                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly JADE MOUNTAIN games.  I could not but notice the fine 
record for POSITIVE ALTERNATIVE (4-0-0) after their first round of combat.  May the 
gods of war favor you in JADE MOUNTAIN!  SCOTT caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SAI-KI THE PEGLEG and was awarded 15 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, SHIZARAN BLACKHEART 
put down JADE RING, causing him to lose 2 points of recognition in the process.  
Although SUNSET THUNDER made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign 
of victorious CORINTHIAN.  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 JADE MOUNTAIN "art" is a word that 
has long since passed from the language!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena 
there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     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

Jorja -- My team is here and will be for as long as I can pay them.  I'm going to try
to keep all the old Adantri arenas active, you'll see me in Daiyla Kiv soon and I'm
already in Dal Shang, Lin Tirian, and now here.  Look forward to sparring with you on
the sands again.  It's been too long. -- Zalgor Prigg, Positive Alternative

Corinthian -- So I got lazy and didn't practice as much as I could've, big deal.  You
guys are going to be gone again any day now, just tourney timing, right?  Why should
I bust my buns?  Who wants busted buns? -- Jaginru

Wicker -- That rain gets into your bones, doesn't it?  If wicker has bones.
Whatever.  And then you begin to get, I dunno, mildew?  Instead of rheumatism.  Don't
know which would be worse. -- Bearstone Kai

Abita -- You know what they say, Abita betta butta made the bitta batta betta.  Or
something like that. -- Korto Lu

And two wins over standbys.
