                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ARVAT!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team SECRET SQUIRRELS was 
unseated this week as DEATH BY DESIGN moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 4-1-1 record for the round.  Fortune did not smile upon PHILANTHROPISTS this 
time out who this turn suffered a fall into 7th position in the wake of a 0-1-0 
round.  Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness how 
this week KNIGHT LIFE went 3-2-1 to move up 3 in the rankings.  My praise to DEATH BY 
DESIGN for their 4-1-1 week this time out.  Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round 
deserving of notice!  SNAPPER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission 
as he skillfully bested MAT FISTAFLEAS and was awarded 28 points in recognition.  In 
one of the week's more notable duels, MON-THING put down SIR RENDER, causing him to 
lose 9 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 DEFCON ONE 
himself.  Who here was not present for the title fight this week as MARTIAN MONHUNTER 
boldly challenged DEFCON ONE in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors?  Although 
MARTIAN MONHUNTER made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of 
victorious DEFCON ONE.  Would you believe that over half of the old women in ARVAT 
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.  ARVAT, city of gladiators!  Mighty 
among the names of thy guilds is DEATH BY DESIGN, a guild shunned and avoided by many 
in the weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of DEVIL ADVOCATES are catching the 
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Perhaps even the strong cannot escape the vagaries of this world.  
This week arena veteran MAT FISTAFLEAS was slain, despite a 13-7-0 record.  My 
sources at BLACK MOON RISING stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer.  
This as a result of the untimely demise of ONYX ASCENT.  Beware SIR CHARGE!  Death 
has again visited the sands of our arena.  SNAPPER has claimed the life of MAT 
FISTAFLEAS.  Do any doubt that DEVIL ADVOCATES will seek a bloody revenge?  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!   
     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
