                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of MORDANT!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  POLYMER caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested BLACK BONKER and was awarded 20 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, POLYMER put down 
BLACK BONKER, causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the process.  Due to 
hers absence and inability to defend the throne, ABYSSINIAN has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail 
GRASSCUTTER, Duelmaster of MORDANT!  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.  MORDANT, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of thy 
guilds is LOW ROAD 3, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  
Apparently the stalwarts of SWEORDMASTERS 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?  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune 
but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  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

Assur -- Thank you.  If any of your Morals care to return and assist, I will meet
them in the Alleys and show them the ropes.  And the chains. -- Random Maniac

White Lightning -- Silly bugger.  It's the red stuff that's dangerous. -- Masked
Murderer

Abyssinian -- I hate cats.  People talk about how CLEAN they are, but I know better,
I see them in the alleys.  Not a pretty sight... or scent. -- Random Maniac

Ha!  I scotched--and irished, as well--that Snake!  She won't come sneaking around MY
daughter.  Or my son, either. -- Shotgun Daddy
P.S.  Parenthood is exhausting.  You have to be constantly on watch.

I did NOT need the Daddy stirring up Silisa the Snake, dammit. -- Cereal Killer
P.S.  She eats EGGS for breakfast.  No fiber, moral or otherwise.

Nobody's going to garrote ME in an alley, and I won't wait for the Maniac to deal
with him, either. -- Black Bonker

Lot of back and forth between us and the standbys today.  I didn't need that dumb
Bonker getting Raffi the Garrote all stirred up. -- Erbin Parnan

Mad Mannequin is actually almost... charming. -- Allana Lorimer

This "Silisa the Snake" really is an objectionable woman.  I hear she was caught
trying to poison a "client," one of the high-ups in the City Guard, and that's why
she's in the arena now.  That argues a lack of subtlety, a poisoner shouldn't get
caught. -- Chelsea Noren

Boa -- Damn, I thought I was going to get a chance at feathers. -- Delise Orm

I suppose I should have some sympathy for the Caeran Slave, but I find it hard to
come by. -- Beltran Moss
