                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of JURINE!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  ZIT caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested FLAME BARON and was awarded 22 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, ZIT put down FLAME BARON, 
causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  This time victory fell 
to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail ICEBERG EATER, Duelmaster of JURINE!  Would 
you believe that over half of the old women in JURINE 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.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in JURINE these days is CUSHING LAKES.  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 CUSHING LAKES.  Indeed it was TEMERE 
NOMEN.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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!  
     The girls are as pretty in JURINE as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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 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
