SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly LIN TIRIAN games. HUMBLE BRAG caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested ALICE TINKER and was awarded
10 points in recognition. Not for nothing has OLAF THORFIN 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 LIN TIRIAN. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in LIN
TIRIAN these days is SAND DANCERS. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding SAND DANCERS. Indeed it was PERRY COUNTY. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. B take warning! You have
more than a few enemies in LIN TIRIAN. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the
games this week, it seems that B posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized GATCHEL. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand B was bested by
GATCHEL. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! 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 LIN TIRIAN 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 we meet again, remember: a turtle
walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

PERSONAL ADS
Whoa, Isawa Tadaka, you showed me. You put your massive experience to work and sort of
"cleaned my clock"! -- Bristow
B, gotcha again! I wanted to fight an A-liner, but I had to take the lesser B instead.
Maybe someday you can be an A; then we will both feel better? -- Fenn Haven
Convicted Thief and Mordant Deserter, thanks for filling in and making our day! --
Cannelton and Gatchel
Health. Humility. Honor. Rednecks unite! -- Smitty, Perry County's near ultimate
Redneck
Olaf Thorfin -- (groaning) That was well done. Obviously the announcer has no idea
what he's talking about when he says you lack strength. -- Avril Hound
Soldier 1 -- At least you aren't a sergeant, or you'd have taught me nothing. --
Eustace, grateful for the skill
M. Chardinee is about worthless in the regard. I guess he doesn't see any point in
teaching because he's not allowed to learn. -- Justine
The dangerous criminal nearly kills me and teaches me nothing. It isn't like I could
avoid standbys. -- Timmy Tango
D -- That isn't much of a name, but at least you're not a neuter golem. -- Alice
Tinker
