                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly CHIMLEVTAL games.  Former top team JUST DESSERTS was 
unseated this week as BASH BROS OCEAN moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 2-2-0 record for the round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around 
the corner!  Witness how this week OZCANN REJECTS went 3-2-1 to move up 4 in the 
rankings.  KENINA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she 
skillfully bested WRATH and was awarded 23 points in recognition.  In one of the 
week's more notable duels, DESIGNER CRIME put down LITTER, causing him to lose 7 
points of recognition in the process.  Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, 
Duelmaster BAKERS 7 Dark Arena Challenged WURM KIN last week in a match to decide the 
fate of the throne.  Although WURM KIN made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to 
topple the reign of victorious BAKERS 7.  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!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In CHIMLEVTAL "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when 
this week's challenge seeking began.  JUST DESSERTS 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 JUST DESSERTS.  Indeed it was BASH BROS OCEAN.  Loose talk at 
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters 
are after KYRA.  Watch your back!  I can not but mention with disdain the name of 
TIRE IRON who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 8 points below in the 
rankings.  I thought TIRE IRON showed great skill and promise when it bested BATROC!. 
All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  BAKERS 7 has sworn to take up religion upon living 
to tell of its recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors.  A rare thing indeed!  My 
sources at ASSASSIN NATION stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer.  This 
as a result of the untimely demise of WRATH.  Beware KENINA!  Dark alleys may hide 
both secrets and assassins.  In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  
Keep vigil always!   
     The girls are as pretty in CHIMLEVTAL 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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are 
angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes

Runnin' out of decent warriors and the recruits are lousy these days. Are they illegal

how much longer we Useful Weapons will remain in business. Send me money, or at least, 
skilled recruits. Capiche? -- Smithy

What was special about Wand with her 17-6-0 record? She did GREAT damage. (Some women
