                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of VALAMANTIS!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 
record which MIDDLE WAY 10 managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a 
record will draw challengers!  LENDIS OHLM caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested BONY TONY and was awarded 24 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, LENDIS OHLM put down BONY 
TONY, causing him to lose 21 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing 
has CLOWN CONFETTI in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week 
he's proven his combat skill yet again.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that 
the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?  
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city VALAMANTIS.  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but 
confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after BILL DING.  Watch your back!  A 
match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that A-4 posted a 
challenge against the more highly recognized BILL DING.  The results, you ask?  Well, 
the firebrand A-4 was beat by BILL DING.  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.  Some say a warrior is judged by the way 
he bears arms.  One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!  
     The girls are as pretty in VALAMANTIS 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

Another one-four.  I got the only win, and some of my teammates have been quick to
point out (quicker than to hit out at their opponents!) that I also was the only one
to fight a standby.  What can I say?  It's a knack.  The handicapper loves me. --
