                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly TALCAMA games.  Former top team SEA DOGS was unseated 
this week as CENTER FOR OLDS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 
2-3-0 record for the round.  Did only my eyes note the 3-1-1 record which SHEPHERDS 
managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!  
BARNEY caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested 
HELLFIRE and was awarded 13 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable 
duels, CARBONATED MILK put down MEOUSA, causing her to lose 4 points of recognition 
in the process.  Not for nothing has JAMESON in the past laid claim to the 
Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  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 TALCAMA.  TALCAMA, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of thy 
guilds is CENTER FOR OLDS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  
Apparently the stalwarts of RYAN'S HENCHMEN are catching the bulk of jests down at 
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  For some warriors honor 
is not important--only empty victory.  See, gladiators, how A'S SPECIAL BLEND of 
SHEPHERDS challenged down 18 points to DOC TURTLE.  The weight of the challenge fell 
hard upon DOC TURTLE and predictably she was defeated by A'S SPECIAL BLEND.  This is 
how to arouse the anger of an entire guild!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the 
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in TALCAMA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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
