                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly DULLENS games.  THE BEAKSTER caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GRAY BEAR and was awarded 19 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, THAT I DO SIR put 
down GRIM LAUGHTER, causing her to lose 10 points of recognition in the process.  The 
city has turned out in honor of ARROGANT BASTARD, for with its arena victory it may 
now lay claim to the highest position in the city!  Would you believe that over half 
of the old women in DULLENS seem to feel that they could fight better than you 
gladiators?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Many townsmen have begin to remark over 
the fact that after one more round of duels CARDOW HUNTERS' Bloodfeud against NIMBLE 
DANCER will have expired.  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the 
arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in DULLENS.  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
