                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani 
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team SAGITTA was 
unseated this week as SAND DANCERS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 3-2-0 record for the round.  YOAKUM BEDE caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested EDDIE GORDO and was awarded 19 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, YOAKUM BEDE put down EDDIE 
GORDO, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process.  The city has 
turned out in honor of GRUNGE GRRRL, for with hers arena victory she may now lay 
claim to the highest position in the city!  Would you believe that over half of the 
old women in JADE MOUNTAIN seem to feel that they could fight better than you 
gladiators?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  CRITICALS is feared.  This much I 
can say.  Apparently the stalwarts of ROCK CLUB are catching the bulk of jests down 
at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a 
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
