                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly FRATSFA games.  JOAN OF ARC caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested MOLOC and was awarded 23 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, BLADED ZEALOT put down 
XEENA, causing her to lose 13 points of recognition in the process.  Unwilling to 
wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster BLEYS Dark Arena Challenged THE PINK JESTER 
last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne.  Although THE PINK JESTER made 
a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious BLEYS.  No 
confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using 
magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city FRATSFA.  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but 
confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after SPARTACUS.  Watch your back!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Strange what qualities come forth in the face of certain doom.  
BLEYS has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena victory!  Perhaps even the 
strong cannot escape the vagaries of this world.  This week arena veteran MOLOC was 
slain, despite a 6-4-1 record.  Walk proud, warriors of IRON CATHEDRAL!  By striking 
down SPARTACUS you have avenged the honor of your dead.  Your virtue is known to all 
in FRATSFA.  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 FRATSFA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires 
of a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  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

Xeena -- (grimacing in pain)  Chosen for what? -- Ellis Tate

Spartacus -- An ill-omened name.  The first one to bear it died like a dog. -- Tonio 
Salagaza
P.S.  Not that dogs have a special way to die.  Dead is dead.

Zipacna -- At least it was fast and non-fatal. -- Vern Wulf

Osiris -- (startled look)  You're female?  Does your wife Isis know? -- Tennessee 
Smith

That standby was defective.  He WON THE FIGHT.  He isn't supposed to do that, is he?
