                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DWES EG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team FALLEN MASTERS was 
unseated this week as THE RULING CLASS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 3-2-0 record for the round.  THE BLACK LEAGUE bore the brunt of major assault 
on their standings this week as they dropped to 20th position as the result of going 
1-1-0!  WOMEN IN UNIFORM caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested CONCORKILL and was awarded 18 points in recognition.  In one of the 
week's more notable duels, WOMEN IN UNIFORM put down CONCORKILL, causing him to lose 
14 points of recognition in the process.  Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, 
Duelmaster WAR DUCHESS challenged WARHAWK last week in a match to decide the fate of 
the throne.  Although WARHAWK made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the 
reign of victorious WAR DUCHESS.  Informants "close" to the city champion have told 
me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In DWES EG "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when 
this week's challenge seeking began.  BIG STRONG MEN is feared.  This much I can say. 
If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of THE 
RULING CLASS last week.  Busy avoiding BIG STRONG MEN?  Loose talk at the arena has 
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after JEK 
PORKINS.  Watch your back!  BRICK must really be harboring a grudge against the 
FALLEN MASTERS guild!  Merciless, 18 challenged down JEK PORKINS points this week to 
duel with he.  Surprising everyone, JEK PORKINS defeated BRICK, earning 15 points of 
recognition in the process!  A knave's just desserts are the sweetest victory.  A 
match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that COMBAT KAISER 
posted a challenge against the more highly recognized CLOUDBURST.  The results, you 
ask?  Well, the firebrand COMBAT KAISER lost to CLOUDBURST.  Remember warriors, this 
is the discipline of steel.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  The warrior's path is harsh.  For mediocrity there 
is but one reward--death.  This past week OSPREAY, at 14-15-0, departed DWES EG 
forever.  This week's duel proved deadly to OSPREAY as he fell to the more renowned 
warrior, OSPREY.  How will FALLEN MASTERS find revenge?  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!   
     The girls are as pretty in DWES EG as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till next we 
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
