                                      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.  TAINTED SHUGENJA caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested JUSTINE and was awarded 
18 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, TIMMY TANGO put 
down BLADES, causing him to lose 10 points of recognition in the process.  Not for 
nothing has L H OSWALD in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this 
week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  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.  LIN TIRIAN, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is FAMOUS ARCHERS, a guild shunned and avoided 
by many in the weekly duels.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been 
hard pressed to find any of FURY'S EDGE last week.  Busy avoiding FAMOUS ARCHERS?  
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that 
many fighters are after EUSTACE.  Watch your back!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and 
assassins.  In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     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!  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
