SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly MURSKA games. COLLEEN caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested THE CHROME HORSE and was awarded 14
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, COLLEEN put down THE
CHROME HORSE, causing him to lose 5 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has A MAN in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week
he's proven his combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion have
told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
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 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 VAR'S FAV BARS. Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. TURNING BACK take warning! You have
more than a few enemies in MURSKA.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Well! Three-two, and only one standby in the mix. Palug got another win, really,
they SHOULD have drowned him as a cub. It might have been POSSIBLE then. Colleen
FIXED that drink, and a good thing. Tommy got the standby. Eh. And I am reminded
again that I should have listened to my wife when she told me I couldn't go home
again. -- Oisin
