Ah, by the next time I'm here, I can. I hadn't tried to think of anything to say, so I'm empty at the moment. Sorry. 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. BETTER DUCK caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested MERRO DOSH and was awarded 21 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BETTER DUCK put down MERRO DOSH, causing him to lose 20 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has JOEVINA SARIL in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill yet again. 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 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! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? 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 JOEVINA SARIL 6904 23 12 0 121 SAND DANCERS (233) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BETTER DUCK 6889 17 22 0 93 MIGHTY DUCKS (720) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DUCK KA-BOB 6939 15 7 0 88 MIGHTY DUCKS (720) MERRO DOSH 6912 17 17 1 72 SAND DANCERS (233) TENDERIZED DUCK 6944 13 8 1 69 MIGHTY DUCKS (720) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME UNLUCKY DUCK 6962 8 6 2 54 MIGHTY DUCKS (720) DOOMED DUCK 6963 9 5 4 50 MIGHTY DUCKS (720) MELOST THE GRAY 6969 5 3 1 48 SAND DANCERS (233) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GOOPHYS 6970 3 2 0 29 SAND DANCERS (233) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TANISTA TYRN 6971 3 0 0 26 SAND DANCERS (233) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
