It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly SOLVEN games. Not for nothing has MYSTERIOUS in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city SOLVEN. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in SOLVEN these days is ARE YOU ?. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of SNOT QUITE RIGHT 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. KRISTI LOW take warning! You have more than a few enemies in SOLVEN. I can not but mention with disdain the name of TRACE OF BLOOD who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points below in the rankings. I thought TRACE OF BLOOD showed great skill and promise when he was beat by KRISTI LOW. 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. The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one reward--death. This past week MUCKENDER, at 4-11-0, departed SOLVEN 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 SOLVEN as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LE ROY JR 7721 19 42 0 99 MIDDLE WAY 15 (747) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KNIGHT 7856 6 0 1 89 VIVA CAPITALISM!
