                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ROCANIS!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team MEN OF STEEL was 
unseated this week as TREXTRAS moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot with a 
4-1-0 record for the round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the 
corner!  Witness how this week TREXTRAS went 4-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings.  
SUPERMAX caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully 
bested LIMS KRIGMA and was awarded 21 points in recognition.  In one of the week's 
more notable duels, SUPERMAX put down LIMS KRIGMA, causing him to lose 12 points of 
recognition in the process.  The city has turned out in honor of LOCKLEAR, 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 ROCANIS 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.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  TREXTRAS is feared.  This much I 
can say.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the 
better part of last week avoiding TREXTRAS.  Indeed it was KNIGHTS OF NI.  Loose talk 
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters 
are after REGER.  Watch your back!  A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games 
this week, it seems that SIR GAWAINE posted a challenge against the more highly 
recognized VISA.  The results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand SIR GAWAINE bested VISA. 
Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  My sources at KNIGHTS OF NI stable claim 
they've never seen the guild bitterer.  This as a result of the untimely demise of 
SIR BOORS.  Beware AMEX!  Must the anguished spirit of BLACK KNIGHT toss forever in 
the grave unrevenged?  Against the code, ROO has escaped his deed unpunished by 
KNIGHTS OF NI!  SIR BOORS must hold silent, for this week he was humbled in the arena 
by a successful Bloodfeud won by AMEX of CREDIT.  Hail AMEX for thy victory!  Dark 
alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena there is only the 
brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in ROCANIS.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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
