SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ILLIS games. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GREYHOUND and was awarded
26 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, IT'S NOT A
PROBLEM put down GREYHOUND, causing it to lose 21 points of recognition in the
process. Who here was not present for the title fight this week as SKARP-HEDIN
boldly challenged NEW RIFF in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors? Not for
nothing has NEW RIFF in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week
it's proven its combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion have
told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ILLIS. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ILLIS these
days is ISLE OF SKYE. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding ISLE OF SKYE. Indeed it was BASHAHOLICS ANON. Loose talk at
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after TOM BLIGH. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the
games this week, it seems that JAR OF CLAY posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized TOM BLIGH. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand JAR OF CLAY was
subdued by TOM BLIGH. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in ILLIS 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. Zontani
