                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, ZORPUNT?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  SILVER BLADES turned their 1-1-0 turn 
into a 6th place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get 
put on hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see THORNSINGER win a 
fight and gain 15 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, SATISFACTION beat SPLINTERMAW and 
SPLINTERMAW lost 8 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and inability 
to defend the throne, KANGO KAL has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start setting that 
alarm earlier!  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think 
some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  What's 
the big D?  TREEBEARD'S ARMY was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like SILVER BLADES avoided them the most 
this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     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.   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of ZORPUNT.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
