice the chill that brings the unwanted shudder, and smell my fetid
breath on the nape of your neck, for the Allied Axis seeks naught but pain, sorrow,
and misery and this will be pulled from your very life. Step upon my sands and you
offer everything to me, and it is this which I will take. You are mine. - Den, High
Priest of the Allied Axis
