Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week DREAMERS went 5-0-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. ROUSSEAU caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested HEZASH THE MOUTH and was awarded 12 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, MONTESQUIEU put down KILLER BEE, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. Although WASTE OF TIME made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious DEATH STALKER. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! Many and various are the arts of battle. In RIZTAB "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! RIZTAB, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is DREAMERS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of FAR TRAVELERS are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. NIETZSCHE take warning! You have more than a few enemies in RIZTAB. 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! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in RIZTAB. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DEATH STALKER 7944 14 7 0 146 THE ENDLESS (731) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SWEETIE PIE 7970 17 11 1 93 SWEET MAGIC (267) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MAPLE TREE 7917 22 21 0 87 SWEET MAGIC (267) WASTE OF TIME 7874 16 38 0 86 SWEET MAGIC (267) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MONTESQUIEU 7989 9 5 0 66 DREAMERS (142) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KILLER BEE 8001 7 6 0 49 SWEET MAGIC (267) NIETZSCHE 7992 7 7 0 48 DREAMERS (142) -OX 8022 4 0 0 38 TOP 5 MUSKS (738) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ELON 8023 3 1 0 32 TOP 5 MUSKS (738) PASCAL 7996 4 4 0 30 DREAMERS (142) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ETEERS 8024 2 2 0 20 TOP 5 MUSKS (738) ROUSSEAU 8038 1 1 0 19 DREAMERS (142) CATALANO 8043 1 1 0 14 FAR TRAVELERS (740) -MACON 8040 1 0 0 9 FAR TRAVELERS (740) MORE 8037 1 1 0 9 DREAMERS (142) GOBLET 8044 0 1 0 1 SWEET MAGIC (267) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
