                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Well, I managed to beat Liberius and hang onto the top spot, plus recieved my
invite to the Isle.  As for the Isle, I am planning on retiring from the arena.
Aside from that I have not decided what my future holds.
     Since I am retiring, here are my detailed info for those who care.  My stats are
11-4-13-17(+1)-18(+2)-12-12.  My favorite weapon is Longsword, rhythm is High/High
and I favor Initiative skills.  I have an Advanced Expert in Initiative and Defense
and an Expert in Attack.  In 24 fights I raised 3 stats in 4 tries and learned 49
skills.

Well, I guess this is farewell, Shadowpire.

Dunnik Duelmaster and Lord Protector

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of SHADOWSPIRE!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  I have begun to suspect trickery on 
the part of OF WOLF AND MAN.  How else weeks like this one's 4-1-0?  How else the 
sudden move to 2nd team?  There were bitter words at SUMMERBORN's guildhouse after a 
2-3-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 13th.  Dark Arena anyone?  Did 
only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which LA PENTARCHIE managed to post this round?  I 
don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!  ANSELM caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BOWTIE BOB and was awarded 21 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, DAPHNE ROSEN put 
down HUGH CAPET, causing him to lose 20 points of recognition in the process.  This 
time out SPIREWOLF made his bid for the throne as he challenged DUNNIK in an all out 
contest of skill for possession of the title!  Although SPIREWOLF made a valiant 
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious DUNNIK.  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!   
     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 SHADOWSPIRE these days is THE MONGOLOIDS II.  At least, most blades 
in town are looking to avoid them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have 
been hard pressed to find any of LA PENTARCHIE last week.  Busy avoiding THE 
MONGOLOIDS II?  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the 
knowledge that many fighters are after TACOIA.  Watch your back!  For some warriors 
honor is not important--only empty victory.  See, gladiators, how HUMMINGBIRD of 
SUMMERBORN challenged down 20 points to SUPERIORBANE.  All the city knows the duel 
went in favor of HUMMINGBIRD.  I shall not fail to spread the word in other cities of 
this "mighty" victory.  A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it 
seems that LOW AND AWAY posted a challenge against the more highly recognized SERAFIN 
GAWAIN.  The results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand LOW AND AWAY overcame SERAFIN 
GAWAIN.  Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.  I can not but mention 
with disdain the name of GREGORR who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 
10 points below in the rankings.  I thought GREGORR showed great skill and promise 
when he subdued LIAM O'FLAHERTY.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Walk proud, warriors of OTTO'S DINER!  By striking down AUGUST you 
have avenged the honor of your dead.  Your virtue is known to all in SHADOWSPIRE.  
Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies 
against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in SHADOWSPIRE.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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

Berserker -- I kept throwing them down the middle and you blasted away.  Well done.
(sigh) -- Low And Away

Gutbuster -- Somehow Agent messed up and placed this challenge for me.  He says he
blew it in his old age. (But he will not refund me--or you--any fees.) -- Limp In

Mykul -- I thought maybe your experience would be too much, but I laid it in close,
didn't I.  Thanks, thanks, thanks for those many, wonderful skills. -- Flop Shot

Maddened Meerkat -- I thought you had me, there early after you dodged and took the
initiative.  But, BUT, I dodged?  I guess all those sweaty workouts have left me in
better shape than I thought?  I dodged? -- Head Band

Evelyn Waugh -- Well, I thought I was pretty literate from being in close contact
with the written word, but you showed me I still dangle my participles.  You also
showed me that I suck! -- Head Band (obviously the wrong color)

     You have to dangle participles, most of them are drip-dry.

Congrats to Dunnik and Wee Beastie, well deserved Lord protectors. -- Agent and The
Capital Cartel

Hey, All, glad to see you responded to my personal ads plea with LOTS of personals.
You guys are THE BEST!  Now if you only had some good representation--like ME! --
Agent

Rosalita -- You need to slap your manager.  He decided your loss before you even took
a step onto the sands.  Such a shame. -- Venisha

Cosmic Ray -- It's a party in the USA! -- Miley

Mystery Meat -- For having a 3-1 record, you certainly went down easy enough... --
Brentni

Cariec Tom -- Lol, but you sure looked bad with the weapon.  Guessing it's not your
fave, eh? -- Latrice

Lillekatt -- Good thing I have teammates to pound on you if I can't. -- Tacoi

Managerr -- Nice to see you in Shadowspire.  If you ever decide to hatch some evil
plans in this arena, count me in. -- DK

Consortium -- Grats on the top team spot.  Glad to see it out of LP's hands. -- DK

Gentle Ben -- How much is it killing you that I am winning with what I am winning
with?  Where's all that smack talk about me only being able to run TPs and STs?  Just
because I have been quiet, doesn't mean I think you're any less of a lousy manager
than I used to.  Wow, 42% huh?  Did your team have a party when you passed the 40%
mark? -- Kellumbo

LP -- I must admit, you have taken the challenges in 100 in good stride.  It's always
nice to gain a little respect for other managers. -- Kellumbo

Nice fight, Latrice!  You move your body, Golem girl! -- Cariec Tom

Daphne Rosen... incredible... I did it again... -- Average Joe

Gerth -- Again??  Man, one day, you should think about going to Talahya. -- Iron
Smith
P.S.  You are not so bad!

