                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly BLACKSTONE games.  Former top team ROOKIE HALEN 18 was 
unseated this week as WOLF AND MAN 3 moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 1-0-0 record for the round.  There were bitter words at MOTHER'S MILK's 
guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 18th.  Dark 
Arena anyone?  GIRLFRIED GIRLFRIEND caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as it skillfully bested TY'BOR and was awarded 122 points in recognition.  
In one of the week's more notable duels, GIRLFRIED GIRLFRIEND put down TY'BOR, 
causing him to lose 25 points of recognition in the process.  Although ROBERT PAULSON 
47 made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious 
NOODLE.  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!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city BLACKSTONE.   
     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 BLACKSTONE.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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 we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, 
and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
