                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of NIANIA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always 
around the corner!  Witness how this week DOLI CAPAX went 2-1-1 to move up 3 in the 
rankings.  HARRY STONE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested COOL RUN-IN and was awarded 18 points in recognition.  In one of 
the week's more notable duels, HARRY STONE put down COOL RUN-IN, causing him to lose 
7 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has MAMBA 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.  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. 
CHRISTINE SULLIVAN take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in NIANIA.   
     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!  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till next we 
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
