                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of FRATSFA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 
record which MIDDLE WAY 8 managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a 
record will draw challengers!  FERNY ROSS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested BANDED ACOLYTE and was awarded 15 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, FERNY ROSS put down BANDED 
ACOLYTE, causing him to lose 10 points of recognition in the process.  Due to hers 
absence and inability to defend the throne, DENEB has lost the title of Duelmaster.  
The city has turned out in honor of FERNY ROSS, for with his arena victory he 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?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In FRATSFA "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  FRATSFA, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the 
names of thy guilds is FLOWER GIRLS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the 
weekly duels.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to 
find any of IRON CATHEDRAL last week.  Busy avoiding FLOWER GIRLS?  Mighty fighters 
cannot but expect competition from those below.  TENNESSE SMITH take warning!  You 
have more than a few enemies in FRATSFA.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a 
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
