                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DWES EG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  The proverbial rising comet can only 
hope to compare with IFIWASUGIRLFRIEND!'s team record!  A 2-0-0 week and now a firm 
grasp on a 1st place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of ORIOLE 
MADNESS.  How else weeks like this one's 2-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 2nd 
team?  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with INK & STEEL X's team 
record!  A 2-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 4th place ranking.  I have begun to 
suspect trickery on the part of 11405G.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How 
else the sudden move to 9th team?  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to 
compare with WEATHER's team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 10th 
place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of THIRSTY THUGS 703.  
How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 12th team?  The 
proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with UNDERWORLD's team record!  A 
1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 13th place ranking.  My tutors were fond of 
telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week CAT SOUP went 
0-1-0 and fell 11 notches into 14th!  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of 
THIRSTY THUGS.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 
16th team?  CARNIVAL OF CHAOS bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this 
week as they dropped to 18th position as the result of going 1-2-0!  The proverbial 
rising comet can only hope to compare with LIGHT WEIGHTS' team record!  A 1-0-0 week 
and now a firm grasp on a 29th place ranking.  My tutors were fond of telling me that 
the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week BREIFCASE I went 0-1-0 and fell 
11 notches into 30th!  BRAIN FOOD 26 bore the brunt of major assault on their 
standings this week as they dropped to 32nd position as the result of going 0-1-0!  I 
have begun to suspect trickery on the part of TECH 9.  How else weeks like this one's 
1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 33rd team?  The proverbial rising comet can only 
hope to compare with TWO TIMERS' team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 
36th place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of SEINFELD.  How 
else weeks like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 38th team?  My tutors 
were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week IN 
SHINOLA went 0-2-0 and fell 34 notches into 40th!  FEAR FACTORY II bore the brunt of 
major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 53rd position as the 
result of going 0-2-0!  HELLBOUND caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as it skillfully bested AGONY GIGGLE and was awarded 17 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, GRIM DEMISE put down MIRED, 
causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  This time victory fell 
to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail TEMPE TC!, Duelmaster of DWES EG!  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 DWES EG "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat 
in DWES EG these days is LIGHT WEIGHTS.  At least, most blades in town are looking to 
avoid them.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the 
better part of last week avoiding LIGHT WEIGHTS.  Indeed it was CAT SOUP.  Loose talk 
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters 
are after WASATCH.  Watch your back!  For some warriors honor is not important--only 
empty victory.  See, gladiators, how HELLGUARD of UNDERWORLD challenged down 17 
points to WASATCH.  The weight of the challenge fell hard upon WASATCH and 
predictably he was bested by HELLGUARD.  This is how to arouse the anger of an entire 
guild!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Strange what qualities come forth in the 
face of certain doom.  RISEA has the town astir with the news of hers Dark Arena 
victory!  Rite of Bloodfeud must forever be reserved for teams with honor.  Witness 
DWES EG!  I AM SUCK has failed to revenge the slaying of fallen BULVI.  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

     Zeb Karan around the big table.  Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and 
stared at each other:  arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and 
infirmarians, even the maintenance crew.  This was not the first time they'd met like 
this, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
     "So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked.  "Less than seven years since they 
closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?"
     "Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out.  "And it's necessary.  
There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're 
too full of team records."
     "Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested.  
Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the 
arenamaster of Shadowspire.  But no one wanted to tell him to leave.
     "We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested.  
"We can't burn RECORDS."
     "I could," Rinvar said.
     "But you won't."  Voth pinned him with a stare.  "Don't stir up trouble for its 
own sake, Jame."
     Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender.  "I'll be good, Lew."
     "When are they shutting down Blackstone?"
     "To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers 
want to pay the fees.  This week.  Maybe next week.  Hard to be sure, when you travel 
from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect.  But probably this 
week.  Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82):  no new teams in, but the old ones can 
recruit new members.  New teams will go to the new place--"  Zeb Karan cast a look of 
enquiry around the room.
     "Jasper Gulch," a steward said.
     "Right.  New teams will go to Jasper Gulch.  I'm not sure the day for it, probably 
'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule.  A regular two-week cycle.  Teams can be 
transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT."
     Voth nodded.  "We can work with this."
     "Beats not working."
