                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of MORYA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Fortune did not smile upon DODGE BULLETS 
this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 7th position in the wake of a 1-3-0 
round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness how 
this week BASH BROS BODY went 3-2-0 to move up 4 in the rankings.  ACHE caught the 
eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested JAY MCSHAWN and 
was awarded 27 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, ACHE 
put down JAY MCSHAWN, causing him to lose 25 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 DESDEMONA herself.  This time out MANNY FOLD made his bid 
for the throne as he challenged DESDEMONA in an all out contest of skill for 
possession of the title!  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All 
hail MANNY FOLD, Duelmaster of MORYA!  Informants "close" to the city champion have 
told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In MORYA "art" is a word that has long 
since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in 
MORYA these days is OF WOLF AND MAN.  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 BASH BROS BODY last week.  Busy avoiding OF WOLF AND MAN?   
     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!   
     The girls are as pretty in MORYA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till next we 
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
