SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TRICORUS games. Former top team RAISING R'LYEH was
unseated this week as DEATH CULT moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot with
a 4-1-0 record for the round. WO TIGER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as she skillfully bested HABU and was awarded 19 points in recognition.
In one of the week's more notable duels, WO TIGER put down HABU, causing it to lose
12 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend
the throne, OF SEA AND WIND has lost the title of Duelmaster. The city has turned
out in honor of BEAST, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest
position in the city! Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he
never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TRICORUS. TRICORUS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is QUESTIONS, 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 QUESTIONS. Indeed it was AMAZON ELITE. Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after URSULAH. Watch your back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? I must report the passing of RYOKO, veteran of many duels. 4-6-0
final record Hers was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. Must the
anguished spirit of SAARVEGHAL toss forever in the grave unrevenged? Against the
code, OF SEA AND WIND has escaped his deed unpunished by DARK HORSEMEN! Walk proud,
warriors of DEATH CULT! By striking down GALDOR O'HARE you have avenged the honor of
your dead. Your virtue is known to all in TRICORUS. 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 TRICORUS. 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
Y'ha-nthlei -- Time to die, mortal. -- Beast
Galdor -- Demagogue was a bit of a loudmouth anyway. Still, it's my duty to avenge
him, and I look forward to it. Another sacrifice? -- Priestess
Kamildsa -- Don't give up... I'm not done questioning you... -- Inquisitor
The Reaper -- No surprises there. Hurry up and get your guys two more fights each.
Let's clear the ranks and let other people get PPs. -- Assur
Amazons -- You want a piece of me?!? Well, I'm just going to sit in the sun for a
week and get nice and ripe. And maybe I'll throw myself around a basketball court
for a few hours after that. Oh yeah! I'm going to make myself as unappealing as
possible, so that NOBODY will want anything to do with me! People will wish I was
sour again. -- Grapefruit
Sadly, Tricorus has no answers when it comes to the recent tournament.
Nyarlathotep -- You know, I always thought of you as a guy. Which may be why I lose.
-- Mahaghal
Dark Priestess -- Nasty-tempered wench. -- Marganad
Demagogue -- I don't believe a word you say. -- Galdor O'Hare
P.S. And I didn't mean to kill you, but these things happen.
What -- Darned if I know. -- Jubhal
Iquisitor -- Always with the questions! What about answers? -- Kamildsa
Amazon Elite -- I have one question for you, which I ask purely to satisfy my
curiosity and out of no malice, and it is: Given your attitude toward down-
challenges, why do you not run in any of the Andorian arenas? I have seen you here
and in Sunset, both Delarquan arenas where down-challenges are considered acceptable,
and Willaf and Lapur, both Free Blades arenas where down-challenges are not a
surprise though less common. But not in any Andorian arena, where you would find
your fellow managers sharing your views. Seriously, do you LIKE beating your head
against a stone wall? -- Jorja, puzzled manager of Dark Horsemen
Assur -- I wouldn't be surprised to find a DA character with the name Dark Priestess,
but not here. Saarmighei would've been okay if she'd lasted, but that's the way it
goes. -- Jorja
Answer of the week: Darned if I know!
