                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ZENSU games.  EERIE BEEF caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SLACK JAW and was awarded 19 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, POPPY PUDDIFOOT put down 
TERRIBLE BEAUTY, causing her to lose 9 points of recognition in the process.  This 
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail BROCCOLI BRIDE, Duelmaster 
of ZENSU!  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights 
without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city ZENSU.  ZENSU, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of thy guilds 
is PHILANTHROPISTS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  
Apparently the stalwarts of THE SHIRE are catching the bulk of jests down at the 
challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Loose talk at the arena has 
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after SLACK 
JAW.  Watch your back!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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?  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
