                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in DAL 
SHANG.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Hey 
everybody, watch out for GNIGHT WHVEN, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after 
mashing CHERRY BLOSSOM like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days 
it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  CHERRY BLOSSOM was subdued by GNIGHT WHVEN 
and drops 12 points.  It's a proud day for the WHILST I CHATZY stable, as their 
warrior, SCRATCHING POST, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Can you believe they are 
paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And who is this ULTRANEGATOR you ask, with 
45 points and a 10-15-0 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.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DAL SHANG 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
