                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly CHIMLEVTAL games.  Former top team MILITARY MAYHEM was 
unseated this week as WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! moved up from 4th ranking to take the top 
spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round.  Fortune did not smile upon MILITARY MAYHEM 
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 THE OTHER ONES went 3-2-0 to move up 4 in the rankings.  Did only my eyes 
note the 4-1-0 record which WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! managed to post this round?  I don't 
doubt that such a record will draw challengers!  CUTTHROAT caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BROKEN GLASS and was awarded 23 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, CUTTHROAT put down 
BROKEN GLASS, causing him to lose 22 points of recognition in the process.  Who here 
was not present for the title fight this week as VILENESS boldly challenged OCTOPUS 
in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors?  The city has turned out in honor of 
VILENESS, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in 
the city!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in CHIMLEVTAL 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.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in CHIMLEVTAL these days is MILITARY MAYHEM.  At least, most blades in 
town are looking to avoid them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been 
hard pressed to find any of WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! last week.  Busy avoiding MILITARY 
MAYHEM?  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  DA ZAGAGNA 
take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in CHIMLEVTAL.  I can not but mention 
with disdain the name of TIRE IRON who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a 
full 11 points below in the rankings.  I thought TIRE IRON showed great skill and 
promise when it beat GANGES GAL.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Look no more for DUMBBELL in the arena or on the 
streets of CHIMLEVTAL.  Its fate was sealed in the Dark Arena.  Inevitable for one at 
11-8-1.  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!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  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

Whoa! Finally stumblin' around half with it after Helene put it to me 'n my blacksmith 
emporium. Um, ouch! Lit them fires. Back in business. Gotta get that there 60 back! -- 
Smithy

Octopus on top? Is this some kind of ocean jest? Salute, I guess. -- Smithy

Something about taking a baseball bat to a brawler seems right. Now I need to wipe the 
blood off that Louisville Slugger. -- Smithy

Ganges Gal, I would rather have repaired your flat and been rewarded for it (Oh, 
yeah!) but the devil made me do it. -- Tire Iron

Octopus -- Congrats for taking the throne ! It definitely was a great fight from you 
and a well-deserved win. No doubt you will graduate before me, but I still hope you 
get your invite asap so I can get another shot and give Belinda renewed inspiration 
for her reports. -- Da Zagagna

Vileness -- I would tend to think it might be sensible to start avoiding you.
