                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ARUAK CITY!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team THE RED HAND was 
unseated this week as BULLDOGS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 
4-1-0 record for the round.  There were bitter words at RATTZ's guildhouse after a 
0-2-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 16th.  Dark Arena anyone?  
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness how this week 
KRILL CAVALRY went 2-0-0 to move up 8 in the rankings.  Did only my eyes note the 
4-1-0 record which BULLDOGS managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a 
record will draw challengers!  BARIT CHAVANA caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested HUSKY and was awarded 24 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, JON THANE put down ADONIS, 
causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process.  This time victory fell 
to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail NACKY, Duelmaster of ARUAK CITY!  No 
confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using 
magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city ARUAK CITY.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ARUAK 
CITY these days is NANNY HOUSE.  At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid 
them.  Apparently the stalwarts of BULLDOGS 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.  THANATOS take warning!  You have more than 
a few enemies in ARUAK CITY.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  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 ARUAK CITY.  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
