                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ROCANIS games.  Former top team TREXTRAS was unseated 
this week as HARD TIME moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 2-1-0 
record for the round.  Did only my eyes note the 3-1-0 record which CREDIT managed to 
post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!  TITLE MAX 
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested BLOODY 
PEASANT and was awarded 15 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable 
duels, LOVING IT put down LOST SOULS, causing it to lose 7 points of recognition in 
the process.  Not for nothing has SUPERMAX in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's 
throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  Heed this!  A seer has 
warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  Just 
remember...5 or 7!   
     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 ROCANIS these days is CREDIT.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of KNIGHTS OF NI are catching the 
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  AMEX take warning!  
You have more than a few enemies in ROCANIS.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  LANGOLIERS has sworn to take up religion upon 
living to tell of hers recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors.  A rare thing indeed! 
My hearty congratulations SIR GAWAINE, for thy revenge upon AMEX, slayer of thy 
fallen comrade.  Next time it will know better, eh?  Dark alleys may hide both 
secrets and assassins.  In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep 
vigil always!   
     The girls are as pretty in ROCANIS 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 we meet 
again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a 
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
