                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly VEASTIAN games.  ROCK SHIELD caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested F-SHANA and was awarded 23 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, ROCK SHIELD put down 
F-SHANA, causing her to lose 19 points of recognition in the process.  Not for 
nothing has F-LYSANDER in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this 
week she's proven hers combat skill yet again.  No confirmation, but my sources claim 
that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons 
perhaps?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In VEASTIAN "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  VEASTIAN, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the 
names of thy guilds is PRIDE OF ALASTARI, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the 
weekly duels.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to 
find any of FAR TRAVELERS last week.  Busy avoiding PRIDE OF ALASTARI?   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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 VEASTIAN.  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 
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
