                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of LIN TIRIAN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  My praise to V IS FOR VIOLINS for 
their 3-0-0 week this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving 
of notice!  MELEE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it 
skillfully bested PUSHING DAISIES and was awarded 15 points in recognition.  In one 
of the week's more notable duels, MELEE put down PUSHING DAISIES, causing her to lose 
9 points of recognition in the process.  The city has turned out in honor of AMBUSH, 
for with hers arena victory she may now lay claim to the highest position in the 
city!  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights 
without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     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 LIN TIRIAN these days is V IS FOR VIOLINS.  At least, most blades in 
town are looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of FAMOUS ARCHERS are 
catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the 
avoids.  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  PUSHING 
DAISIES take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in LIN TIRIAN.  I cannot but 
express pride for the fearlessness of WRANGLE who cast caution to the winds and 
challenged WILLIAM TELL, a fighter 34 points higher.  The V IS FOR VIOLINS stable 
will be up late tonight, for indeed it was WRANGLE who claimed victory in the 
contest, ascending 35 in recognition!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune 
but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in LIN TIRIAN.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the 
spires of a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  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
