                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly FRATSFA games.  Former top team THE CHOSEN ONES was 
unseated this week as IRON CATHEDRAL moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 2-3-0 record for the round.  CLUB FOOT caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested STRAHD and was awarded 21 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, CLUB FOOT put down STRAHD, 
causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has 
TEMPER in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven 
hers 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!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In FRATSFA "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat 
in FRATSFA these days is INCARNATIONS.  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 INCARNATIONS.  Indeed it was IRON CATHEDRAL.  Loose 
talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many 
fighters are after ELLIS TATE.  Watch your back!  As a gladiator gets older, the icy 
grip of fear lays hold of hers heart.  True, BLADED ZEALOT?  Who could miss your 
"brave" challenge of ELLIS TATE?  The weight of the challenge fell hard upon ELLIS 
TATE and predictably he lost to BLADED ZEALOT.  This is how to arouse the anger of an 
entire guild!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  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?  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till next we 
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
