                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of MALCORN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team TERMINUS was 
unseated this week as GREENWARDENS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 3-2-1 record for the round.  SKITTLES caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested HONEYSUCKLE and was awarded 17 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, KUNG-FU MASTER put 
down SOURWOOD, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process.  This 
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail DEANO, Duelmaster of 
MALCORN!  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the 
whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 7!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city MALCORN.  MALCORN, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of thy 
guilds is GREENWARDENS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  
Apparently the stalwarts of MARKS PARTY are catching the bulk of jests down at the 
challenging board for their large share of the avoids.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and 
assassins.  In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  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

Everywhere we see mention of Pot of Gold, the popular, the favorite!  Okay, not the
favorite, but he might as well be!  The adulation of gold is the beginning of
trouble!  Repent and return to the natural and proper reverence of the Trees! -- the
Greenwardens

I don't know where that came from, it just popped out. -- Jorja

Quasil -- I won't say that losing to you was a pleasure, that would be untrue.  But
it does seem to have gotten rid of that lingering malaise.  What possessed me to eat
a pizza with black olives on it? -- Sourwood

Deano -- I was never much for partying, although I'm in favor of general cheer and
goodwill. -- Honeysuckle
P.S.  Jorja seems to be disapproving of you, because, she says, someone of your name
"fixed" her carriage.  Badly, one supposes.  I don't see how that can be your fault,
though; she doesn't keep a carriage around here.

Havoc -- A wise decision on your part.  You needed the loss for balance and
protective coloration.  And it is good that you went for it now, just looking at
things, I would say it won't be long before you will find yourself unable to achieve
a loss so easily and quickly. -- Bobcat

Morgue -- This conflict between us is wrong, we should be working together! -- Silver
Ghost
P.S.  And I really don't feel that I'm a dwarf.  I don't like to be underground at
all.

Lepidus -- A gory, crazy March hare.  Just what I needed.  Oh, well.  Good fight. --
Sundog
