                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, ZUWAYZA?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, LAKOTA, since CHAOS KIDS 
took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're all 
terribly impressed to see WEEPY WILLOW win a fight and gain 23 points, terribly.  
Tsk, tsk, SPOTTED EAGLE beat CARIBEAN RED and CARIBEAN RED lost 8 points.  You're 
breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, COLONEL 
TAYLOR has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm earlier!  And it's 
out with the old, in with the new, as BLACK KNIFE takes the Title and last week's bar 
tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Drunken Ox, humph!  I've tasted better 
ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From ZUWAYZA's trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  Ooh, 
I'm frightfully impressed, BROAD BILL was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch 
that ego swell, sports fans.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only 
shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     There's got to be a better place in ZUWAYZA to get a drink than The Drunken Ox!  
Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of 
ZUWAYZA.  I feel much better now.  Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens
