                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of NIANIA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team U PAY I SLAY 2 was 
unseated this week as THE RUNAROUND moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 4-1-1 record for the round.  My praise to THE RUNAROUND for their 4-1-1 week 
this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  
GENERAL PATTERN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested ODEM and was awarded 16 points in recognition.  Not for nothing has 
OOZING MY MIND in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week it's 
proven its combat skill yet again.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the 
top team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  My sources at DELINQUENTZ stable claim they've 
never seen the guild bitterer.  This as a result of the untimely demise of ODEM.  
Beware GENERAL PATTERN!  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 NIANIA 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
