                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly MORDANT games.  There were bitter words at FREAK 
BROTHERS' guildhouse after a 3-2-1 showing this week which dropped the stable into 
10th.  Dark Arena anyone?  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the 
corner!  Witness how this week BLACK ARMADA went 2-2-0 to move up 6 in the rankings.  
My praise to BLACK OUTPOST for their 3-0-0 week this time out.  Indeed, it was a 
skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  EDGEDANCER caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested HIGH RYE and was awarded 28 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, EDGEDANCER put down 
HIGH RYE, causing it to lose 25 points of recognition in the process.  Who here was 
not present for the title fight this week as PARZIVAL boldly challenged RED SHIRT #1 
in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors?  The city has turned out in honor of 
PARZIVAL, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in 
the city!  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, 
the whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 7!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in MORDANT these days is 1792.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of BLACK MONASTARY are catching the 
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  At 
the gambling halls I have started to bet money on ENSIGN PO.  She has got the courage 
it takes.  Witness hers challenge this turn against FURIUS PACILUS!  The ENTERPRISE 
stable will be up late tonight, for indeed it was ENSIGN PO who claimed victory in 
the contest, ascending 7 in recognition!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  I must report the passing of SPAR 
MASTER, veteran of many duels.  7-6-1 final record His was not illustrious--but death 
plays no favorites.  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 MORDANT.  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

How did we ever allow a Red Shirt to become our Duelmaster? Aren't those the guys that 
aren't expected to last five minutes planetside? Yet, here we all are, staring up at 
one of them. Well, let's see if we can't do something about that. -- Neon Necromancer
