                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of WILLAF!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  I could not but notice the fine record for 
SKULL AND BONES (5-0-0) after their first round of combat.  May the gods of war favor 
you in WILLAF!  HOWIE HOWITZER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission 
as he skillfully bested MIO MI and was awarded 24 points in recognition.  In one of 
the week's more notable duels, CAPTURED ORC put down MIDAS TOUCH, causing her to lose 
11 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has WATERSHIP DOWN 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.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  MENTOR-SHIPS3 is feared.  This 
much I can say.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to 
find any of SATANS RABBITS last week.  Busy avoiding MENTOR-SHIPS3?   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  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
