I'm a little surprised you lost this one, Better Duck. The weather's right up your creek, and I don't like wading at all. Joevina Saril SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team SAND DANCERS was unseated this week as MIGHTY DUCKS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 2-3-0 record for the round. GOOPHYS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DOOMED DUCK and was awarded 21 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, GOOPHYS put down DOOMED DUCK, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail DUCK KA-BOB, Duelmaster of DAL SHANG! 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. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in DAL SHANG. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DUCK KA-BOB 6939 15 5 0 113 MIGHTY DUCKS (720) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JOEVINA SARIL 6904 21 12 0 91 SAND DANCERS (233) BETTER DUCK 6889 16 21 0 91 MIGHTY DUCKS (720) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MERRO DOSH 6912 16 16 1 73 SAND DANCERS (233) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME UNLUCKY DUCK 6962 7 5 2 57 MIGHTY DUCKS (720) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GOOPHYS 6970 3 0 0 49 SAND DANCERS (233) TENDERIZED DUCK 6944 11 8 1 42 MIGHTY DUCKS (720) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MELOST THE GRAY 6969 4 2 1 41 SAND DANCERS (233) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DOOMED DUCK 6963 7 5 3 29 MIGHTY DUCKS (720) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TANISTA TYRN 6971 1 0 0 9 SAND DANCERS (233) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
