                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly FRATSFA games.  OHIO JONES caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SYMBAL and was awarded 21 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, OHIO JONES put down SYMBAL, 
causing her to lose 53 points of recognition in the process.  Although XENO YOLE made 
a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious BROTHER 
TUNGSTEN.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their 
position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  FRATSFA, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is OTTO'S PARTS, 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 THE BARRIO last week.  Busy avoiding OTTO'S PARTS?   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  I must report the passing of COPPERED TEMLAR, veteran of many 
duels.  5-6-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites.  
Cruelly, CABRON of THE BARRIO has slain the lesser ranked COPPERED TEMLAR.  Word 
already flies around town that IRON CATHEDRAL plans a bloodfeud!  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 FRATSFA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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
