Ouch, the Khalhums Dwarf is good. But he still doesn't get the title. Torans Ulrik SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of DRAGONHEAD! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. HOGG caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 20 points in recognition. Not for nothing has TORANS ULRIK 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? But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city DRAGONHEAD. Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one reward--death. This past week CMS, at 3-11-0, departed DRAGONHEAD forever. 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! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in DRAGONHEAD. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TORANS ULRIK 6399 12 12 0 93 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ARAMIS RAMIREZ 5967 13 2 0 110 PURPLE PLATYPI (659) -STEVE LAKE 6117 15 2 0 104 SUE'S BOYS (670) -LEON DURHAM 6118 14 3 0 103 SUE'S BOYS (670) -HAMMY HAMSTER 5950 15 4 1 97 MEAT YOUR MAKER (656) -LONDON BEEFEATER 6238 9 0 0 97 MEAT YOUR MAKER (656) -FREDDY GARCIA 5959 12 4 1 94 NO OFFENCE INTENDED (657) -FULCRUM 6122 12 2 0 94 RUSSIAN BIRDS (671) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -BADGER 6121 7 1 1 82 RUSSIAN BIRDS (671) ROMOR SAITH 6398 13 11 1 67 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NAEFAN ORDH 6396 19 5 0 66 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) DR MANHATTAN 6472 4 5 0 63 LHC (705) LOUIE MURH 6395 15 9 0 57 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -HAMBURGER HILL 6216 6 4 0 47 MEAT YOUR MAKER (656) ALICE 6392 6 8 0 45 LHC (705) RONARDA SOLA 6461 8 4 1 43 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) WHOLE 5895 6 2 0 39 MILK IS GOOD (650) -CHICKEN S#!^ 5952 8 8 0 36 MEAT YOUR MAKER (656) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CHRISTIAN 6200 5 2 1 32 SUE'S BOYS (670) -MARK REDMAN 5958 3 2 0 27 NO OFFENCE INTENDED (657) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MARK PRIOR 6114 5 2 0 23 SUE'S BOYS (670) -ANDREW JONES 5965 3 1 1 23 PURPLE PLATYPI (659) HOGG 6353 1 0 0 20 KIWI CONNECTION 3 (698) ATLAS 6391 2 12 0 18 LHC (705) -2% 5896 2 1 0 13 MILK IS GOOD (650) OXFORD 6344 1 0 0 13 KIWI CONNECTION (696) -1% 5898 2 0 0 10 MILK IS GOOD (650) -ANDRE DAWSON 6278 2 2 0 9 SUE'S BOYS (670) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -TIM SALMON 6290 1 0 0 9 MEAT YOUR MAKER (656) -JOHN PATTERSON 5957 0 2 0 2 NO OFFENCE INTENDED (657) -NICK JOHNSON 5968 0 1 0 1 PURPLE PLATYPI (659) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
