                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of TRANSEL!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  KOKO TAYLOR caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested HALLUCENT and was awarded 18 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, WILLOW put down 
SLEEPY JOHN ESTES, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process.  
Although AMBER TASMANIAN made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the 
reign of victorious SOLARHRINGER.  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 TRANSEL "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat 
in TRANSEL these days is RUNE.  At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid 
them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any 
of BREWHALLA last week.  Busy avoiding RUNE?  Loose talk at the arena has reached my 
ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after RALGIZ.  Watch 
your back!   
     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!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in TRANSEL.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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
