                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly TOBIR games.  Former top team THIS MODERN WORLD was 
unseated this week as TEMERE NOMEN 1 moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot 
with a 2-1-0 record for the round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around 
the corner!  Witness how this week TEMERE NOMEN 1 went 2-1-0 to move up 3 in the 
rankings.  CANCEL MAN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested SLOW LANE BLUES and was awarded 20 points in recognition.  In one 
of the week's more notable duels, ROCK OF AGES put down PALE KING, causing him to 
lose 8 points of recognition in the process.  Although CONQUISTADOR made a valiant 
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious SILENT MAJORITY.  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 TOBIR.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers 
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a 
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
