                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ROCANIS!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Warriors--remember that glory waits 
always around the corner!  Witness how this week BARDIC FLAPPERY went 3-1-0 to move 
up 3 in the rankings.  SECRET OF FLIGHT caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested RIRORNI ARCHER and was awarded 13 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, LUMP O COAL put down VENOMOUS 
CUR, causing him to lose 3 points of recognition in the process.  Although TEMB made 
a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious NO SNO 4 U.  
Would you believe that over half of the old women in ROCANIS seem to feel that they 
could fight better than you gladiators?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  ALLIANCE is feared.  This much I 
can say.  Apparently the stalwarts of CHRISTMAS CURSES 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!  I must report the passing of TEMB, veteran of many 
duels.  19-17-1 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites.  
Cruelly, NO SNO 4 U of CHRISTMAS CURSES has slain the lesser ranked TEMB.  Word 
already flies around town that RESCUE RANGERS plans a bloodfeud!  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 ROCANIS.  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
