SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of MURSKA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. A new guild, REALLY?, entered MURSKA with
a clash this turn, showing off a 3-1-0 record. Indeed, a worthy addition to the city
guilds. MONKEY MAN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested MICHTER and was awarded 22 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, MONKEY MAN put down MICHTER, causing him to lose 13 points
of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.
All hail FROZEN IMAGE, 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?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city MURSKA. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in MURSKA these
days is URBAN JUNGLE. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.
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. Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after KELLY
GALL. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week,
it seems that LORD SNOW posted a challenge against the more highly recognized KAILIE
RHINN. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand LORD SNOW was beat by KAILIE
RHINN. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I must report the passing of TARRAN O'HAREC,
veteran of many duels. 15-12-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays
no favorites. 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!
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! 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. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Lord Snow -- So. Revenge. Well, maybe not "revenge," that sounds so hostile and
negative. Just vengeance. Yeah, that's better. Just deserts. Or... desserts, hmm,
I wonder if there's any ice cream around? -- Kailie Rhinn
Brackla -- I'd've been fine if you'd lost. I wouldn't have minded bearing the burden
of victory for a turn. You might want to think about that. -- Kelly Gall
Skadi -- Or is it you we're taking due vengeance on? You guys all look alike some
days, and with that record of kills, SOMEBODY better take you down. Ah, good fight.
-- Tarran O'Harec
Lord Snow -- Oh, darn, Tarran is right! We didn't owe YOU vegeance at this point,
so, um, just consider it a delightful victory for me instead of vengeance, okay? --
Kailie Rhinn
Noel -- Dammit, don't DO that. -- Madon ap Llew
This Beggar's a bit of a helpless fool, isn't he? -- Nuadh ap Gwair
