                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of MURSKA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  My praise to HOUSE JHEREG for their 3-0-0 
week this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!  
BO GOUGE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully 
bested WALRUS FACE and was awarded 16 points in recognition.  In one of the week's 
more notable duels, BO GOUGE put down WALRUS FACE, causing him to lose 11 points of 
recognition in the process.  Although DELYSSA made a valiant effort, it did not 
suffice to topple the reign of victorious LUDENS.  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.  MURSKA, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is SATAN'S SWARM, a guild shunned and avoided by 
many in the weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of HOUSE JHEREG 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.  MINOR take warning!  
You have more than a few enemies in MURSKA.  A match that raised a few eyebrows at 
the games this week, it seems that ORI OF SMALLCLIFF posted a challenge against the 
more highly recognized MINOR.  The results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand ORI OF 
SMALLCLIFF bested MINOR.  Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.  I can 
not but mention with disdain the name of MAGISTER who this week posted a challenge to 
a warrior a full 10 points below in the rankings.  I thought MAGISTER showed great 
skill and promise when he won victory over TERRIBLE TARANTULA.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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!  
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in MURSKA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of 
a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember:  a fool 
flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by the same thing only 
once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
