                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of FRATSFA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team MIDDLE WAY 8 was 
unseated this week as ASSASSIN NATION moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 4-1-2 record for the round.  Did only my eyes note the 4-1-2 record which 
ASSASSIN NATION managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will 
draw challengers!  CLUB FOOT caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as 
it skillfully bested FORGED BISHOP and was awarded 15 points in recognition.  In one 
of the week's more notable duels, RUTHLESS JAYWALKER put down XAVIER YANG, causing 
him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  Due to his absence and 
inability to defend the throne, DELTA CYGNI has lost the title of Duelmaster.  The 
city has turned out in honor of CLUB FOOT, for with its arena victory it may now lay 
claim to the highest position in the city!  No confirmation, but my sources claim 
that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons 
perhaps?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  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.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was 
that spent the better part of last week avoiding IRON CATHEDRAL.  Indeed it was 
OTTO'S PARTS.  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the 
knowledge that many fighters are after TENNESSE SMITH.  Watch your back!   
     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!   
     The girls are as pretty in FRATSFA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far 
off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is 
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

you for the entertaining fight! -- Tempest

Maiden Alloy -- Good fight!  Thanks for the learning! -- Fury

result.  Not a lot of options down here at the bottom, so won't be surprised if we 
fight yet again. -- Malevolence

The Middle Way -- Well, my Dark Arena fight didn't go as expected.  I was dominating 
the fight and then suddenly I wasn't.  Oh well, at least I still get promoted although 
I think I might be retired now. -- Mayhem

Mayhem -- Weapons breaking are Bad, but you lucked out in being graduated before your 
Dark Arena fight. -- the Middle Way

Tempest -- Thanks for the skills. -- Xavier Yang
