                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani 
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  BLACK FRIDAY caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested TALK-TO-DEATH and was 
awarded 16 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, THE OVEN 
BIRD put down HO CHANG, causing him to lose 1 points of recognition in the process.  
Although JO MING made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of 
victorious EDDIE GORDO.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has 
gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city JADE MOUNTAIN.   
     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?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  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

We salute the tourney participants, with a special nod for Deadly Force, champion, and 
Samurai, tourney victor.  Way to go. -- Sand Dancers

Eddie Gordo -- Are you left over from Holar's guard?  They were Lubanese.  We almost 
never see Lubanese here; some of the Hill people think you're demons. -- Jo Ming

Buffy -- Good thin you're not an actual zombie.  Jorja's got a THING about them. -- 
Stonecutter

Zander -- As a genderless golem you might actually BE a zombie.  I will chase you over 
the hills. -- Hound of the Hills

Faith -- Golems everywhere!  It's awful. -- Black Friday

The Guardsman was incapable of further combat.  Good thing he wasn't ambitious.  I 
think he's just got a couple of younger siblings to support. -- Ho Chang
