REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hail and well met warriors of FREE BLADES! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. S. MARY ROSE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested SAVORY and was awarded 30 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KOOKABURRA put down SEKHAT, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of MARTIN BLANK, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Would you believe that over half of the old women in FREE BLADES seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city FREE BLADES. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in FREE BLADES these days is THE PHILANTHROPISTS. 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 DEVIL ADVOCATES last week. Busy avoiding THE PHILANTHROPISTS? Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. SEKHAT take warning! You have more than a few enemies in FREE BLADES. I cannot but express pride for the fearlessness of GARY M. REAPER who cast caution to the winds and challenged SMUG BUG, a fighter 35 points higher. To be sure the battle was a losing one. But I like to think GARY M. REAPER at least gave SMUG BUG a run for his money. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that BILBO BAGGINNI posted a challenge against the more highly recognized ARGUMENT. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand BILBO BAGGINNI overcame ARGUMENT. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. I can not but mention with disdain the name of GIMME SOME SUGAR who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 13 points below in the rankings. I thought GIMME SOME SUGAR showed great skill and promise when he overcame SERGE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. 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: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

MARY ROSE 78-2313 571 PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE I thought maybe after a good night's sleep, I would have the energy to do a spy report, but, you know, I don't. Sorry. -- Debby T. Unforgettable -- What the-- wait-- I'm not Lord Marshall anymore? Woo hoo! *hugs Unforgettable* Thank you! I mean, you know, OW! That really hurt! But it's great! -- Nightcap Superior Forces -- You heard what the Commission judge said. No more wit for you. So, ha! -- Gazelle Gimme Some Sugar -- Oh, really! I don't think so. -- Rem Savory -- What is the meaning of your team name, "Dead We Suck"? I mean, everyone sucks at pretty much everything when they're dead. It seems to me that your manager may have been asking rather too much of you. -- Sekhat That's managers for you. Wooden Arrow -- Sorry. Matchups like that just aren't fair. -- Sandman Mossrock -- What Sandman said. You younger guys may have some talent, but you're in an arena full of gnarly old farts who don't fall down easily. Sorry. -- Sleepwalker Whitebraid -- Are you sure you can't do that in your sleep? Have you tried? -- Sleepwalker Redthorn -- Well, THAT must have been an accident. Since I had as many wins as you had, total fights. But now, due to this accident, you have soiled my record. I hate you. -- Jeo the Songsmith Debby Tonte -- Yes. Jewels sewn onto clothing do tend to produce fashion. If a suit glitters as one moves, it is a good thing. The play of light, the dazzle, this is a joy to all who behold. -- Jeo the Songsmith That isn't what the Adantri say. I mean, about jewels producing fashion, like, automatically. Mossrock -- I don't sing while I am fighting. Proper singing takes complete concentration; to do something else at the same time would be sacrilege. -- Jeo the Songsmith LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GARY M.
