                                      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.  STUNNING INLAY caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested TAINTED SHUGENJA and was 
awarded 17 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, STUNNING 
INLAY put down TAINTED SHUGENJA, causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the 
process.  As is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this 
week was none other than Duelmaster LEATHERBOUND himself.  Who here was not present 
for the title fight this week as BRISTOW boldly challenged LEATHERBOUND in order to 
strive for the Duelmasters honors?  Not for nothing has LEATHERBOUND in the past laid 
claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet 
again.  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the 
whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 7!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In LIN TIRIAN "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat 
in LIN TIRIAN these days is HOWLIN CASE.  At least, most blades in town are looking 
to avoid them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to 
find any of PERRY COUNTY last week.  Busy avoiding HOWLIN CASE?   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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?  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
