                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly MORDANT games.  CKYNST OAF caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested HONOR and was awarded 21 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, CKYNST OAF put down HONOR, 
causing him to lose 19 points of recognition in the process.  Due to his absence and 
inability to defend the throne, BLACK has lost the title of Duelmaster.  This time 
victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail CHINA BULL, Duelmaster of 
MORDANT!  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights 
without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  Mighty fighters cannot but expect 
competition from those below.  RANDOM MANIAC take warning!  You have more than a few 
enemies in MORDANT.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  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 MORDANT 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a 
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Honesty -- An over-rated virtue, I believe.  At least, the verbal version.  The
ability to come up with a convincing lie at the drop of a hat or other random object
is the cornerstone of civilization. -- China Bull

Joy -- Wgat>  U;n bit gettubg tgus at akk, -- Ckynst Oaf

Honor -- Well, yes, I suppose, but it's mainly a matter of definition.  After all, my
honor compells me to go out and do something maniacal in a random alley every
Thursday at two hours before sunrise. -- Random Maniac
P.S.  And some days, that isn't easy at all.  Sometimes I have to stand in wait for
HOURS before a suitable, ah, subject comes along.  Not enough people frequent alleys.

     Then you're in the wrong alleys.

Slen Snotnose?  Bah.  A wuss.  A *slimy* wuss, which is worse.  So he's a worse wuss.
-- Little Bear

Bastard Son of Enoch -- You...! -- Flood Surfer
P.S.  Besides, your name is too long.

Arenamaster Kakar -- Well, true.  But those with clean fingernails are hiding MORE.
-- China Bull
