                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly TOBIR games.  Warriors--remember that glory waits 
always around the corner!  Witness how this week TEMERE NOMEN 1 went 2-2-0 to move up 
3 in the rankings.  AVARICE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as 
it skillfully bested SLOW LANE BLUES and was awarded 12 points in recognition.  In 
one of the week's more notable duels, AVARICE put down SLOW LANE BLUES, causing her 
to lose 10 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?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Let all swords of the city take heed!  By law, 
ANYTHING GOES has but one remaining week to take their revenge upon CONQUISTADOR for 
the slaying of ANXIOUS.  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the 
arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in TOBIR.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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.-- 
Zontani Sharp Eyes
