                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of LIN TIRIAN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  PENTATONIC MAJOR caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PERSISTANT BEGGAR and was 
awarded 17 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, 
FEINTAMOUR put down BRISTOW, causing her to lose 6 points of recognition in the 
process.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, TAUT TWINE has lost 
the title of Duelmaster.  The city has turned out in honor of FEINTAMOUR, for with 
his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!  Would 
you believe that over half of the old women in LIN TIRIAN 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.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  HOWLIN CASE is feared.  This much 
I can say.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the 
better part of last week avoiding HOWLIN CASE.  Indeed it was PERRY COUNTY.   
     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 LIN TIRIAN 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
