SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of KATI-TEI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. My praise to WANDERERS for their
4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of
notice! THE HAND OF DOG caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested DUST DEVIL and was awarded 23 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, THE HAND OF DOG put down DUST DEVIL, causing him to lose
17 points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of THE
HAND OF DOG, 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 KATI-TEI 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 KATI-TEI these days is THE PLAGUE. At least, most blades in town are
looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of DA DOG POWNDAZ 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. DUST DEVIL take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in KATI-TEI. A match that raised a few
eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that AKITA posted a challenge against the
more highly recognized GAY DECEIVER. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand
AKITA was defeated by GAY DECEIVER. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of
steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
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 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
