                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of VALAMANTIS!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  STRUCK caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested FRATSFA SLAVE and was awarded 15 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, DEADSPREAD put down 
ULYSSES COLLINS, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  Not 
for nothing has STRIKER FARCE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and 
this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  Would you believe that over half 
of the old women in VALAMANTIS seem to feel that they could fight better than you 
gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In VALAMANTIS "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when 
this week's challenge seeking began.  IZOMBIE is feared.  This much I can say.  
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part 
of last week avoiding IZOMBIE.  Indeed it was STRIKER FORCE.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  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
