SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of LIN TIRIAN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. HOUDINI caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested HAMFIST and was awarded 13 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HOUDINI put down HAMFIST,
causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Although MASKED MARAUDER
made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious VEILED
POISON. 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 LIN TIRIAN. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. MEDAL OF HONOR Z2 is feared. This much I can say.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding MEDAL OF HONOR Z2. Indeed it was MAGIC ARTISTS. Loose talk at
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after THE WEEPER. Watch your back! As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of
fear lays hold of its heart. True, MIRACLE WORKER? Who could miss your "brave"
challenge of THE WEEPER? Surprising everyone, THE WEEPER bested MIRACLE WORKER,
earning 17 points of recognition in the process! A knave's just desserts are the
sweetest victory.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
My continued position as Popularity Leader just PROVES something I've thought all
along, all my life, which is that MOST people would be nasty if they could get away
with it. And I think they should try harder, because they won't really be happy
until they let their inner nastiness out. -- Ann Nasty
Two-three, with our two newest members, the AMATEURS, winning? It's a plot. -- Ann
Nasty
P.S. And no standbys AGAIN.

JASPER GULCH: DM 85
Zeb Karan around the big table. Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and
stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and
infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like
this, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
"So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they
closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?"
"Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary.
There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're
too full of team records."
"Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested.
Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the
arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave.
"We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested.
"We can't burn RECORDS."
"I could," Rinvar said.
"But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its
own sake, Jame."
Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew."
"When are they shutting down Blackstone?"
"To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers
want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel
from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this
week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can
recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of
enquiry around the room.
"Jasper Gulch," a steward said.
"Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably
'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be
transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT."
Voth nodded. "We can work with this."
"Beats not working."
