                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly CLIFFHOME games.  There were bitter words at FAR 
TRAVELERS' guildhouse after a 0-1-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 
9th.  Dark Arena anyone?  MC GANGSTA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as it skillfully bested DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and was awarded 22 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, GNARLGUT put down NO AGENDA, 
causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process.  Although PHAEDREN made a 
valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious ICARUS.  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!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city CLIFFHOME.  CLIFFHOME, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of 
thy guilds is U.A.K., a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  If 
you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of THE 
WATCHMEN last week.  Busy avoiding U.A.K.?  Loose talk at the arena has reached my 
ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after DESTINY.  Watch 
your back!  I can not but mention with disdain the name of HOODED JUSTICE who this 
week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 10 points below in the rankings.  I 
thought HOODED JUSTICE showed great skill and promise when he subdued DESTINY.  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!  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 CLIFFHOME 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 
we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no 
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
