SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RODEKI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. ADASHIR caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested FRANKENBUTT and was awarded 16 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ADASHIR put down
FRANKENBUTT, causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has THIRD BASE SPOCK in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and
this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half
of the old women in RODEKI 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 RODEKI. RODEKI, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is WAY OF THE SWORD A3, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding WAY OF THE SWORD A3. Indeed it was CLOWNING
AROUND. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the
knowledge that many fighters are after THE MOLE. Watch your back! A match that
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that BOB THE IMPALER posted a
TV challenge against the more highly recognized HANDSOME DOES. The results, you ask?
Well, the firebrand BOB THE IMPALER beat HANDSOME DOES. 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! 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!
The girls are as pretty in RODEKI as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! 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
