SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of DRAGONHEAD! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. BASH BROS B-MOVIES bore the brunt of
major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 21st position as the
result of going 0-1-0! Did only my eyes note the 3-0-0 record which UNLIKELY HEROES
managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!
TIME BOMB caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully
bested REPAIR and was awarded 37 points in recognition. In one of the week's more
notable duels, COUNT PEPPERMINT put down UNPREPARED, causing him to lose 20 points of
recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne,
CHEMICAL SMELL has lost the title of Duelmaster. The city has turned out in honor of
WARNING BELLS, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest
position in the city! Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he
never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in DRAGONHEAD these days is H IS FOR HIPPO. At least, most blades in
town are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of BASH BROS B-MOVIES are
catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the
avoids. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the
knowledge that many fighters are after LOST IN COUCH. Watch your back! At the
gambling halls I have started to bet money on HUBERTA. She has got the courage it
takes. Witness hers challenge this turn against LOST IN COUCH! Do not the gods
reward courage? HUBERTA it was that claimed victory in the bout, while also rising
24 points in recognition.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! This week marked the last days of SHOPPING CART
who at 21-11-1 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of BASH BROS
ROADSIDE's demanding management. Some guilds are strict but few are as heartless as
BASH BROS ROADSIDE. Witness, last turn they sent SHOPPING CART, a 21-11-1 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? 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

HALLOWEEN TOURNAMENT UPDATE
It has come to our attention that a warrior, Voodoo Toad 85-14776, was sent to
the Dark Arena and slain in order to be classed as a Dead Challenger in this past
Halloween Tournament. As this warrior is a Zombie, this was against the rules because
immortal warriors may not challenge the Dark Arena. (An exception is granted so a
warrior may challenge the Dark Arena on his very last turn after receiving an
invitation to Advanced Duelmasters, so he can show his prowess with the Dark Arena
monsters, but this may not be used as a method of classing in the dead tournament if
he happens to die in the night fight.)
To correct this injustice, we changed the fight result for all warriors who
lost to Voodoo Toad to a win for that turn. This gave two warriors, Crazy 54 84-11494
of Crazy 88 15 and Sarokith 84-30929 of Dub O Dubs, an ending record of 8-3, which
grants them Tournament Victor status and resurrection.
We realize this is not a perfect solution but hope it will make some amends
for the warriors who lost to this misclassed warrior.
