                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ZUWAYZA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  LADY BIRD JOHNSON caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested PERSISTENT BEGGAR and 
was awarded 16 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, RAMEX 
put down MOTHER GHEA NEWS, causing her to lose 7 points of recognition in the 
process.  Not for nothing has NEWT ROCKNE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's 
throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  Would you believe that 
over half of the old women in ZUWAYZA seem to feel that they could fight better than 
you gladiators?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city ZUWAYZA.  ZUWAYZA, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of thy 
guilds is SEINFELD, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  
Apparently the stalwarts of MAN OR BEAST? are catching the bulk of jests down at the 
challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Mighty fighters cannot but 
expect competition from those below.  DOTTLE take warning!  You have more than a few 
enemies in ZUWAYZA.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  I must report the passing of TRUE CRIME, veteran 
of many duels.  6-19-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no 
favorites.  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 ZUWAYZA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires 
of a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till we meet again, remember:  a 
turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its 
prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

It's TOO MUCH!  We went one-four, which was bad enough, but the win, the POPULARITY
LEADER, even, went to that LOSER, True Crime.  THERE is a true crime!  And all
because HE lucked out--or bribed the stewards!--and drew a standby to fight.  As the
