                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of CALEAM!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team SAXON was unseated this 
week as GENERATION X moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-2-0 
record for the round.  KID OMEGA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested JUSTICE and was awarded 18 points in recognition.  
In one of the week's more notable duels, JERRY put down EUPHRATES, causing him to 
lose 14 points of recognition in the process.  This time out VIRAGO made hers bid for 
the throne as she challenged THE KILLING MOON in an all out contest of skill for 
possession of the title!  Although VIRAGO made a valiant effort, it did not suffice 
to topple the reign of victorious THE KILLING MOON.  No confirmation, but my sources 
claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed 
weapons perhaps?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in CALEAM these days is ROOFERS.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard 
pressed to find any of BULLET '25 last week.  Busy avoiding ROOFERS?  Mighty fighters 
cannot but expect competition from those below.  CLEMENTA take warning!  You have 
more than a few enemies in CALEAM.  A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games 
this week, it seems that SINGLE MALT posted a challenge against the more highly 
recognized CLEMENTA.  The results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand SINGLE MALT lost to 
CLEMENTA.  Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.  I can not but mention 
with disdain the name of BLINK who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 
11 points below in the rankings.  I thought BLINK showed great skill and promise when 
she won victory over DECADE.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the 
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in CALEAM.  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 - the pen is 
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
