                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of OSKSI!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team PET SHOP BOYS was unseated 
this week as THE BLUES 3 moved up from 5th ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0 
record for the round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  
Witness how this week THE BLUES 3 went 4-1-0 to move up 4 in the rankings.  THE 
WITCHES caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully 
bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 21 points in recognition.  In one of the 
week's more notable duels, LOUIS JORDAN put down SLOWMO, causing her to lose 14 
points of recognition in the process.  As is fitting, the most sought after warrior 
on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster HAMBONE WILLIE 
himself.  This time out PORKY made his bid for the throne as he challenged HAMBONE 
WILLIE in an all out contest of skill for possession of the title!  Although PORKY 
made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious HAMBONE 
WILLIE.  Would you believe that over half of the old women in OSKSI seem to feel that 
they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city OSKSI.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in OSKSI these 
days is THE COUSINS.  At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.  
Apparently the stalwarts of BANGERS & MASH are catching the bulk of jests down at the 
challenging board for their large share of the avoids.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  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 OSKSI 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 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
