SPY REPORT
Hi.
It's a cool day, I think -- the first day of autumn -- but my clerk is
overheating. Maybe he thinks my mother, Debby Tonte, might show up while he's here in
my office. Jhelum arena had 10 fights today. Just one person died, a Persistent
Beggar who had been annoying folks in the stands. That's a high price to pay for
being kind of annoying. But I think Lady Greywand might bring him back. SENTINEL (4-
8009) (0-0-0,0) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN' fought PERSISTENT BEGGAR (4-584) (0-0-0,10).
SENTINEL dispatched PERSISTENT BEGGAR in a 1 minute nrovice's fray.
Other "dead news" is that time expired for Caress of Steel! to bloodfeud Carro
Leggero over the death of Vapor Trail. Here's what Carro was doing this turn: CARRO
LEGGERO (4-7904) (9-26-3,63) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN' fought EVERGREEN (4-7994) (4-2-0,44)
of TRIBAL COUNCIL. CARRO LEGGERO handily defeated EVERGREEN in a 1 minute one-sided
bout.
Classic Blues lost their spot as top team, and Tanks for Nothin' took that place
instead, with a remarkable 5-0-1 showing! See Sentinel, above.
STRIDSVAGN M/41 (4-7997) (3-0-0,13) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN' fought MOOG (4-8005) (1-
0-0,10) of CARESS OF STEEL!. STRIDSVAGN M/41 outlasted MOOG in an unpopular 17 minute
novice's duel. Needless to say, Stridsvagn M/41 is the least popular fighter in the
arena today. 17 minutes! Some of us had to go to the bathroom. Moog lost 6 points.
Tribal Council was avoided by Tanks for Nothin'. Just three fighters from Tribal
Council too the sands today. Two of them defeated stand-ins and the third, Evergreen,
was defeated by Carro Leggero (see above).
Oh dear. Lead Balloon was challenged again, seveal times. Who can turn down the
offer of a free win? PINK ANDERSON (4-7942) (8-8-0,58) of CLASSIC BLUES challenged
LEAD BALLOON (4-7742) (3-71-0,80) of DOGS OF WAR. PINK ANDERSON overpowered LEAD
BALLOON in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge duel. I call this balloon abuse. Anyway,
Pink Anderson got 79 recognition points.
Shatterbow looked pretty good in this fight. JESSE FULLER (4-7802) (18-14-1,117)
of CLASSIC BLUES challenged SHATTERBOW (4-7772) (17-11-1,102) of THE KILLING HIVE.
JESSE FULLER was bested by SHATTERBOW in a 1 minute master's Challenge fight.
We've got a new Duelmaster, and he looks pretty good. WALTER DAVIS (4-7922) (16-
10-0,104) of CLASSIC BLUES fought BARBAX (4-7891) (21-6-0,109) of THE KILLING HIVE.
WALTER DAVIS was beaten by BARBAX in a popular 6 minute gruesome master's Title brawl.
Oh, congratulations to Trust Fall, who will travel to the Isle after next turn.
Here's how he did today: TRUST FALL (4-7887) (11-3-1,99) of SILLY YUPPIE! fought
ASHFLAYER (4-7775) (17-11-0,69) of THE KILLING HIVE. TRUST FALL vanquished ASHFLAYER
in a 1 minute uneven duel.
That's all I can tell you. Have a good two weeks.
