                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  CHAOS KIDS is no joke as it posted a 4-0-1 week advancing from 5th 
place to 4th place.  Hey everybody, watch out for OLEANDER, who flew up 19 points in 
the rankings after mashing PSYCHO KILLER like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  
Our battling duelmaster MCKINLEY has managed to hold the title, fending off 
HALLUCENT's none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, PSYCHO SQUAD.  Advice 
to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the TRANSEL arena.  Here's a 
song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad TEAN NOTTINGHAM?   Big bad TEAN 
NOTTINGHAM.  Big bad TEAN NOTTINGHAM.  TRANSEL's afraid of the big bad TEAN 
NOTTINGHAM.  Tra la la la la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  TEAN 
NOTTINGHAM + Weapons That go Boom = LANCIARII + Avoid City.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Proving again that TRANSEL is not rated G, WILLOW of the 
CHAOS KIDS slew the warrior ZOTACLES in a rather bloody bout.  Let's look for a 
bloodfeud.  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very 
important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the TRANSEL giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got you 
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster
