                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of LIN TIRIAN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team RAINBOW COUNCIL was 
unseated this week as PERRY COUNTY moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 3-1-0 record for the round.  SPASTIC TUNA caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested MORDANT DESERTER and was awarded 13 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, LADY JUSTICE'S put 
down APALONA, causing her to lose 3 points of recognition in the process.  This time 
out THYLEASEA made hers bid for the throne as she challenged MANNE'S LOVE CHILD in an 
all out contest of skill for possession of the title!  Not for nothing has MANNE'S 
LOVE CHILD in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's 
proven his combat skill yet again.  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if exactly 6 
die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 7!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In LIN TIRIAN "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.  TOP FIVE SCALES 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 TOP FIVE SCALES.  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 BIG ONE.  Watch your back!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     The girls are as pretty in LIN TIRIAN as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are 
angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
