                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games.  BUD caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DOH DE PERE and was awarded 7 points 
in recognition.  Although VETERAN MERCENARY made a valiant effort, it did not suffice 
to topple the reign of victorious LIL LEGS.  Would you believe that over half of the 
old women in NIANIA seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In NIANIA "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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!  
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in NIANIA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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
