                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  Coming up with 
a solid 1-0-0 outing, PHILANTHROPISTS 3 has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  Hey 
everybody, watch out for ZILCH, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing 
EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it 
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  LIGHT KITE was beat by JUSATIL and drops 12 
points.  Try as hard as the HOUSE JHEREG stable might, they were unable to find their 
warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) ORI OF SMALLCLIFF before this week's fights.  It's a 
proud day for the SATAN'S SWARM stable, as their warrior, DEMONIC DUNGBEETLE, 
ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get 
a bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid LORDS OF DOOM, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does MURSKA really have that many 
liars?  For those of you who like math, try this one:  LORDS OF DOOM + Weapons That 
go Boom = HOUSE JHEREG + Avoid City.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Knowing when to use the right 
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in MURSKA have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  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
