                                      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.  Former top team LAZY SUNDAY was 
unseated this week as WANDERERS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 
5-0-0 record for the round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the 
corner!  Witness how this week ADVENTURE TIME 3 went 2-0-0 to move up 3 in the 
rankings.  My praise to WANDERERS for their 5-0-0 week this time out.  Indeed, it was 
a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  WINGS IN SUNLIGHT caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested THE HAMILTONS and was 
awarded 24 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, WINGS IN 
SUNLIGHT put down THE HAMILTONS, causing him to lose 16 points of recognition in the 
process.  Most watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on LATE AFTERNOON 
as he bore arms against the challenge of reigning Duelmaster YELLOW BRICK TOAD.  The 
city has turned out in honor of LATE AFTERNOON, for with his arena victory he may now 
lay claim to the highest position in the city!  No confirmation, but my sources claim 
that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons 
perhaps?   
     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 MEDAL OF HONOR H3, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the 
weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of HELPLESS ANIMALS are catching the bulk of 
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Loose talk 
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters 
are after LATE AFTERNOON.  Watch your back!   
     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!   
     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 we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks 
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

Two-three yet again, and the new "guy" got bitten by a snake.  Ha!  What is Neptr, by
the way?  We thought it was something to do with a flower and honey, until we got a
closer look.  It's a golem!  Something to do with, um, artificialy insemination of
flowers?  That has a nasty sound to it, and you KNOW It's Not Nice to Fool Mother
Nature.  We could be facing real trouble here! -- Wings in Sunlight
