Loony, old friend, it's okay to ask for mercy. I won't take it as an invitation to drown you in the bathtub. Honest! Culann Coontz SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of MURSKA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team CHILDREN OF LLYR was unseated this week as PHILANTHROPISTS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round. DRENDAN O'KAI caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested LAELAMESTO and was awarded 17 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VEXED VIKING put down BILDIS, causing him to lose 14 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 CULANN COONTZ himself. Although JUNGLE KING made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious CULANN COONTZ. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in MURSKA these days is PHILANTHROPISTS 2. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding PHILANTHROPISTS 2. Indeed it was LORD OF MORIA. Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! The girls are as pretty in MURSKA 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 next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.
