                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of KATI-TEI!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Warriors--remember that glory waits 
always around the corner!  Witness how this week HELL'S KITCHEN went 2-3-0 to move up 
4 in the rankings.  UNHOLY AIOLI caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested WEARY WALTER and was awarded 16 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, GOOGLE MAP put down FANTASTIC 
FOE, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process.  Most watched of 
the fights this week, the spotlight was on RUNNIK as he bore arms against the 
challenge of reigning Duelmaster CEYLON.  Not for nothing has CEYLON in the past laid 
claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill yet 
again.  Would you believe that over half of the old women in KATI-TEI seem to feel 
that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city KATI-TEI.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  OLD SCHOOL is feared.  This much I can say.  If you didn't 
look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of ADVENTURE TIME 3 
last week.  Busy avoiding OLD SCHOOL?  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears 
and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after RUNNIK.  Watch your 
back!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in KATI-TEI.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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
