                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of JURINE!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  My praise to DEATHRATTLE for their 4-1-0 
week this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  
SHELOB caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested 
CAPTURED ORC and was awarded 14 points in recognition.  Not for nothing has OPERA IS 
GREAT in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven 
his 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!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  JURINE, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is MEDAL OF HONOR G10, a guild shunned and 
avoided by many in the weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of LOTR 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 ZEUS BERTRAM.  Watch your back!  I can not but mention with 
disdain the name of EOWYN who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 12 
points below in the rankings.  I thought EOWYN showed great skill and promise when 
she lost to ANNIE BODY.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  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 JURINE 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:  a fool flies into 
a rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani 
Sharp Eyes
