                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly VEASTIAN games.  Former top team DUREX 100 was 
unseated this week as GUARDIANS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 
5-0-1 record for the round.  MAJOR VICTORY caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested BASALT and was awarded 20 points in recognition.  
In one of the week's more notable duels, STARLORD put down JERT TILDUR, causing him 
to lose 8 points of recognition in the process.  This time out F-SHANA made hers bid 
for the throne as she Bloodfeuded CASTER in an all out contest of skill for 
possession of the title!  Cold and lifeless, former Duelmaster CASTER will fight no 
more!  F-SHANA has slain him!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in 
VEASTIAN seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  Loose talk at the arena has 
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after CHIPPA 
KEMNAC.  Watch your back!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  My hearty congratulations F-SHANA, for thy revenge 
upon CASTER, slayer of thy fallen comrade.  Next time he will know better, eh?  Fate 
is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies 
against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in VEASTIAN.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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
