                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ARUAK CITY games.  Fortune did not smile upon CLUB 
HAMMER this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 10th position in the wake of 
a 0-0-0 round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  
Witness how this week ANIMAL FARM went 1-1-0 to move up 6 in the rankings.  NAPPER 
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested 
PATROCLUS and was awarded 20 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more 
notable duels, NAPPER put down PATROCLUS, causing him to lose 32 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 DABIH herself.  This time 
out BULLISH made his bid for the throne as he challenged DABIH in an all out contest 
of skill for possession of the title!  The city has turned out in honor of BULLISH, 
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.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  THE MYRMIDONS is feared.  This 
much I can say.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent 
the better part of last week avoiding THE MYRMIDONS.  Indeed it was BULLDOGS.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  My hearty congratulations MYRMEX, for thy revenge 
upon PINK PONY, slayer of thy fallen comrade.  Next time she will know better, eh?  
Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena there is only the 
brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in ARUAK CITY.  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 next we meet remember:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  
The wise are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
