And the cycle has passed, the last one was great for the Inconsistent Fury at 5-0, always a fun turn. Big huge smiles it was also the first turn in many that the arena champ actually defended the title! Yeah me! Alrighty then enough of all that honoring of self--and on to the contests. Best of luck to all unless of course it's against the Inconsistent Fury! Fonzeth Hilgra SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly ROCANIS games. ABELINDA CHASE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested AMBITIOUS GUARD and was awarded 7 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KUNG-FU MASTER put down BALZEC, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, and FONZETH HILGRA has made the way for a new Duelmaster! With FONZETH HILGRA clearing the throne, INCONSISTENT FURY of AIRSLICER DAN takes a proud seat as ROCANIS' new Duelmaster, by virtue of recognition points. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps? Many and various are the arts of battle. In ROCANIS "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. THEM is feared. This much I can say. Apparently the stalwarts of INCONSISTENT FURY are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. For some warriors honor is not important--only empty victory. See, gladiators, how AIRSLICER DAN of INCONSISTENT FURY challenged down 32 points to EBRIA GANNET. Few would not have guessed the outcome of the bout as EBRIA GANNET was overcame by AIRSLICER DAN. Is this what passes for courage in ROCANIS? What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! The girls are as pretty in ROCANIS as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

Well, I don't grudge you that, just see to it that you don't slice ME. -- Ebria Gannet Purple Kitten -- Somehow I'm not surprised, either at the encounter or the outcome. Darned Small Arena Syndrome. -- Frem Harid Ria Rosedancer -- You and me, babe, all the time. Let's go out tonight and knock all the guys out of their socks. -- Abelinda Chase What's the deal with this Mage's Apprentice? I'd say he was the most useless thing in pants I'd ever seen, but he doesn't even wear pants, just a kind of long dress. Weird dude. -- Debra Farin Yes, but he comes cheap, and the arena budget isn't huge. So why should we have it in for the Trocaran Deserter? This isn't Trocar, we should be rewarding him or something. -- Erbin Goetz P.S. Cool! The Commission says I'm MASSIVELY charismatic. I like that. Fonzeth Hilgra -- It would serve you right if I DID haunt you. I bet I could do a good job of it. -- Ghost of Dililah Frann Rirorni Assassin -- You didn't look as sharp as ya did a week or so ago, ya must have been keeping some late hours or sumthing. -- Fonzethand Balzec Ebria Gannet -- Sorry bout the DC, but well there ain't any up challenges to be had, I understand we be at it again. Buy me a drink. -- Airslicer Dan Frem Harid -- You're pretty quick, I don't like hospitals either, too much sitting and waiting and billing. *shudder* -- Purple Kitten Abelinda Chase -- I had a great time at the dance, but the Boss says us gals dancing together has to stop. I don't want to though. *smiles* -- Ria Rosedancer LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS AIRSLICER DAN devastated EBRIA GANNET in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge Title fight.
