                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly TROCAR games.  Warriors--remember that glory waits 
always around the corner!  Witness how this week BASH BROS BATHROOM went 2-0-0 to 
move up 3 in the rankings.  IMAI caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as she skillfully bested VENOMOUS CONCUBINE and was awarded 22 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, LEGION put down LARKIN SAND, 
causing her to lose 17 points of recognition in the process.  As is fitting, the most 
sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster 
OAK himself.  The city has turned out in honor of URDNOT WREX, for with his arena 
victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!  Would you believe 
that over half of the old women in TROCAR seem to feel that they could fight better 
than you gladiators?   
     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 TROCAR these days is MASS EFFECT.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of BASH BROS BATHROOM are catching 
the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  
     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 TROCAR as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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

We salute the tourney participants. -- Traders of  Trocar

Fir -- You're not at all like petting a cat. -- Korill Sai
P.S.  Rather like being pronged by a cat, though.

Bathtub Ring -- I wouldn't get into YOUR bathtub. -- Dilian Hallie

Imai -- At least you taught me a skill. -- Small Tamer
P.S.  But only one compared to the five I taught you.  A little unbalanced there.

Fallen Towel Rack -- I picked it back up, and just happened to have a suitable screw in my pocket. -- Larkin Sand

Bay -- You're flourishing like a green bay tree. -- Da'ud Sheen
