                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of RIZTAB!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team DREAMERS was unseated this 
week as NEON TERMINUS moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot with a 3-2-0 
record for the round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  
Witness how this week NEON TERMINUS went 3-2-0 to move up 3 in the rankings.  
ANAXIMANDER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully 
bested ALPHA & OMEGA and was awarded 18 points in recognition.  In one of the week's 
more notable duels, XAMOT put down VENDITO, causing him to lose 16 points of 
recognition in the process.  Although MORE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice 
to topple the reign of victorious DAGGER LAMENT.  No confirmation, but my sources 
claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed 
weapons perhaps?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city RIZTAB.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Perhaps even the strong cannot escape the vagaries of this world.  
This week arena veteran ALPHA & OMEGA was slain, despite a 11-7-0 record.  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!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  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.--