Vanek is just terrifying... 19... soon 20, and the number two is stuck at 11. -- Le
Pentarque

Hi there! -- I just wanted to inroduce myself, I'm Manager and I run Superior Forces
NT.  Happy Dueling everyone! -- Manager

Wow, all I see around me are a bunch of Longbeards!  Where did you guys all come from
anyways?  You've fought my teammates two turns in a row for the throne, when is it my
turn? -- Gracchus

Ettin -- Alright, I finally admit it.  You just simply seem to have my number.  I am
not sure if you are the luckiest warrior I have ever come across or just a very good
one.  I suspect it's both.  Either way, well done, sir! -- Vanek, Manager of
Warmasters

Ornery Ocelot -- Yikes, that was a really bad random matchup for you.  Only a 37
point difference.  Oh well, you can blame the Gladitoral Commission for that one, not
me. -- Gracchus

Dunnik -- Ouch.  Congrats on defending your title. -- Liberius

Clan Longbeard -- Congrats on holding the throne for two consecutive turns and going
5-0 last turn.  Quite impressive. -- Vanek

Welcome to our new additions....Summerborn, Superior Forces, Jungleland, & Josefin's
Heroes.  Glad to have you all on board!  Enjoy your stay in the greatest arena in all
of Alastari! -- Vanek

Iron Smith -- The throne doesn't seem to want me either, apparently! -- Gracchus

Ghost of JRS -- Ouch, you were my second challenge and I was actually aiming for the
leg.  Damn scimitar.  Looking forward to the Bloodfued. -- Widow Faerlina

Superior Fox -- Duuurrhhh, yous was hurtin me! -- Lariton

Riva -- Not sure why you were in the Adepts!  I had to find out. -- Arioch

Averroes -- I actually liked that QS for the short time I had it, was ripping quite
nicely! -- Grobbulus

Ahh, well I have had those who like my maintenance guys to feast on.  That is about
to change. -- Grimm

#of TPs in the lower area = too many. -- Grimm

Superior Panda -- Classic.  I shall judge you by your actions and your achievements.
-- Lord Protector PO'd Panda

If I could learn more than 0.7 skills per turn with a 17 wit I may be less pathetic.
-- Ornery

Corrin -- Okay, now I'm just a bit annoyed.  You won again?  And this time I had the
"right" strat?  I guess I need to reassess what it means to be the right strat!  Nice
win. -- Lord Exeter

Bahbi -- Yeah, pretty much what the wolf said. -- Blue Marble

Dunnik -- Congratulations on the throne and on your graduation.  Lord Protector is a
well deserved title in this case. -- The Guild

Liam O'Flaherty -- Remember what Gerth said last time about his practice dummy?
Yeah, that.  I suspect I wouldn't like it if you ever did get to swing at me, but so
far that doesn't seem to be a big concern. -- Attila

W.S. Gilbert -- Really?  You challenged me?  Well, thanks, I guess.  That one was
easy. -- Spirewolf

Kid Charlemagne -- You showed some spunk in that fight.  Your record still remains
winless, but if the boss lets you keep fighting that should change soon.  Just not
against me. -- Azaghal

Welcome to Josefins Heroes!  Who's Josefin? -- The Guild

Arioch -- I know you enjoyed that win so enjoy it while it lasts, I will be back
later to collect on the debt. -- Riva

Hugh Capet -- I hope your other fights fair better for you than our last one, see you
on the Isle. -- Lady Protector Wee Beastie

Sinister Snoopy -- With you being on maintenance and all that I should have done
better, we will meet again. -- Dras

Walli -- <yawn>  What, it's over, where is everybody, I fell asleep, I didn't give
up, come back, I still want to fight...don't give me that attatude...have you looked
in the mirror lately...I think not/ -- Brand

Jersey Girl -- Girllll...I love those shoes and they way they add bounce to your
step...  Where can I get a pair? -- Duchess of Erat

Dunnik -- Congrats on the invite hope you go to 100. -- Gentleben

Tripwire -- Thanks for stroking the fire the embers were starting to die out. --
Gentleben

Shy Skunk -- That's the best kind, I guess. -- Serafin

Scoobi -- Doobi Do?  Welcome to Shadowspire. -- Selena

Azaghal -- Arrgh.  And nice trains, by the way. -- K. C.

Chupucasuperior -- I like you a lot better than your little cat friend. -- Regina
Spectre

Miley -- Thanks for that strategy consultation.  Glad you could spare so much time.
-- Ray

Iron Smith -- Finally all my experience did me some good. -- Gerth

Liberius -- May you find your way to the throne after I am gone. -- Dunnik

Lord Exeter -- How many more strategies do you have left to try? -- Corrin

Xorn -- I even surprised myself in our fight. -- Fimnar

Superiorbane -- Thanks for the workout. -- Elthor
