                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of VEASTIAN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  A new guild, OF WOLF & MAN, entered 
VEASTIAN with a clash this turn, showing off a 3-1-0 record.  Indeed, a worthy 
addition to the city guilds.  ARARIUS HEX caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 20 points in 
recognition.  Although INGOT made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the 
reign of victorious ALETA OGORD.  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 VEASTIAN.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in VEASTIAN 
these days is PRIDE OF ALASTARI.  At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid 
them.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the 
better part of last week avoiding PRIDE OF ALASTARI.  Indeed it was GUARDIANS.  
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  CHIPPA KEMNAC take 
warning!  You have more than a few enemies in VEASTIAN.  F-SHANA must really be 
harboring a grudge against the PRIDE OF ALASTARI guild!  Merciless, 21 challenged 
down KETL LOCKBLOCK points this week to duel with she.  The Fates are not kind to the 
cowardly, as evidenced by the fact that F-SHANA was beat by KETL LOCKBLOCK.  And who 
can now doubt that KETL LOCKBLOCK is a hardy opponent?  I can not but mention with 
disdain the name of STARHAWK who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 12 
points below in the rankings.  I thought STARHAWK showed great skill and promise when 
he was overcame by CASTER.  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!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the 
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     The girls are as pretty in VEASTIAN as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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 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
