                                      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 MENTOR DEMENTOR was 
unseated this week as THE RUNAROUND moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot 
with a 2-2-0 record for the round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around 
the corner!  Witness how this week THE RUNAROUND went 2-2-0 to move up 3 in the 
rankings.  SEDAN OF BAN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested VENOMOUS CONCUBINE and was awarded 8 points in recognition.  Not 
for nothing has GENERAL PATTERN in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, 
and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  Would you believe that over 
half of the old women in NIANIA seem to feel that they could fight better than you 
gladiators?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city NIANIA.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  THE RUNAROUND is feared.  This much I can say.  If you 
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of MENTOR 
DEMENTOR last week.  Busy avoiding THE RUNAROUND?   
     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 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
