                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ZUWAYZA!  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 THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS went 1-0-0 to 
move up 3 in the rankings.  NEON PEON caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as she skillfully bested WEEPY WILLOW and was awarded 20 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, HOT LIPS put down CYNAMINT, 
causing her to lose 15 points of recognition in the process.  Who here was not 
present for the title fight this week as LITTLE BEAR boldly challenged COLONEL TAYLOR 
in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors?  The city has turned out in honor of 
LITTLE BEAR, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position 
in the city!  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained 
their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  ZUWAYZA, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is LAKOTA, a guild shunned and avoided by many 
in the weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of UNDERWORLD are catching the bulk of 
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Loose talk 
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters 
are after CYNAMINT.  Watch your back!  For some warriors honor is not important--only 
empty victory.  See, gladiators, how SPICE GIRL of DEMONIC CHILI'S challenged down 18 
points to ROCKY.  An upset indeed!  SPICE GIRL found sheself outmatched as her was 
bested by ROCKY.  There is no place left further down for SPICE GIRL but the burial 
mound!  A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that 
SPOTTED EAGLE posted a challenge against the more highly recognized ALMANAC.  The 
results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand SPOTTED EAGLE was defeated by ALMANAC.  
Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.   
     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!  
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in ZUWAYZA.  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
