                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of KOLACT!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team THE MENTORS was unseated 
this week as JAY-Z moved up from 2nd 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 ORL 2013V went 1-0-0 to move up 3 in the rankings.  This time 
out HILLARY made hers bid for the throne as she challenged SALTY DOG in an all out 
contest of skill for possession of the title!  This time victory fell to the grasp of 
the usurper.  All hail HILLARY, Duelmaster of KOLACT!  No confirmation, but my 
sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  
Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city KOLACT.  KOLACT, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of thy 
guilds is JAY-Z, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  Methinks 
more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last 
week avoiding JAY-Z.  Indeed it was VIKINGS.  Loose talk at the arena has reached my 
ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after HASTIGHET.  Watch 
your back!  A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that 
SAUSAGE STUFFING posted a challenge against the more highly recognized YOUNG HOV.  
The results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand SAUSAGE STUFFING subdued YOUNG HOV.  
Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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 KOLACT as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far 
off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is 
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
