                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of TRICORUS!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team VENTURE BROS. was 
unseated this week as PANSY DIVISION moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 1-0-0 record for the round.  GALDOR O'HARE caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SGT. HATRED and was awarded 22 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, SALMGEDAN put down DR. 
ORPHEUS, causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the process.  Not for 
nothing has MANNY LEHMAN 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.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Perhaps even the strong cannot escape the vagaries 
of this world.  This week arena veteran SGT. HATRED was slain, despite a 17-11-0 
record.  This week's duel proved deadly to SGT. HATRED as he fell to the more 
renowned warrior, GALDOR O'HARE.  How will VENTURE BROS. find revenge?  Fate is a 
fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the 
victorious.  Remember this!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  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

if someone comes along with more money? -- Windsong

Dr. Orpheus -- I can't stand music.  It's a phobia. -- Skalvord
