SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ROCANIS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week TREXTRAS went 3-0-0 to move up 4 in
the rankings. GASTON IPPS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
he skillfully bested SNAKE BITE and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, GASTON IPPS put down SNAKE BITE, causing it to lose 16
points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of SFC 1, 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!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ROCANIS "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in ROCANIS these days is SERPENTS' HOLD. At least, most blades in town are looking
to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of TREXTRAS 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. FERRIA HOUGH take warning! You have
more than a few enemies in ROCANIS. I can not but mention with disdain the name of
SERGEANT 3 who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 8 points below in the
rankings. I thought SERGEANT 3 showed great skill and promise when he defeated
HOUSTON FARMER. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. This week marked the last days of
MEECHAM who at 14-6-1 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of MEN OF
STEEL's demanding management. Was I the only one shocked to see the well respected
fighter MEECHAM (14-6-1) appear on the sands of the Dark Arena? He is now dead.
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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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

Our congratulations to Meecham. -- Jorja and those who walk the Middle Way
Howlin' Wolf -- I'm not sure if I should congratulate or condole you on Genius
Awesome's tourney performance. Whichever you deem appropriate, consider it offered
with sincerity. -- Jorja
Oh, cheese LOUISE! I give away a dirty little secret, about the handicapper trying
to keep me low in the ranks, and he retaliates by making sure we ALL lose this time.
An oh-fer turn doesn't bear talking about. Although they were, at least, all losses
to real gladiators. Gee, that makes me feel so GOOD about it. -- Gaston Ipps
