SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ILLIS! 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 ISLE OF SKYE went 3-1-0 to move up 3 in the
rankings. ZAK STORM caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested AGAIN AND AGAIN and was awarded 26 points in recognition. In one
of the week's more notable duels, BOBBING CORPSE put down PURPLE HAZE, causing it to
lose 20 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the fights this week,
the spotlight was on STARFISH as he bore arms against the challenge of reigning
Duelmaster 12 STONES. Although STARFISH made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to
topple the reign of victorious 12 STONES. No confirmation, but my sources claim that
the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ILLIS. ILLIS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds
is BASHAHOLICS ANON, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding BASHAHOLICS ANON. Indeed it was CHAPEL ROCK. Loose talk at
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after STARFISH. Watch your back! At the gambling halls I have started to bet
money on FALSE IDOL. It has got the courage it takes. Witness its challenge this
turn against SUPPORT GROUP! 4 points of newly earned recognition and a dose of my
admiration is what FALSE IDOL must now weigh against the defeat which resulted. I
can not but mention with disdain the name of SKARP-HEDIN who this week posted a
challenge to a warrior a full 8 points below in the rankings. I thought SKARP-HEDIN
showed great skill and promise when he won victory over MOSCOW MULE. All right, so I
slept through it! Big deal!
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 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
