                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of MORDANT!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  There were bitter words at ARMY OF 
ONE's guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 16th.  
Dark Arena anyone?  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  
Witness how this week BLACK ARMADA went 5-0-0 to move up 5 in the rankings.  Did only 
my eyes note the 3-0-0 record which BLACK JUNTA managed to post this round?  I don't 
doubt that such a record will draw challengers!  TUBERCULOSIS caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested HOLD-MY-BEER BEAR and was 
awarded 22 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, 
TUBERCULOSIS put down HOLD-MY-BEER BEAR, causing him to lose 19 points of recognition 
in the process.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, CHOSEN ONE 
has lost the title of Duelmaster.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the 
usurper.  All hail FULL PROOF, Duelmaster of MORDANT!  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!   
     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.  BLACK PANTHEON is feared.  This 
much I can say.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to 
find any of THE QUIET DOCTRINE last week.  Busy avoiding BLACK PANTHEON?  Mighty 
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  OBSIDIAN MONK take warning! 
You have more than a few enemies in MORDANT.  For some warriors honor is not 
important--only empty victory.  See, gladiators, how GEORGE of CHAOS KIDS challenged 
down 18 points to BULKHEAD.  The Fates are not kind to the cowardly, as evidenced by 
the fact that GEORGE was beat by BULKHEAD.  And who can now doubt that BULKHEAD is a 
hardy opponent?   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Strange what qualities come forth in the face of 
certain doom.  SLOTH has the town astir with the news of its Dark Arena victory!  
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?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  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.--
