                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games.  Former top team LOST SOULS II was 
unseated this week as DUNGEON CELL moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 2-2-0 record for the round.  BRAVO caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested BARRUK and was awarded 20 points in recognition.  
In one of the week's more notable duels, BRAVO put down BARRUK, causing him to lose 5 
points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has CUTPURSE 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 NIANIA.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in NIANIA these 
days is DUNGEON CELL.  At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.  
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part 
of last week avoiding DUNGEON CELL.  Indeed it was YELLOWSTONE YOGIS.  Loose talk at 
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters 
are after PETER NETLEY.  Watch your back!   
     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!   
     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 next we meet remember:  a fool flies into a 
rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani

The Khalhums Dwarf?  Out of my class.  But at least it wasn't a one-sided fight. --
Peter Netley

The Userous Merchant is a pig.  I know the Commission claims he's a dwarf, but that's
untrue.  He's a pig. -- Barruk

Bad Penny, er, Brad Penny, I mean -- I could've done without that, hotshot. --
Pikestave

Bravo -- Ouch.  And everyone in the stands was shouting your name, too. -- Minnow

That was incredibly embarrassing.  I knew I could never live down having been killed
by the Embezzling Scribe, so I just... died.  Easiest way to handle it. -- Androkles

P.S.  I hear I'm being replaced by an eel.  Glad I'm not staying around!
