SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of DAYLA KIV! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. VORGAN TEN TALH caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested STREET SWEEPER and was
awarded 10 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, JUJUBLE
put down SANDMAN, causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. This
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail KORBA KLEE, Duelmaster of
DAYLA KIV! 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!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In DAYLA KIV "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language!
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!
The girls are as pretty in DAYLA KIV as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool
flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only
once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

Sandman -- Really soaked up the skills, didn't you? Is that "sleep learning"? --
Korba Klee
By golly, it was a Dirty Ruffian, and I sent him running with his tail, such as it
was, between his legs. -- Krissara
Krissara -- No big deal. I did it, too. -- Jujuble
P.S. Faster.
Ah, the Shameless Beggar. He's incorrigible. -- Laris tyl Zora
P.S. And he doesn't teach well.
Laris -- The Cringing Cutpurse is worse. -- Vorgan ten Talh
Oh, no! Starbuck has died! Woe, woe! -- the Sand Dancers

I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!

3. Only one (1) team per player may compete. NO multiple aliases please.

turns.
5. The turn a declaration and verification will begin the scoring process.

Champions:
a. Champions may be declared, but are not mandatory. If declared, the Champion
must be in the Adepts or lower brackets on the turn they are declared
without having gone above the Adepts bracket at any time...including
transferred teams. (I'll be watching for this occurrence!)
Bloodfeuds:
a. Bloodfeuds count for all four (4) turns. However, the same warrior may not
be used all four turns. 4 turns means 4 separate warriors. A penalty of
-10 will be given to the team who violates this.

e. Dark Arena may be used on the first turn of every warrior with no penalty
(this means a warrior with 0 FE).

same conditions as noted for TVs.
h. NO switching alliance once verified by an alliance that a team has declared
for.
i. Only 7 teams are permitted per alliance for the Turf War 5.
PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:
a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!
