                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ZENSU!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  There were bitter words at FAR TRAVELERS 
A's guildhouse after a 0-1-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 9th.  
Dark Arena anyone?  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  
Witness how this week 227 BOURBON ST. went 1-0-0 to move up 4 in the rankings.  
DELUGE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested 
SWEET SORROW and was awarded 16 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more 
notable duels, AMBITIOUS GUARD put down NEERLY STENN, causing him to lose 15 points 
of recognition in the process.  As is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the 
challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster NEW RIFF itself.  Who here 
was not present for the title fight this week as ZIPPY THE SLUG boldly challenged NEW 
RIFF in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors?  Although ZIPPY THE SLUG made a 
valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious NEW RIFF.  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 ZENSU.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  VABOROUGHS is feared.  This much I can say.  Apparently the 
stalwarts of DEEP SHADOW are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board 
for their large share of the avoids.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears 
arms.  One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in ZENSU.  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 
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
