                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of MORDANT!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team BOOZE was unseated 
this week as ONE HIT WONDERS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 
1-3-0 record for the round.  Did only my eyes note the 3-1-0 record which HOMICIDAL 
MANIACS managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will draw 
challengers!  DIONNE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she 
skillfully bested FUNKYTOWN and was awarded 21 points in recognition.  In one of the 
week's more notable duels, DIONNE put down FUNKYTOWN, causing him to lose 17 points 
of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has BLACK in the past laid claim to 
the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  
Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without 
pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city MORDANT.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  CLUELESS is feared.  This much I can say.  Apparently the 
stalwarts of ONE HIT WONDERS are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging 
board for their large share of the avoids.   
     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!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in MORDANT.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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

thought of you as an ally.  My mistake. -- Random Maniac

Josh -- Ha!  You think you can defeat me on a diet of Sugar Frosted Pastel Soy
Flakes?  As if!  That is not a breakfast for champions. -- Cereal Killer

In My House -- But--  Madam, please!  I meant no personal offense, but I was *sure* I
saw my designated victim darting into your--  Madam!  You are AT RISK while he's in
there!  If you'll just let me--  Ouch! -- Masked Murderer

The Sauce -- Huh, people think that's an excuse!  It isn't.  Nobody messes with my
little girl, sauced or not! -- Shotgun Daddy
