                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly VEASTIAN games.  Not for nothing has PRINCE JACKSON in 
the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat 
skill yet again.  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this 
week, the whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 7!   
     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 VEASTIAN these days is THE FAMILY.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was 
that spent the better part of last week avoiding THE FAMILY.  Indeed it was 
SUPERHEROES!.  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  
ELDARRAN take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in VEASTIAN.  A match that 
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that XARGOTH posted a 
challenge against the more highly recognized BITT BETRO.  The results, you ask?  
Well, the firebrand XARGOTH overcame BITT BETRO.  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.  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 VEASTIAN.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires 
of a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember - the pen 
is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Prince Jackson -- Like I wanted the title.  As if!  Nothing but trouble.  Might as
well paint a target on your armor as be duelmaster.  Well, myabe not in a little
arena like this, but generally, yeah, that's what I hear. -- Bitt Betro

Eldarran -- I just wanted to share my greater knowledge of how to lose with grace and
dispatch.  You're a good student that way. -- Senjiro

And two-one against standbys.  This could be worse. -- the rest of the Family

Our congratulations to Prince Jackson. -- Jorja and The Family

Umber Conn III -- I didn't think we fought long enough to learn anything. -- Xargoth

you from now on. -- Marius

Well, I didn't.  Now I'm back to befuddle and frustrate you with my senseless
ramblings.  I look forward to reconnecting with all my old friends and enemies alike.
