                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
JHELUM.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  It was 
a tough week for SONGS OF THE WOOD, to drop 5 places in the rankings.  Coming up with 
a solid 3-2-1 outing, CLASSIC BLUES has advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Hey 
everybody, watch out for STONE RONIN, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after 
mashing HAVEN OF GLOOM like a melon.  Keep your eye on this beast.  Ya know, some 
days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  HAVEN OF GLOOM was overcame by STONE 
RONIN and drops 16 points.  Unlike most arenas, BLACK BEAR managed to get his 
challenge off against the 0-0-0 SPYMASTER.  Well, everybody's pal BLACK BEAR moved 
his record to 18-10-2 by defeating SPYMASTER in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and 
gaining 6 recognition points.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver 
this stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that THE KILLING HIVE was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing 
the personal hygiene of THE KILLING HIVE's warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys 
like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause CLASSIC BLUES beats feet every 
time THE KILLING HIVE smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well dang howdy, but if 
challenges were votes, ASHFLAYER would be president.  Although it may be a contest he 
doesn't want to win.  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, TOMMY JOHNSON 
went after ASHFLAYER, who was higher by 24 points.  Well, when the dust settled, 
TOMMY JOHNSON was bested by ASHFLAYER.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  BLACK BEAR defied all odds and slew SPYMASTER in the Dark 
Arena.  The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as SPYMASTER's meat is 
notoriously tough.  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may 
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, there's the manager of the JHELUM giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Okay, so I may not be the world's 
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  See ya next time 
I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
