SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly XOCHITHLAN games. Former top team DARQUE ANGELS was
unseated this week as BASH BROS BABY moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-0-1 record for the round. Did only my eyes note the 3-0-1 record which BASH
BROS BABY managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw
challengers! LOUD TOYS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested LONG-RANGE ARCHERS and was awarded 15 points in recognition. In
one of the week's more notable duels, CHAOS 101 put down DAISY, causing her to lose 4
points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of SOVEREIGN,
for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!
No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position
using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city XOCHITHLAN. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in
XOCHITHLAN these days is DUCKS UNLIMITED. 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 DUCKS UNLIMITED. Indeed it was CHAOS WARRIORS.
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. DOESN'T SLEEP take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in XOCHITHLAN. A match that raised a few
eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that CWM posted a challenge against the
more highly recognized WOVERN YANSY. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand CWM
beat WOVERN YANSY. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Strange what qualities come forth in the face of certain doom.
DOESN'T SLEEP has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena victory! Walk
proud, warriors of CHAOS WARRIORS! By striking down KOKABIEL you have avenged the
honor of your dead. Your virtue is known to all in XOCHITHLAN. 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? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Poops Through Diaper -- I was hoping your stenct and demeanor would disgust the fans.
-- Swan
Somebody threw the Bash Bros Baby to a Swamp Troll just because it was Oozing Drool?
That's... cold. Of course, it's winter.
We salute the participants in the two most recent tourneys. Anything to get out of
town for a weekend, eh? -- Jorja and those who walk the Middle Way
Four-one and no standbys. The age of miracles returns. Amazing. -- Salome Torene
P.S. I thought of doing a column, or even a few short lines, but, as usual, Jorja
waited until the last minute, nearly, to get us to do this stuff. Some days, even
when you win, you don't win.
Scrooge McDuck -- Ha! And I say again, HA! -- Horvanth Irnde
Peking Duck -- And when I finally GOT my dinner, it was COLD. -- Bettina Chim
Sovereign -- Damn straight I was vicious, I *felt* vicious. I dislike fighting in
cold weather. I dislike it a LOT. -- Salome Torene
Howard the Duck -- Believe it. -- Ulrik Venn
P.S. It may not happen AGAIN, but believe it today.
Cwm -- That makes my day. Heck, it makes the whole year for me, nearly. -- Wovern
Yansy, easily pleased
Assur -- How often are Mail-In Tournaments run? Ware are the due dates (if known)?
-- Spectre
