                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of FRATSFA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  STRAHD caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BLADED ZEALOT and was awarded 24 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, STRAHD put down 
BLADED ZEALOT, causing her to lose 19 points of recognition in the process.  This 
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail BLEYS, Duelmaster of 
FRATSFA!  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights 
without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city FRATSFA.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in FRATSFA 
these days is IRON CATHEDRAL.  At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid 
them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any 
of THE CHOSEN ONES last week.  Busy avoiding IRON CATHEDRAL?   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  My condolences to IRON CATHEDRAL for 
their loss of a very promising warrior, TEMPLE ENFORCER.  TEMPLE ENFORCER went to 
doom before the arms of SPARTACUS, a warrior of THE CHOSEN ONES.  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?  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  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
