SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ILLIS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits always
around the corner! Witness how this week FAR TRAVELERS went 3-1-0 to move up 3 in
the rankings. JUDAS PRIEST caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
he skillfully bested SUPPORT GROUP and was awarded 116 points in recognition. In one
of the week's more notable duels, PURPLE HAZE put down IT'S NOT A PROBLEM, causing
him to lose 10 points of recognition in the process. Who here was not present for
the title fight this week as D'ARTAGNAN boldly challenged 12 STONES in order to
strive for the Duelmasters honors? Although D'ARTAGNAN made a valiant effort, it did
not suffice to topple the reign of victorious 12 STONES. Informants "close" to the
city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his
armor. Watch out!
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 ISLE OF SKYE. At least, most blades in town are
looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was
that spent the better part of last week avoiding ISLE OF SKYE. Indeed it was
BASHAHOLICS ANON. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.
MOSCOW MULE take warning! You have more than a few enemies in ILLIS.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ILLIS. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
The gladiator known as Pretty in Pink Johnson came into the guildhouse in a
state of excitement that sat oddly on his large battered face. "There are goats on
the lawn outside the Commission office!"
His teammate Slinky Silver raised a languid eyebrow. "So?"
"That means a name-change coming! I can finally change my name to Pinkerton and
get some respect!"
"As badly as you fight, who will respect you?" his teammate asked.
"With a new name, I will fight better, just wait, you'll see. Because I will
respect myself!"
Slinky shook his head. "Circular reasoning won't help. You need more
managerial attention."
"If my name isn't embarrassing, I'll GET more attention.
Slinky shook his head again. "You're expecting a lot of a couple of goats that
may have been hired to manage the landscaping."
