                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of MORDANT!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  What's with JETSAM?  He actually 
beat SWEORDMASTERS' SMIRCH, and walked away with 14 more points from the fight.  
Laughs were big at SEA DOGS while they watched JETSAM clobber SMIRCH.  He lost 12 
points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  CHARK FORKBEARD was 
reminded on the sands why MIASMA is Duelmaster.  Wouldn't it be nice to have live 
subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted 
prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  The most avoided team was 
SWEORDMASTERS.  Management must be dealin', as the boys at SEA DOGS ain't reelin'!  
SWEORDMASTERS' mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged 
warrior, SMIRCH!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.   
     Warriors of MORDANT unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Is it my 
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so 
gloriously!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  
MORDANT is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  I don't 
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Mannequin -- What happened to this place?  I guess the rest of them couldn't hang
with us.  I'll try to find some suitable replacements to bring to the sands. -- One
Armed Bandit

Recess -- There are two things about our fight I enjoyed.  First, the pain, then, the
skills.  I also learned to never give up the initiative as Decisive tactic does. --
Kane
P.S.  I have been in RECESS, when's LUNCH?

All -- I was warned about the ANIMATED warriors in Mordant.  Is there any who are not
golems?  By the way, 11211441897, the next time we meet, the Decisiveness skill you
taught me might be your undoing.  Thank you. -- Viscera Too
