SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of WILLAF! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team HARUCHAI was unseated this
week as SAXON moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-2-0 record for
the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness
how this week WINDS OF HOPE went 3-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. NIGHT ELF
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested BROKEN
HEROES and was awarded 15 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable
duels, ESMERELDA put down FINNY BONE, causing her to lose 6 points of recognition in
the process. Although BUCCA-BOO made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple
the reign of victorious NANOOK. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top
team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
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 WILLAF these days is HARUCHAI. At least, most blades in town are
looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was
that spent the better part of last week avoiding HARUCHAI. Indeed it was TRICKSTERS.
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that
many fighters are after BUCCA-BOO. Watch your back! A match that raised a few
eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that KEENWIND posted a challenge against
the more highly recognized AWD GOGGIE. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand
KEENWIND overcame AWD GOGGIE. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
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 WILLAF. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! 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
