                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly CLIFFHOME games.  CAPTAIN METROPOLIS caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested AKIMOTO and was awarded 
25 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, CAPTAIN 
METROPOLIS put down AKIMOTO, causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the 
process.  Although HOODED JUSTICE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple 
the reign of victorious ICARUS.  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!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  CLIFFHOME, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is THE WATCHMEN, 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 THE WATCHMEN.  Indeed it was 
ASSASSINS.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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 CLIFFHOME.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Sadly warriors, now longer can 
I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till 
next we meet remember:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are 
angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
