                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of TRANSEL!  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 RAT PAK went 2-1-0 to move up 6 in 
the rankings.  SLEEPY JOHN ESTES caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested PSYCHO KILLER and was awarded 20 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, KOKO TAYLOR put down CRUSHED 
APPLE, causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process.  The city has 
turned out in honor of RATIGAN-RAT, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim 
to the highest position in the city!  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!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in TRANSEL these days is PSYCHO SQUAD.  At least, most blades in town 
are looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of ANGRY EDEN are catching the 
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.   
     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 TRANSEL as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a 
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
