                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of JASPER GULCH!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  I have begun to suspect trickery on 
the part of PHILANTHROPISTS II.  How else weeks like this one's 1-1-0?  How else the 
sudden move to 5th team?  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with 
PRINGLES' team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 10th place ranking.  I 
have begun to suspect trickery on the part of OF WOLF AND MAN9.  How else weeks like 
this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 15th team?  My tutors were fond of 
telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week OF WOLF AND MAN5 
went 1-1-0 and fell 12 notches into 17th!  OF WOLF AND MAN bore the brunt of major 
assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 32nd position as the result 
of going 0-1-0!  SABOR caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he 
skillfully bested PUMPKIN SPICE and was awarded 26 points in recognition.  In one of 
the week's more notable duels, SABOR put down PUMPKIN SPICE, causing him to lose 7 
points of recognition in the process.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the 
throne, ROBERT PAULSON 411 has lost the title of Duelmaster.  This time victory fell 
to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail WIND RAIN, Duelmaster of JASPER GULCH!  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.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
