SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ROCANIS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. A new guild, LOST SOULS, entered
ROCANIS with a clash this turn, showing off a 4-1-2 record. Indeed, a worthy
addition to the city guilds. TARANTELLA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested MAGE'S APPRENTICE and was awarded 20 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ROTTEN CORE put down
PRONGHRON, causing her to lose 8 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 HEDGEHOG herself. This time out MECHANISM made his bid for the
throne as he challenged HEDGEHOG in an all out contest of skill for possession of the
title! Although MECHANISM made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the
reign of victorious HEDGEHOG. Would you believe that over half of the old women in
ROCANIS seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. REDHORSE is feared. This much I
can say. Apparently the stalwarts of TOOLS OF TORMENT are catching the bulk of jests
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. MACHINE must
really be harboring a grudge against the BAD APPLES guild! Merciless, 18 challenged
down BITTER VETCH points this week to duel with he. The weight of the challenge fell
hard upon BITTER VETCH and predictably he was overcame by MACHINE. This is how to
arouse the anger of an entire guild!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? 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!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ROCANIS. 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Mechanism -- Oh, sure, you can WIN, but it's so mechanical. -- Bitter Vetch
Pronghorn -- Bah, you're an idiot. Otherwise you'd have taught me more than a single
skill. -- Privet
Yul -- People without hair look weird. I hate that. Weird is Bad. -- Large Dog
Eats Grass -- That's why you're turning green, right? -- Pieface
The Mage's Apprentice has no skills at all. -- Rotten Core

I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.

P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
