                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of TROCAR!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  SYNTH caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DARRIN HORROCKS and was awarded 23 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, KORILL SAI put down 
DAUGHTER'S BOYFRIEND, causing him to lose 4 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 DISSOLVABLE DIAPER itself.  Most watched of the fights this 
week, the spotlight was on ELM as he bore arms against the challenge of reigning 
Duelmaster DISSOLVABLE DIAPER.  Not for nothing has DISSOLVABLE DIAPER in the past 
laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week it's proven its combat skill yet 
again.  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights 
without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city TROCAR.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  BOOK OF THOMAS is feared.  This much I can say.  If you 
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of USELESS 
TOOLS last week.  Busy avoiding BOOK OF THOMAS?   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  My condolences to TRADERS OF TROCAR for their loss of a very 
promising warrior, DARRIN HORROCKS.  DARRIN HORROCKS went to doom before the arms of 
SYNTH, a warrior of PLANET 9.  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!  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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by 
the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
