                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ILLIS!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team ISLANDERS was unseated 
this week as BASHAHOLICS ANON moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 
2-1-0 record for the round.  Although SWORDGRAVE made a valiant effort, it did not 
suffice to topple the reign of victorious NO ONE WILL KNOW.  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 ILLIS these days is BASHAHOLICS ANON.  At least, most blades in town 
are looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of IMPROVED ILLUSION are 
catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the 
avoids.  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the 
knowledge that many fighters are after HARBOR SEAL.  Watch your back!  A match that 
raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that SUBSTITUTION posted a 
challenge against the more highly recognized HARBOR SEAL.  The results, you ask?  
Well, the firebrand SUBSTITUTION beat HARBOR SEAL.  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.  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 ILLIS as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far 
off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is 
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Hellpop -- You do realize, I hope that I'm only an incidental golem.  A fluke in the 
Commission offices.  I'm a real, born seal.  You should see me in the water. -- Harbor 
Seal

Substitution -- You still come on like a basher.  Does this work for you? -- Shoo-Cha

Titus Pullo -- Good.  You deserved that loss. -- Tom Bligh
P.S.  I thought of having you walk the plank, but the paperwork stopped me.  An 
environmental impact statement?  No way.

Brokenbone -- It happens, and I, personally, don't like it.  Let's not do that again. 
-- Oil Spill

Ragefire -- As a water-dweller, I have an aversion to fire.  Whether raging or not. -- 
Starfish
