                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team THAT SMELL was 
unseated this week as KILLER TUNES moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 2-3-0 record for the round.  Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which SAND 
DANCERS managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will draw 
challengers!  KURR LI caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested CITRUS and was awarded 25 points in recognition.  In one of the 
week's more notable duels, PORK SODA put down POPCORN, causing him to lose 14 points 
of recognition in the process.  Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster 
HEMORRHAGE Dark Arena Challenged STONESHATTER last week in a match to decide the fate 
of the throne.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as STONESHATTER killed the 
Duelmaster, HEMORRHAGE, leaving KILLER TUNES in mourning.  With bloody hand RESIN has 
ascended to the throne of champions.  Is he that one which is spoken of in the 
ancient texts?  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never 
fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In DAL SHANG "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.  KILLER TUNES is feared.  This much I can say.  
If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of 
BUMPER WISDOM last week.  Busy avoiding KILLER TUNES?  Loose talk at the arena has 
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after ROT.  
Watch your back!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  The warrior's path is harsh.  For mediocrity there is but one 
reward--death.  This past week CRACKERMAN, at 13-12-0, departed DAL SHANG forever.  
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?  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  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
