                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  MIDNIGHT MUFFIN caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested LAWNMOWER MAN and was 
awarded 20 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, MIDNIGHT 
MUFFIN put down LAWNMOWER MAN, causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the 
process.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail BOSS WALKING 
BY, Duelmaster of DAL SHANG!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in 
DAL SHANG seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city DAL SHANG.  DAL SHANG, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of 
thy guilds is TOURNAMENT BLUES 65, 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 SATAN'S GARDEN last week.  Busy avoiding TOURNAMENT BLUES 65?  Loose talk at the 
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are 
after HARRUMPH.  Watch your back!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms.  One thing 
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!   
     The girls are as pretty in DAL SHANG 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
