Whilst the steady Fandils go 2-1-0, Ardivent embraces an oddity....
Only Neon could do it?
55 Point Gain!
0-5-0-3, losing to 2 arena warriors and 3 Dark Arena baddy deaths
Neon Dolts listed at 0-5-0 overall
Some great tournament action?
Neon The Mighty or Neon Dolts?
          -- Fandil The Wise (but apparently not as wise as Neon)

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ARDIVENT!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  DORITO caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested VETERAN MERCENARY and was awarded 13 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, ESCORT OF ANGELS put 
down GAMGOING, causing her to lose 7 points of recognition in the process.  Due to 
his absence and inability to defend the throne, THROW THUNDER has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail MAMITU, 
Duelmaster of ARDIVENT!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in 
ARDIVENT seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In ARDIVENT "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when 
this week's challenge seeking began.  FATA LEGIO is feared.  This much I can say.  
Apparently the stalwarts of GREATNESS APPEALS 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.  CHAD take warning!  You have more than a 
few enemies in ARDIVENT.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears 
arms.  One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!   
     The girls are as pretty in ARDIVENT as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are 
angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
