                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ZUKAL games.  BIG BERTHA caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested BOOKSMART and was awarded 18 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, BIG BERTHA put down 
BOOKSMART, causing her to lose 15 points of recognition in the process.  Due to hers 
absence and inability to defend the throne, SMART has lost the title of Duelmaster.  
This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail CASSOWARY, Duelmaster 
of ZUKAL!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in ZUKAL 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 ZUKAL.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  ARENA FELINES is feared.  This much I can say.  If you 
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of RAVENCLAW 
last week.  Busy avoiding ARENA FELINES?   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the 
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  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
