                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of STORMCROWE!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  I have begun to suspect trickery on 
the part of WOB AFW.  How else weeks like this one's 4-0-0?  How else the sudden move 
to 2nd team?  CHRISTINA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she 
skillfully bested SHRIMP SCAMP and was awarded 26 points in recognition.  In one of 
the week's more notable duels, CHRISTINA put down SHRIMP SCAMP, causing him to lose 
24 points of recognition in the process.  This time out RASAM made its bid for the 
throne as it challenged EDGAR ALLAN POE in an all out contest of skill for possession 
of the title!  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail RASAM, 
Duelmaster of STORMCROWE!  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that 
he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In STORMCROWE "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat 
in STORMCROWE these days is ABATTOIR 5 BLADES.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of DARQUE FORCES 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.  KWITCHERBICHON take 
warning!  You have more than a few enemies in STORMCROWE.  A match that raised a few 
eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that TOBIR BATTER posted a challenge 
against the more highly recognized URBAN LEGEND.  The results, you ask?  Well, the 
firebrand TOBIR BATTER won victory over URBAN LEGEND.  Remember warriors, this is the 
discipline of steel.  I can not but mention with disdain the name of MIRAGE who this 
week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 8 points below in the rankings.  I 
thought MIRAGE showed great skill and promise when it beat KWITCHERBICHON.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Some guilds are strict but few are as 
heartless as LEGENDS.  Witness, last turn they sent CHUPACABRA, a 4-0-0 fighter, to 
the Dark Arena!  Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms.  One thing is 
sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!   
     The girls are as pretty in STORMCROWE 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 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
