                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of CALEAM!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team FAR TRAVELERS was unseated 
this week as GENERATION X moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0 
record for the round.  Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which GENERATION X 
managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!  
MAGGOTT caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested 
DIABLO and was awarded 12 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable 
duels, POLLO put down CLEMENTA, causing her to lose 5 points of recognition in the 
process.  Although BANSHEE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the 
reign of victorious RED KNIGHT.  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me 
that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     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 CALEAM these days is SATAN'S SANDWICHES.  At least, most blades in 
town are looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of TOP FIVE KEYS are 
catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the 
avoids.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  My sources at ROOFERS stable claim they've never seen the guild 
bitterer.  This as a result of the untimely demise of CHEVO.  Beware CASEY!  Cruelly, 
CASEY of THE PURGE 406 has slain the lesser ranked CHEVO.  Word already flies around 
town that ROOFERS plans a bloodfeud!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the 
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     The girls are as pretty in CALEAM 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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise 
are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
