                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of IAYE!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team THE YOUNG ONES was 
unseated this week as HARD KNOCKS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with 
a 3-2-1 record for the round.  KENDAL MINTCAKE caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested MARY CATHERINE and was awarded 26 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, KENDAL MINTCAKE put 
down MARY CATHERINE, causing her to lose 17 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 WARLOCK himself.  This time out RULE OF THUMB made his bid for 
the throne as he challenged WARLOCK in an all out contest of skill for possession of 
the title!  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail RULE OF 
THUMB, Duelmaster of IAYE!  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team 
has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city IAYE.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  THE YOUNG ONES 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 LENPROS last 
week.  Busy avoiding THE YOUNG ONES?  SAND CREEK must really be harboring a grudge 
against the THE YOUNG ONES guild!  Merciless, 23 challenged down DIRTY SOCK points 
this week to duel with he.  Surprising everyone, DIRTY SOCK defeated SAND CREEK, 
earning 18 points of recognition in the process!  A knave's just desserts are the 
sweetest victory.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena 
there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier 
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
