DM 62 VALAMANTIS (turn 539): IMROM LLEWS of MIDDLE WAY 10 (Jorja, mgr.) SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of TRICORUS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team VENTURE BROS. was unseated this week as PANSY DIVISION moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 1-0-0 record for the round. GALDOR O'HARE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SGT. HATRED and was awarded 22 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SALMGEDAN put down DR. ORPHEUS, causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has MANNY LEHMAN in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. 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! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! Perhaps even the strong cannot escape the vagaries of this world. This week arena veteran SGT. HATRED was slain, despite a 17-11-0 record. This week's duel proved deadly to SGT. HATRED as he fell to the more renowned warrior, GALDOR O'HARE. How will VENTURE BROS. find revenge? 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? 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 we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MANNY LEHMAN 5074 16 14 1 126 PANSY DIVISION (443) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GALDOR O'HARE 5524 22 36 2 127 DARK HORSEMEN (433) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WINDSONG 5592 19 17 0 90 DARK HORSEMEN (433) QUIZBOY 5614 16 7 0 88 VENTURE BROS.
