                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ZUKAL brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see TRITAN win a fight and gain 27 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, TRITAN 
beat BOMBAY FLOYD and BOMBAY FLOYD lost 25 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Going 
for broke or broken, our Duelmaster STONE GOLEM Dark Arena Challenged this turn.  And 
if variety is the spice of life, ZUKAL may be getting bland, as BOSS HOG stays top 
dog in the city.  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.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for ZUKAL's 
morgue.  More variety.  RYE THE LIGHTNING has cause to pause today, as BOSS HOG was 
sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager.  
And now a passing thought on a warrior dying young (SHEAMUS of POWERS OF PAIN):  You 
had your chance and now you're dead.  Oh well...  We're all going to die in the end, 
so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     What does the ZUKAL arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Just wait 'till next time I show 
up here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I 
must leave now-- Snide Clemens
