                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ARUAK CITY games.  COOTIE STARK caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BISON and was awarded 14 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, DANNIL LEWIN put 
down LOSER, causing it to lose 9 points of recognition in the process.  Due to hers 
absence and inability to defend the throne, EOWYN has lost the title of Duelmaster.  
This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail DUKE ROBILLARD, 
Duelmaster of ARUAK CITY!  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 ARUAK CITY "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.  THE BLUES 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 BULLDOGS 
last week.  Busy avoiding THE BLUES?  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and 
it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after DUKE ROBILLARD.  Watch 
your back!  A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that 
RED RAT posted a challenge against the more highly recognized DUKE ROBILLARD.  The 
results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand RED RAT was beat by DUKE ROBILLARD.  Remember 
warriors, this is the discipline of steel.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  MEZAR KURIN must hold silent, for this week he was humbled in the 
arena by a successful Bloodfeud won by WHITE FANG of COLORIFIC.  Hail WHITE FANG for 
thy victory!  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena there is 
only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     The girls are as pretty in ARUAK CITY as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  More than a sharp eye must I 
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of Alastari 
await me!  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
