                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly KATI-TEI games.  N'KAI caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DANCING SHADOW and was awarded 25 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, N'KAI put down 
DANCING SHADOW, causing him to lose 21 points of recognition in the process.  This 
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail CIRCE, Duelmaster of 
KATI-TEI!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in KATI-TEI seem to feel 
that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In KATI-TEI "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  KATI-TEI, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the 
names of thy guilds is WANDERERS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly 
duels.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any 
of THE PLAGUE last week.  Busy avoiding WANDERERS?  Loose talk at the arena has 
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after STRAY 
CAT.  Watch your back!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the 
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     The girls are as pretty in KATI-TEI as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a 
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

So far, so good. -- Top Elf Liquor

How come the Dark Arena gets all the meals?  Shewish Buffet is unfair to active
gladiators! -- the Wanderers

Jack Daniels -- We need to work on the choreography.  I could have sworn you were
supposed to recline gracefully while I made a spectacular leap. -- Dancing Shadow

That was a Khalhums Dwarf?  He was so hairy and unkempt, I thought he was a Dog! --
Stray Cat

Darned Cat went and stirred up the Khalhums Dwarf, and *I* caught the backlash. --
Loosefoot Larue

That Ruthless Jaywalker just TRAMPLED my rose bushes.  He has no respect! -- Rambling
Rose
P.S.  And really good shin-guards, those were THORNY roses, you know.

Santa? -- I couldn't let you go to the tourney with an undefeated record.  That would
be tempting Fate, and Fate has entirely too much of an edge as it is. -- Gay Deceiver
