                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ARVAT!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always 
around the corner!  Witness how this week APOCALYPSE went 3-0-0 to move up 3 in the 
rankings.  SEVENTH SEAL caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested E.O.D. and was awarded 23 points in recognition.  In one of the 
week's more notable duels, SEVENTH SEAL put down E.O.D., causing him to lose 20 
points of recognition in the process.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the 
usurper.  All hail SCREAM BERET, Duelmaster of ARVAT!  Informants "close" to the city 
champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  
Watch out!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In ARVAT "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.  DEATH BY DESIGN 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 ANGELS 
OF PAIN last week.  Busy avoiding DEATH BY DESIGN?  Loose talk at the arena has 
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after IRON 
TUSK.  Watch your back!  As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of fear lays hold of 
his heart.  True, DEVASTATION?  Who could miss your "brave" challenge of IRON TUSK?  
All the city knows the duel went in favor of DEVASTATION.  I shall not fail to spread 
the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory.  I can not but mention with 
disdain the name of HURLY BURLY who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 
9 points below in the rankings.  I thought HURLY BURLY showed great skill and promise 
when he lost to BUTTERFLY EFFECT.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena 
there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in ARVAT.  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 - the pen is 
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
