                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly RODEKI games.  OAK PARK caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested LADY IN GRAY and was awarded 17 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, OAK PARK put down 
LADY IN GRAY, causing her to lose 14 points of recognition in the process.  Although 
CREVE COEUR made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of 
victorious HOMINY HOMINY.  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!   
     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 RODEKI these days is BETTER BLUES.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was 
that spent the better part of last week avoiding BETTER BLUES.  Indeed it was MI 
CASA.  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge 
that many fighters are after BEYOND THE GRAVE.  Watch your back!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune 
but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a 
stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of Alastari await me!  
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
