                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly LIN TIRIAN games.  Former top team FAR TRAVELERS was 
unseated this week as OLD SCHOOL BALL moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 4-1-0 record for the round.  MAGIC caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested BIG ONE and was awarded 17 points in recognition.  
In one of the week's more notable duels, WORLD B FREE put down FENNHAVEN, causing it 
to lose 5 points of recognition in the process.  Due to his absence and inability to 
defend the throne, ROTH has lost the title of Duelmaster.  This time victory fell to 
the grasp of the usurper.  All hail LILLY-DALE, Duelmaster of LIN TIRIAN!  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.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  OLD SCHOOL BALL is feared.  This 
much I can say.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent 
the better part of last week avoiding OLD SCHOOL BALL.  Indeed it was PERRY COUNTY.  
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that 
many fighters are after WORLD B FREE.  Watch your back!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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!  
     The girls are as pretty in LIN TIRIAN as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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
