                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ERINIKA!  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 VELA went 0-1-0 to move up 8 in the 
rankings.  EDGAR DETOUR caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested THE USEROUS MERCHANT and was awarded 19 points in recognition.  In 
one of the week's more notable duels, FAREN END put down POLARIS AUSTRALIS, causing 
him to lose 4 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has ADAM 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!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city ERINIKA.   
     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 ERINIKA 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 we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks 
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- 
Zontani Sharp Eyes
