SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of MURSKA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits always
around the corner! Witness how this week BATTLE FROGS went 4-1-0 to move up 3 in the
rankings. DA2 caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully
bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 21 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, BURGLAR FROG put down MEL, causing her to lose 14 points
of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.
All hail FURIOUS FROGPALER, 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! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in MURSKA these days is FOOT OF PRIDE. 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 FOOT OF PRIDE. Indeed it was SOUND. Loose talk at
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after DAYDREAM FROG. Watch your back!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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
Red & Foot of Pride -- I apologize for the down-challenge. It was not intentional,
rather it was a mix-up of who would challenge whom. I'm glad that you won since you
both fought well and resolved this mistake elegantly. It seems that you learned
rather well too! -- Trim, Mgr. of Sound
Mace Face Frog -- Great fight! It was long, but it was touch-and-go there for a
while. We were very well matched, maybe we could try it again sometime. I salute
you for an exciting fight. -- Timbre
Our congratulations to Free Cheese!! We'll be glad to see the last of that. Not our
preferred kind of cheese at all, that one. -- the Children of Llyr
Savage Beating -- You "luckily beat" me? I would not have phrased it so, dammit. --
Jock MacBeagh, aching all over
Actually, me and Shortfall Darbin, the Veteran Mercenary, get along just fine. We
spend our time cussing out the Commission clerk who keep insisting we're both
Shewish. As if! -- Finn Mac Karmek
P.S. Okay, I suppose it depends on your definition of "Shewish," but neither one of
us is even six feet tall! Shewish, maybe, giants, no.
Danny Boy -- Not a whole foot, maybe just a couple of inches, hmm? -- Dierdrie
If the Osksi Noble is really a dwarf, I'll... um. Well, I won't EAT him, as the
saying goes, but I *will* be surprised. -- Sean ap Kormak
No Turn -- Damn. -- Oisin
