It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly DAL SHANG games. MY TWO FRONT TEETH caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested NORMAR THE BLOND and was awarded 9 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SWEET ANELLA put down GOBARL, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has BACKLASH in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps? I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. 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 DAL SHANG as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BACKLASH 6518 14 3 1 123 TOO GOOD FOR ME (600) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TEBAS TEN KOGAN 6598 13 10 0 88 SAND DANCERS (233) DAKORIL 6596 16 9 1 85 REFUGEES (377) GOBARL 6604 11 10 0 72 REFUGEES (377) KO LAO-DEN 6614 10 4 1 70 SAND DANCERS (233) JERI TAVAN 6615 10 4 0 69 SAND DANCERS (233) KASSAL TEN DRU 6608 10 6 0 67 SAND DANCERS (233) RAGOLAS 6607 8 11 2 67 REFUGEES (377) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DANNAL TEN VARN 6621 6 0 1 52 SAND DANCERS (233) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME 5 GOLDEN WARRIORS 6624 2 0 1 28 GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS (717) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RED RYDER 6626 2 0 0 23 GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS (717) VIRGINIA, NO SANTA 6623 2 0 0 22 GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS (717) LUMP COAL 6625 2 0 1 18 GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS (717) MY TWO FRONT TEETH 6622 2 0 0 17 GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS (717) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

I will endeavor to haunt you for the next little while, so don't go too far away. 27 June 2005 ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE: For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them), you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance, Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever- more-complicated lists 29 Jun 2005 The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
