SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly SNOWBOUND games. UNIQUE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested HELGA ICELAND and was awarded 27
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, JANICE KOLE put down
OSTINATO, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Although TRILL
made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious OFF
SEASON. 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!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city SNOWBOUND. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in SNOWBOUND
these days is DARQUE THEORY. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid
them. Apparently the stalwarts of BASH BROS SPORTS are catching the bulk of jests
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. HELGA ICELAND take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in SNOWBOUND.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I must report the passing of HELGA ICELAND,
veteran of many duels. 20-32-0 final record Hers was not illustrious--but death
plays no favorites. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in SNOWBOUND. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can
I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! 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
Here these are, after an unscheduled absence. Life here has been strange lately, not
in a good way. Can I blame the polar vortex? I was completely confused as to which
slow arena was running now, actually started writing personals for Trocar.
And I have to say, the climate down there was a lot more tempting. Plus the
gladiators on my teams, I won't call them 'warriors', have dropped every ball they had
and been losing to standbys! It would serve them right if I sent the lot of 'em to
the Dark Arena, but that's more work than I want to do today. A month from now, I may
feel more forgiving. -- Jorja
Okay, I did lose to the venomous concubine, but I learned three skills, which should
help balance it. -- Janice Kole, not going to the Dark Arena, it's cold there
And I lost to the assassin. So what? I was worrying about the monsters supposedly
attacking Snowbound. True, *I* haven't seen any monsters, but who knows? I'm going
to watch for 'em. -- Viola Wing
Okay, I defeated my standby. That should help redeem the team here, right? -- Helga
Iceland
Helga -- Don't push your luck. -- Jorja
Sandor -- That was low, trying to make me into reese's pieces. -- Perry Reese, not
going to be a chocolate peanutbutter cup
