SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly DAL SHANG games. Former top team MEDAL OF HONOR C11
was unseated this week as POSSE moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a
4-1-0 record for the round. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which POSSE
managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!
LADY LUCK caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully
bested AN YEE and was awarded 25 points in recognition. In one of the week's more
notable duels, LADY LUCK put down AN YEE, causing him to lose 17 points of
recognition in the process. Not for nothing has GUNSLINGER in the past laid claim to
the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his 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. DAL SHANG, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of
thy guilds is POSSE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. If you
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of LAUGH TRACK
LORDS last week. Busy avoiding POSSE? Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears
and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after KO THE AVERAGE. Watch
your back!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Strange what qualities come forth in the
face of certain doom. SERGEANT 1 has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena
victory! 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!
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 we meet
again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
