DM 65 DAL SHANG (turn 447): OCTAVIA of TIL DEATH DO US PART (Killjoy, mgr.) 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 CHILDREN OF LLYR for their 4-1-1 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! EVINDAL caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested MANDOLIN WIND and was awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, EVINDAL put down MANDOLIN WIND, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. Although KUNG-FU MASTER made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious MURSKAN PATRIOT. 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 MURSKA "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after MAIRE MCANGUS. Watch your back! For some warriors honor is not important--only empty victory. See, gladiators, how FROSTBITE of URBAN JUNGLE challenged down 22 points to TAMRA KAI. Few would not have guessed the outcome of the bout as TAMRA KAI was defeated by FROSTBITE. Is this what passes for courage in MURSKA? What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? 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 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EVINDAL 4040 15 24 0 82 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SLOWGO 4077 11 2 0 88 LOST CAUSE (268) -CIVIL 4053 12 10 1 84 LOST CAUSE (268) LUCY JORDAN 2669 10 20 0 74 URBAN JUNGLE (259) MANDOLIN WIND 3489 8 4 2 69 URBAN JUNGLE (259) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -PROMO 4057 11 6 0 66 LOST CAUSE (268) BRENDAL 4082 7 7 0 58 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) -BILBO 4106 5 2 0 57 LOST CAUSE (268) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HAREC O'KAI 4064 10 8 0 52 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FROSTBITE 4038 5 1 0 32 URBAN JUNGLE (259) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MAIRE MCANGUS 4105 5 4 1 26 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TAMRA KAI 4109 1 3 0 6 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

I'm a stay-at-home, out-of- the-jungle kind of guy. -- Evindal Frostbite -- Not a chance. Too bad, in a way. I don't want to be frostbitten, of course, but cool... that I could deal with. -- Tamra Kai Again the Fratsfa Slave. I do wonder about this. -- Brendal Lots of people wonder about it. Fratsfa slaves everywhere. Probably part of some exceedingly subtle plot. Bilbo -- Shouldn't you be shorter? -- Harec O'Kai Modranect -- A cool name in its mysteriousness, but I'd rather win the fight. -- Maire McAngus Our congratulations to Murskan Patriot. -- Jorja and the Children of Llyr Murskan Patriot -- Your loyalty is appreciated. However, since you are so devoted to the Murskan interests, you will realize that giving you some kind of "lands," of which you would necessarily be an absentee landlord, would not be in the best interest of the city-state. We salute your success and wish you well on the Isle. -- Arenamistress Sha'tyr LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS FROSTBITE devastated TAMRA KAI in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. MODRANECT was dispatched by MAIRE MCANGUS in a 2 minute Challenge battle. MURSKAN PATRIOT handily defeated KUNG-FU MASTER in a 1 minute one-sided match. LUCY JORDAN was outwaited by VETERAN MERCENARY in a crowd pleasing 7 minute brawl. MANDOLIN WIND was defeated by EVINDAL in a 2 minute Title match. HAREC O'KAI devastated THE USEROUS MERCHANT in a popular 1 minute uneven brawl. BRENDAL devastated FRATSFA SLAVE in a 1 minute mismatched match.
