And so it goes! 

Or at least, so I go...

It looks like I'll get a chance to fight on the Isle, at least for a time! Apparently 
a Broken Brake Line is really effective for Death's Army!

For those who care, I came into and leave Kati-Tei as a 13-7-11-21-15-10-7 ST. Never 
tried to train any stats. Learned 75 skills in my time here and have experts in 
Riposte, Attack, & Parry, Adv Expert in Initiative, and a MASTER rating in 
Decisiveness.

My primary claim to faim is being the bosses first intentionally low DF warrior to 
graduate with a winning record. I'm also only his second Striker, if you can believe 
that!

Well, let's see who gets the throne now. There's one of each of the long term teams 
nearby, so I'm not challenging or avoiding. Can one of you get a challenge through and 
win? Or do I smash one of you and two others battle it out for the throne? We will 
see!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly KATI-TEI games.  There were bitter words at NAWLINS 
RU2's guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 6th.  
Dark Arena anyone?  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  
Witness how this week WORLD BLADES 9 went 1-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings.  
CRYPTO-COLLAPSE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it 
skillfully bested KHALHUMS DWARF and was awarded 19 points in recognition.  In one of 
the week's more notable duels, GREAT WALL put down WAFFLE DUCK, causing him to lose 1 
points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has BROKEN BRAKE LINE 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!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  KATI-TEI, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is NAWLINS RU2, 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 DEATH'S  ARMY last week.  Busy avoiding NAWLINS RU2?   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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 KATI-TEI.  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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  
The wise are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
