                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DAYLA KIV!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team FEROCIOUS ANIMALS 
was unseated this week as SPROUT OF MY WAY! moved up from 4th ranking to take the top 
spot with a 3-0-0 record for the round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always 
around the corner!  Witness how this week SPROUT OF MY WAY! went 3-0-0 to move up 3 
in the rankings.  OFFICER OBTUSE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested DARSAL THE FALSE and was awarded 21 points in 
recognition.  The city has turned out in honor of MIGHTY MIKE, for with his arena 
victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!  No confirmation, 
but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  
Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in DAYLA KIV these days is FEROCIOUS ANIMALS.  At least, most blades in 
town are looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of SPROUT OF MY WAY! 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 ALDEN DENNY.  Watch your back!   
     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?  More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a 
stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of Alastari await me!  
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

Whoa! That round hurt! 1-4? Three of my animals (total FE = 9) fought three super 
experienced (total FE = 64) and ended up needing all the bandages in the infirmary. 
The other two fights were more competitive at 1-1. Pardon me while I send some 
Ferocious animals off to The Mailer. Those might just be easier fights. -- Lion Tamer

Turo Jaguarclaw, those teensy claws of yours couldn't penetrate my hard warthog skin! 
-- Warthog

Animals of the world unite! -- Lion Tamer

Mighty Mike -- I wish you wouldn't leave me confused.  We have to run the harvest, 
now, before it rains, and they won't trust me with a scythe when I'm confused.  Not 
since I tried to cut down the harvester next to me in the line. -- Jack Farmer

Mongoose -- I don't know why the arenamaster got on your case.  He's my uncle and we 
don't like snakes that much. -- Taran ten Salth

Skunk -- I can appreciate a good student who is also an attractive female.  That white 
streak in your hair is stunning. -- Loris ten Jole

Shrew -- You'd be easier to get along with if you weren't so critical and bossy. -- 
Alden Denny

Rosie -- Wind sprints for me. -- Halo Green

Rosie -- Palani is one of the "race" descriptors.  Basically physical appearance.  
Medium height to taller, stocky, fair skinned, brown hair and eyes, from the northern 
part of Lirith Kai, often of rural origin. "Palani" means farmer. -- Jorja
