                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of NOBLISH ISLAND!  Know me for who I am, Zontani 
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  BAD MATCH UPS caught the eye 
of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SLEEPY JOE and was 
awarded 15 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, ZIPPY THE 
SLUG put down TAZAROC, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  
Not for nothing has DOC STEELE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and 
this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  Informants "close" to the city 
champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  
Watch out!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city NOBLISH ISLAND.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this 
week's challenge seeking began.  BB FACE TO FACE is feared.  This much I can say.  If 
you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of DM - 
FOLK last week.  Busy avoiding BB FACE TO FACE?  Loose talk at the arena has reached 
my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after TOMBSTONE 
FEATURE.  Watch your back!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  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!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in NOBLISH ISLAND.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Sadly warriors, now 
longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and 
soon!  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
