                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  
INANIMATE TOFU now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  For every 
winner there is a loser.  Speaking of losers, lets take a look at MAD SCIENTISTS, who 
went down to 3rd from 7th.  Life is tough.  Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, THE 
EMERALD ISLES has advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for 
IRON GOLD, who flew up 27 points in the rankings after mashing FROGS FORM THE SKY 
like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk 
out on the sands.  COSMIC WIDOW was defeated by TOFU SCRAMBLE and drops 17 points.  
Unlike most arenas, RANDOM managed to get his challenge off against the 0-0-0 
MERCENARY TAO.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as MERCENARY TAO killed the 
Duelmaster, RANDOM, leaving OF WOLF AND MAN II in mourning.  This incredible death 
has allowed, I might add, ARYA from OF WOLF AND MAN to ascend to the throne of 
Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy.  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!  
Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad INANIMATE  TOFU?  Big bad 
INANIMATE TOFU.  Big bad INANIMATE TOFU.  TALCAMA's afraid of the big bad INANIMATE 
TOFU.  Tra la la la la!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch THE EMERALD ISLES' 
act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from INANIMATE 
TOFU.  And who is this INVERNESS you ask, with 113 points and a 27-15-0 record.  Ooh, 
the tales I could tell!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may 
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been real, and its been fun, 
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
