SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RODEKI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. FOUR OF SPADES caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ROCKJAW and was awarded 22 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SU-CHI put down KANGAROO
LIFEBOAT, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. Due to his
absence and inability to defend the throne, OSTMAN has lost the title of Duelmaster.
The city has turned out in honor of FRANKENBUTT, for with his arena victory he may
now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Heed this! A seer has warned
that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in RODEKI these days is COLOR ME SUAVE. 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 COLOR ME SUAVE. Indeed it was WIND
STORM. 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! I can not but mention with
disdain the name of RED SKELTON who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full
10 points below in the rankings. I thought RED SKELTON showed great skill and
promise when he was defeated by THE MOLE. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
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: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise
are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Rodeki -- It seems I'll be able to do a turn possibly every 2-3 turns, if finances
hold out. If money improves, maybe a tad more than that. -- Lord Xiang
The Mole -- Awww, I'm not THAT bad. (in a small voice) Am I? -- Su-chi
Handsome Does -- Like The Mole isn't a dwarf, I'm not an orc! Okay, I may not be
pretty, like you, but I'm NOT PORK!!! -- Northern Paladin
Adashir -- Listen, I don't BELIEVE in higher purposes, see? None. Most purposes are
LOWER, and any orc worthy of the name KNOWS that. So give it all up and sink to your
true level. -- La Chiselle
P.S. Although challenge was a good step in the right direction. Very Delarquan.
Frankenbutt -- Gods, that's ugly! -- The Mole
Four of Spades -- It isn't so suave when I've got the five, is it? Ha! -- Fredibar
Jockstrap Jones -- I was going to make a comment about your name and your orcness,
but Nick said it wouldn't get past Ed. So I'm leaving it to your imagination. --
Rockjaw
P.S. 'Course, a lot depends on where you keep your imagination, doesn't it?
Areris -- Yeah, well, I don't LIKE the way your sword goes. I want it to go the
OTHER way next time. -- Handsome Does
Northern Paladin -- (growl) -- Handsome Does
Su-Chi -- I have a bottomless well of desperation. -- The Mole
Keldon Warlord -- Then you haven't looked very hard. There are wars everywhere.
Just, most of them haven't been declared formally. But they ARE being fought. -- La
Chiselle
5 November 2005
It is with a proud heart that I announce the newest member of the Desolate Empire
alliance. Dok Sik will be known from here forth as Dark Knight Dok Sik, of the
Desolate Empire. May he be blessed with victory and courage. May his enemies' blood
flow freely! -- The Dark Knights Wasby and Toker
