SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly RODEKI games. ISENGALEN caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested VEAL MARSALA and was awarded 12
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ISENGALEN put down
VEAL MARSALA, causing him to lose 6 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has NO LIMIT HOLD-EM in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and
this week it's proven its 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!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In RODEKI "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when
this week's challenge seeking began. DELVERS is feared. This much I can say. If
you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of VENETIAN
CINQUE last week. Busy avoiding DELVERS? Loose talk at the arena has reached my
ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after ISENGALEN. Watch
your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that
NO PAIR posted a challenge against the more highly recognized KARMIC KUDZU. The
results, you ask? Well, the firebrand NO PAIR bested KARMIC KUDZU. 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! My sources at DELVERS stable claim they've never
seen the guild bitterer. This as a result of the untimely demise of INGRETTE.
Beware DANGEROUS CRIMINAL! 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 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

PERSONAL ADS
Please allow me to introduce myself.
I am a man of swords and pain.
I've been gone for a long, long time.
But now I'm back, to your disdain.
I was there when the Dark Circle ruled these lands,
And put you all to shame.
I'm so.... pleased to meet you.
Hope you recall my name.
Why, have you forgotten it? Do we get a clue?
Veal Chop -- Thanks, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with that pud. -- The Dealer
Low, very low? BORN TO SCUM? NO! Say it isn't SO! -- Isengalen
Two losses to managed gladiators, three wins over standbys, this is so typical! I
suppose I should be glad the standbys didn't beat them up. -- Harby, Delvers,
brooding
