                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly STORMCROWE games.  MANSPLAINER caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested POLITE BEGGAR and was awarded 
15 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, HORRACH put down 
A'MAIMING GRACE, causing her to lose 10 points of recognition in the process.  Due to 
his absence and inability to defend the throne, SPACE DANDY has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  The city has turned out in honor of JUICE BOX, for with his arena 
victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!  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!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In STORMCROWE "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when 
this week's challenge seeking began.  KNIGHT BREED is feared.  This much I can say.  
Apparently the stalwarts of DEAD SILENCE are catching the bulk of jests down at the 
challenging board for their large share of the avoids.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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 STORMCROWE.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the 
spires of a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  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
