SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ILLIS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. BOA caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested TIKI and was awarded 22 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SKINT EYE put down BILLY THE
KID, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. Cold and lifeless,
former Duelmaster TORTY will fight no more! HEATH BAR has slain her! 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. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. ISLANDERS is feared. This much I
can say. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding ISLANDERS. Indeed it was BEATRICE. Loose talk at
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after BAST. Watch your back!
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!
The girls are as pretty in ILLIS as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! 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

Elder Gods -- Sorry about that. -- Heath Bar
Boa -- You are suffocating me! -- Baby Ruth
Fishhook -- I guess if I was facing a guy with 2 kills on his record, I'd try really
hard to win too. -- Human Pretzel
Pearl -- It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, ma'am. It's been mostly NPCs for
us lately... Nice to see a pretty face in the crowd. -- Sundance Kid
Two-three but nobody was killed or died. One standby, though we wouldn't have MINDED
more. Or killed them, either. Truly, Tiki was just upset last month. It was the
weather. S/he doesn't "do" cold weather. -- Fishhook

JASPER GULCH: DM 85
Zeb Karan around the big table. Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and
stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and
infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like
this, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
"So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they
closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?"
"Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary.
There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're
too full of team records."
"Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested.
Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the
arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave.
"We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested.
"We can't burn RECORDS."
"I could," Rinvar said.
"But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its
own sake, Jame."
Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew."
"When are they shutting down Blackstone?"
"To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers
want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel
from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this
week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can
recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of
enquiry around the room.
"Jasper Gulch," a steward said.
"Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably
'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be
transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT."
Voth nodded. "We can work with this."
"Beats not working."
