                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly MURSKA games.  Former top team BUSY, BUSYTOWN was 
unseated this week as THE BEARS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 
2-0-1 record for the round.  Fortune did not smile upon FLIPPERS ARCADE this time out 
who this turn suffered a fall into 7th position in the wake of a 0-0-0 round.  
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness how this week 
PHILANTHROPISTS 3 went 0-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings.  FARON caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested KHALHUMS DWARF and was 
awarded 13 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, VETERAN 
MERCENARY put down BALIN, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. 
Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster OH OHLISH OMINAH challenged 
TAKE COVER last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne.  This time victory 
fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail TAKE COVER, Duelmaster of MURSKA!  Would 
you believe that over half of the old women in MURSKA 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.  MURSKA, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is CHILDREN OF LLYR, a guild shunned and avoided 
by many in the weekly duels.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it 
was that spent the better part of last week avoiding CHILDREN OF LLYR.  Indeed it was 
THE BEARS.  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  TAKE 
COVER take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in MURSKA.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  The warrior's path is harsh.  For 
mediocrity there is but one reward--death.  This past week BELGO, at 2-7-0, departed 
MURSKA forever.  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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise 
are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes

Oh Ohlish Ominah -- They tell me it's been a while since you were seen in these
parts, and then you pop up at the top.  Good work if you can get it.  And graduation,
as well!  Amazing, congratulations. -- Faron

Take Cover -- Do you ever plan on giving the covers BACK?  It gets cold here at
night. -- Cadal Coontz

Noreaster -- A final cold blow as you leave town?  (sigh)  Okay.  But you could have
taught me something! -- Kai

That Convicted Assassin is a tough little bugger.  I'm not surprised they convicted
him, I've seldom seen anyone more villainous.  But I'm surprised they caught him in
the first place.  He doesn't look like someone who would come easily. -- Balin

The One -- Okay, I'll bite.  The one what? -- Belgo

All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights!  If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light!  We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
DM 31, Attn: Timothias)!  Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down
"Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of
Light
