SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly STORMCROWE games. AURORA MARIE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested CAER SALAD and was awarded 29 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, AURORA MARIE put down CAER SALAD, causing him to lose 36 points of recognition in the process. Although A TALENT SCOUT made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious ROSELYN. 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! Many and various are the arts of battle. In STORMCROWE "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. SEAL DANCER take warning! You have more than a few enemies in STORMCROWE. Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Walk proud, warriors of DARQUE FORCES! By striking down SEAL DANCER you have avenged the honor of your dead. Your virtue is known to all in STORMCROWE. 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! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in STORMCROWE. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ROSELYN 4498 38 7 0 156 DARQUE FORCES (428) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THE JANITOR 2545 13 12 1 109 AVID FANS (65) A TALENT SCOUT 3950 14 7 1 106 AVID FANS (65) AURORA MARIE 4648 17 21 0 98 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LAPUR BISQUE 4676 7 1 1 90 SHEWISH BUFFET (520) -COLOUR COMMENTATOR 3951 11 7 1 89 AVID FANS (65) ERMINE 4712 7 5 0 86 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) THE STATISTICIAN 2309 19 21 0 85 AVID FANS (65) CAER SALAD 4677 8 3 2 74 SHEWISH BUFFET (520) GLITRINA 4656 16 16 1 69 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THE WINTER QUEEN 4672 13 7 0 66 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) BENEZIA 4670 11 12 1 66 DARQUE FORCES (428) BELLDANDY 4714 7 2 1 66 DARQUE FORCES (428) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SEAL DANCER 4686 9 9 1 37 NORTHERN LIGHTS (393) PULLED ORC 4702 5 5 0 37 SHEWISH BUFFET (520) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AN ARENA DOCTOR 4175 3 4 0 17 AVID FANS (65) -EAGLE 4730 1 0 0 16 WILD THINGS 2 (526) RAINBOW BITE 4740 1 0 0 16 DARQUE FORCES (428) FAIRY PAINFUL 4739 1 0 0 5 DARQUE FORCES (428) ANGEL CAKE 4737 0 1 0 1 SHEWISH BUFFET (520) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Please be kind to Angel Cake. -- One Armed Bandit The Ghost of Rikku -- Sorry about that. I'm usually only lethal to anchovies. -- Caer Salad Three-two-one? Sounds like some kind of math problem. Lapur Bisque -- I feel... a little queasy. I think maybe I ate too much. Or... it was so hot this past week, could it have spoiled? -- Aurora Marie Pulled Orc -- Silly boy! Challenge someone else. And leave off the tomatoes. Truly, they do not become you. -- The Winter Queen Ghost of Antigone -- That was unintentional, but at least it spared you having to kill yourself. -- Seal Dancer LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS SNACK was butchered by BANDIT PRINCE in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
