SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of STORMCROWE! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team ANTISOCIALS was
unseated this week as OF WOLF & GIANT moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 2-3-0 record for the round. My praise to AVID FANS for their 3-1-0 week this
time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! GATE KEEPER
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested
DENNORUS and was awarded 11 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable
duels, GATE KEEPER put down DENNORUS, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in
the process. As is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards
this week was none other than Duelmaster THE VEAL DEAL himself. Who here was not
present for the title fight this week as BRAWLIPOP boldly challenged THE VEAL DEAL in
order to strive for the Duelmasters honors? The city has turned out in honor of
BRAWLIPOP, for with hers arena victory she 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 STORMCROWE. STORMCROWE, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of
thy guilds is DEAD SILENCE, 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 DEAD SILENCE. Indeed it was AVID FANS. I can not but mention
with disdain the name of KEY MASTER who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a
full 13 points below in the rankings. I thought KEY MASTER showed great skill and
promise when he subdued WEKRUS. 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! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! 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
