SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly MURSKA games. NUADH AP GWAIR caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PERSISTENT BEGGAR and was awarded 15 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, THE USEROUS MERCHANT put down MICHTER, causing him to lose 5 points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail RABEL, Duelmaster of MURSKA! Would you believe that over half of the old women in MURSKA seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? Many and various are the arts of battle. In MURSKA "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! MURSKA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is URBAN JUNGLE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of ON THE ROCKS 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. KAILIE RHINN take warning! You have more than a few enemies in MURSKA. As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of fear lays hold of his heart. True, LORD SNOW? Who could miss your "brave" challenge of KAILIE RHINN? The Fates are not kind to the cowardly, as evidenced by the fact that LORD SNOW was subdued by KAILIE RHINN. And who can now doubt that KAILIE RHINN is a hardy opponent? BRACKLA must really be harboring a grudge against the CHILDREN OF LLYR guild! Merciless, 18 challenged down KELLY GALL points this week to duel with she. All the city knows the duel went in favor of BRACKLA. I shall not fail to spread the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory. Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Walk proud, warriors of CHILDREN OF LLYR! By striking down SKADI you have avenged the honor of your dead. Your virtue is known to all in MURSKA. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.
