It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week HARLEQUINS went 2-2-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 3-1-0 record which THE WILD CARDS managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! POWNDA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested KHALHUMS DWARF and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CONVICTED ASSASSIN put down BULLETPRUF MONK, causing it to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster BLOODBATH Dark Arena Challenged BLACK ORC last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne. The crowds were amazed this turn, as BLACK ORC killed the Duelmaster, BLOODBATH, leaving IN COLD BLOOD in mourning. With bloody hand COMEDY has ascended to the throne of champions. Is he that one which is spoken of in the ancient texts? Would you believe that over half of the old women in NIANIA 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 NIANIA. NIANIA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is AB-NORMALS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of IN COLD BLOOD last week. Busy avoiding AB-NORMALS? Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after RUSALKA. Watch your back! I can not but mention with disdain the name of WIESENHIEMER who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 10 points below in the rankings. I thought WIESENHIEMER showed great skill and promise when he defeated NOT ABNORMAL. 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? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! The girls are as pretty in NIANIA 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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME COMEDY 5139 23 14 3 124 HARLEQUINS (577) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JOKER 6772 7 1 0 107 THE WILD CARDS (757) BILL 6690 8 1 0 98 TOP FIVE GATES (746) HARLEQUIN 6781 10 2 2 96 THE WILD CARDS (757) ROUX-SHAM-BEAU 3584 16 13 3 92 DEEP ELVES (384) LONDON ROCKET 6565 12 3 0 92 WEEDS WE IS!!
