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 TEABAG@CINCY 21.1 went 1-0-0 to move up 3
in the rankings. IN SECRET caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
he skillfully bested THE USEROUS MERCHANT and was awarded 15 points in recognition.
In one of the week's more notable duels, SKARP-HEDIN put down AGAIN AND AGAIN,
causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Due to its absence and
inability to defend the throne, 12 STONES has lost the title of Duelmaster. This
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail SKARP-HEDIN, Duelmaster of
ILLIS! 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. ILLIS, city of gladiators! Mighty
among the names of thy guilds is HANGOVERS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in
the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of ISLE OF SKYE 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. AGAIN AND AGAIN take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in ILLIS.
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! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
