                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly MORYA games.  Fortune did not smile upon GURL ORCS B 
TUFF this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 8th position in the wake of a 
0-0-0 round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness 
how this week OTTO'S MECHANICS went 3-2-1 to move up 4 in the rankings.  JOTUN ARNE 
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested VETERAN 
MERCENARY and was awarded 15 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more 
notable duels, UNIBROW put down GHOST OF MORYA, causing him to lose 10 points of 
recognition in the process.  Who here was not present for the title fight this week 
as BAWNER THE PURE boldly challenged RABID YUPPIE in order to strive for the 
Duelmasters honors?  Although BAWNER THE PURE made a valiant effort, it did not 
suffice to topple the reign of victorious RABID YUPPIE.  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!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  BIG LAKE PURE is feared.  This 
much I can say.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to 
find any of OTTO'S MECHANICS last week.  Busy avoiding BIG LAKE PURE?  Loose talk at 
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters 
are after WEEP NO MORE.  Watch your back!  As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of 
fear lays hold of his heart.  True, GUS TANK?  Who could miss your "brave" challenge 
of STURDEVANT?  The weight of the challenge fell hard upon STURDEVANT and predictably 
he was subdued by GUS TANK.  This is how to arouse the anger of an entire guild!   
     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!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in MORYA.  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
