SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. 5 GOLDEN WARRIORS caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested JERI TAVAN and was
awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, RUNE
HELLFIRE put down RAGOLAS, causing him to lose 17 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. 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 DAL SHANG. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those
below. GOBARL take warning! You have more than a few enemies in DAL SHANG. At the
gambling halls I have started to bet money on VIRGINIA, NO SANTA. He has got the
courage it takes. Witness his challenge this turn against GOBARL! 3 points of newly
earned recognition and a dose of my admiration is what VIRGINIA, NO SANTA must now
weigh against the defeat which resulted.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Some guilds are strict but few are as
heartless as POSSE. Witness, last turn they sent BRUTUS, a 2-0-0 fighter, to the
Dark Arena! 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? 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
