                                      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.  BASH 
BROS STAMPS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Advancing in 
the rankings was GHOST BEARS! who went from last turn's 3-2-0, to this week's record 
of 7-3-1.  Hey everybody, watch out for FIRE MOTH, who flew up 13 points in the 
rankings after mashing TROMBONE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  Ya know, 
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  GIGI ASHBLIGHT was defeated by 
TUBA and drops 9 points.  Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to 
KHALHUMS DWARF, and DARRIAN NUV has made the way for a new Duelmaster!  With DARRIAN 
NUV clearing the throne, BASH BROS STAMPS of PRICE INCREASE takes a proud seat as 
NOBLISH ISLAND's new Duelmaster, by virtue of recognition points.  4 out of 5 
gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     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  MERCENARIES INC.?  Big bad 
MERCENARIES INC..  Big bad MERCENARIES INC..  NOBLISH ISLAND's afraid of the big bad 
MERCENARIES INC..  Tra la la la la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  
MERCENARIES INC. + Weapons That go Boom = BRASS BAND + 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!  Ask not the elves for counsel, 
for they will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, there's the manager of the NOBLISH ISLAND giving me the 'cut' sign (or is 
that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!--
