                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly CLIFFHOME games.  My praise to ASSASSINS for their 
4-1-0 week this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of 
notice!  DESALVO caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she 
skillfully bested CONVICTED THIEF and was awarded 13 points in recognition.  In one 
of the week's more notable duels, AKIMOTO put down EAGLES SB CHAMPS, causing her to 
lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has NITE OWL in the 
past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat 
skill yet again.  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 CLIFFHOME "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat 
in CLIFFHOME these days is BLADES OF NEON.  At least, most blades in town are looking 
to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of ASSASSINS are catching the bulk of jests 
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.   
     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!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  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 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
