                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly CHIMLEVTAL games.  There were bitter words at JUST 
DESSERTS' guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 
7th.  Dark Arena anyone?  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the 
corner!  Witness how this week WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! went 3-0-0 to move up 4 in the 
rankings.  RIO GRANDE DAME caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as 
she skillfully bested ST-ANDARD and was awarded 22 points in recognition.  In one of 
the week's more notable duels, RIO GRANDE DAME put down ST-ANDARD, causing him to 
lose 18 points of recognition in the process.  This time out CHARYBDIS made hers bid 
for the throne as she challenged NILE PRINCESS in an all out contest of skill for 
possession of the title!  The city has turned out in honor of CHARYBDIS, for with 
hers arena victory she may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!  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 CHIMLEVTAL.  CHIMLEVTAL, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of 
thy guilds is STIKE FORCE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part 
of last week avoiding STIKE FORCE.  Indeed it was TOILET GHOSTS.  Loose talk at the 
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are 
after SPARROW.  Watch your back!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Look no more for KEA in the arena or on the streets of CHIMLEVTAL.  
His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena.  Inevitable for one at 3-8-1.  Dark alleys may 
hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. 
Keep vigil always!   
     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 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

Belinda -- Hey, somehow you forgot to mention who challenged and LOST to Da Zagagna 
last turn, weird, uh? Ok, Let me remind you, as you most probably wouldn't have 
forgottten, had the challenge been successful: Broken Glass was unbelievably bested by 
Da Zagagna in a 6 minute challenge match. As "unbelievable" as it is, it's not every 

day an AB loses to a scum TP, so that definitely should have been quite a fight to 
report! Besides, it also was one of these fights which got the whole arena laughing! 
Really, I can't believe it escaped you, MWAHAHAHAHAHA! -- Da Zagagna.

Belinda -- And Kelp losing to a .500 warrior, and not even naming him? Well, there 
sure are less honorable losses than to a warrior, Compota, who brought pride to 
Chimlevtal, once. And a teammate of Da Zagagna, as it is! MWAHAHAHA -- La Guillotine 
and Whammo & Thudda 4U! still laughing

St-Imulating -- You're on the naughty list. -- Santa
