SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ARDIVENT games. Former top team DUNGEON CELL was
unseated this week as FANDILS moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot with a
4-0-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week FANDILS went 4-0-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. In
one of the week's more notable duels, CANTEX put down CARLSEN, causing him to lose 4
points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of BAERUS,
for with his arena victory he 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 ARDIVENT. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. WE GOT GAME is feared. This much I can say. Methinks more
than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week
avoiding WE GOT GAME. Indeed it was FANDILS. I can not but mention with disdain the
name of ALEKHINE who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 8 points below
in the rankings. I thought ALEKHINE showed great skill and promise when he was
dispatched by HEADSMAN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? I must report the passing of ALEKHINE, veteran of many duels.
7-5-2 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. 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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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
