SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of MURSKA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. My praise to FLIPPERS ARCADE for their
4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of
notice! JUNGLE KING caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested DALLOW and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, OH OHLISH OMINAH put down CADAL COONTZ, causing him to
lose 4 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has LOCO 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 MURSKA "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when
this week's challenge seeking began. BUSY, BUSYTOWN 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
PHILANTHROPISTS 3 last week. Busy avoiding BUSY, BUSYTOWN? Loose talk at the arena
has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
PADDY. Watch your back! Give NI credit for his courage. Did you note how he
challenged MR. FIXIT despite the 31 point difference in their rankings? 3 points of
newly earned recognition and a dose of my admiration is what NI must now weigh
against the defeat which resulted.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and
assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in MURSKA. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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
