                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly LIN TIRIAN games.  Former top team FAMOUS ARCHERS was 
unseated this week as SAND DANCERS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 4-1-2 record for the round.  FIELDER caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PUSHING DAISIES and was awarded 22 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, FIELDER put down 
PUSHING DAISIES, causing her to lose 4 points of recognition in the process.  
Although ARC D'WOOF made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of 
victorious WILLIAM TELL.  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 LIN TIRIAN.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  SAND DANCERS is feared.  This much I can say.  Methinks 
more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last 
week avoiding SAND DANCERS.  Indeed it was FAMOUS ARCHERS.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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?  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  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
