SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly VALAMANTIS games. Former top team ALL ABOUT BASHERS
was unseated this week as RANDOM SITH moved up from 5th ranking to take the top spot
with a 5-0-0 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon ALL ABOUT BASHERS this
time out who this turn suffered a fall into 5th position in the wake of a 0-0-0
round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how
this week RANDOM SITH went 5-0-0 to move up 4 in the rankings. My praise to MIDDLE
WAY 10 for their 3-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round
deserving of notice! DARTH NIKILUS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested RED and was awarded 17 points in recognition. In
one of the week's more notable duels, DARTH NIKILUS put down RED, causing him to lose
15 points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of SIR
KEVIN, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the
city! 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!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city VALAMANTIS. VALAMANTIS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of
thy guilds is BLOOD KNIGHTS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Apparently the stalwarts of EVIL DEATH DUDES are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena
has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
GABRELLA IMBRO. Watch your back! At the gambling halls I have started to bet money
on SIR WILLIAM. He has got the courage it takes. Witness his challenge this turn
against DARTH SCION! To be sure the battle was a losing one. But I like to think
SIR WILLIAM at least gave DARTH SCION a run for his money.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. My hearty congratulations DARTH SCION,
for thy revenge upon SIR WILLIAM, slayer of thy fallen comrade. Next time he will
know better, eh? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Sir Kevin -- When the fight was announced, I was surprised. I didn't think dwarves
did the knights-and-chivalry thing. And then we fought, and sure enough, dwarves
don't do the chivalry thing, even when they call themselves knights! You could at
least have taught me something! -- Bali Darras
P.S. Other than to avoid you.
Grim Reaper -- (wincing while examining way too many injuries) I suppose I should be
glad you didn't "harvest" me? Ouch, ouch! -- Erfin Goram
P.S. The injury to my pride was the worst.
P.P.S. If you see my "secret admirer" anywhere, dagnabit, send her in. What's the
good of a secret admirer in the bush? I'd rather have one in the hand.
The Smiter -- You Evil Death Dude! You've slain me! (reeling around clutching at
the site of his former face) You heartless bloodluster-- (aside) Oh, that explains
it. Lacking a heart yourself, you want to take MINE. It will do you NO GOOD, for I
am a secret arsenic-eater, and even as you eat my heart, drink my blood, or whatever
your foul practice, you will be POISONING yourself! So there! -- Ghost of Fronk
Hurrace
Sir William -- Hmm, haven't I seen you hanging around some fountain (the Dairy
Princess?) wearing black armor and challenging everyone who comes in for a milkshake
to a duel? Because you sure look familiar. Something in the way you curl your lip
in scorn, you know? That's really well done. -- Gabrella Imbro
Sir Paul -- Ah, thanks! With a little luck on the next match, I may actually have a
winning record! What a rush that would be. I will be the envy of my teammates, and
I can make sure THEY do the dishes. -- Donetta Faldour
Lady Katy -- Thanks to my change in status, it is now possible for me to watch my
back (not that it's doing anything interesting). -- Ghost of Fronk Hurrace
Squire -- You're welcome. -- the Scribe
P.S. And it is low down, isn't it? Disappointing.
