SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of MORDANT brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, CHUCK'S PINUPS, since SWEORDMASTERS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. SWEORDMASTERS turned their 4-0-1 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see ROT GUT win a fight and gain 30 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, ROT GUT beat FIANNA QUINN and FIANNA QUINN lost 25 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, RUN'S HOUSE has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as WYRTHA takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, MORDANT? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. What's the big D? RUN DMC was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like CHUCK'S PINUPS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. I notice TOBY WING challenging down 24 points to fight MASKED MURDERER II, CHUCK'S PINUPS doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to honor. And golly gee, TOBY WING defeated MASKED MURDERER II. Aren't we all surprised and impressed? MARY MARY was challenged by one of CHUCK'S PINUPS' warriors this turn, with SANDRA DEE having a lead of 23 points going into the fight. And sorry to say, SANDRA DEE beat MARY MARY, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term I'm looking for. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. SWEORDMASTERS has cause to pause today, as GRASSCUTTER was sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. There's got to be a better place in MORDANT to get a drink than Conan's Place! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WYRTHA 8944 8 1 0 118 SWEORDMASTERS (138) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TOBY WING 7193 15 3 0 114 CHUCK'S PINUPS (192) -RUN'S HOUSE 8735 13 2 1 111 RUN DMC (636) SANDRA DEE 7237 14 4 0 103 CHUCK'S PINUPS (192) BELLE BENNETT 7229 13 7 0 92 CHUCK'S PINUPS (192) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MASKED MURDERER II 8772 13 45 2 89 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) ROT GUT 8912 7 2 0 87 BOOZE (605) ETHELBERT POTTS 9008 14 6 1 84 LOW ROAD 3 (644) -MY ADIDAS 8733 9 0 1 81 RUN DMC (636) CATTY WENCH 9055 8 4 0 78 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) MARY MARY 8872 17 26 0 77 RUN DMC (636) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DOMESTIC DERVISH 8943 15 21 0 66 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) ARNOLD ZIFFEL 8814 5 0 0 66 HANDSOME SWINE (640) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FIANNA QUINN 8970 16 10 0 63 LOW ROAD 3 (644) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SCHOOLBUS DRIVER 8963 12 15 0 56 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) BEEFEATER 9044 3 1 2 49 BOOZE (605) BUSTER MARNE 8956 8 21 1 46 LOW ROAD 3 (644) -HRUNTLING 8994 3 0 0 36 SWEORDMASTERS (138) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ELLENGAEST 9040 6 1 0 33 SWEORDMASTERS (138) KING OF ROCK 9067 2 0 1 30 RUN DMC (636) PRAETTIG 9041 5 2 0 28 SWEORDMASTERS (138) JACK B.

Since there isn't, I have to judge that a base cannard (is there any other kind of cannard?). -- Schoolbus Driver Our congratulations to Grasscutter, who was obviously not in some kind of distress and probably not even in the tavern. -- Jorja and the Homicidal Maniacs and Low Roaders Ah! I am most popular, most challenged, everything a gladiator could want to be-- (except most winning, dummy) --and I bask in it. Obviously, the people of Mordant understand the importance of my quest for the BLOODTHIRSTY VILLAIN who is my target. With their help in FINDING this cunning rogue, I WILL bring an end to his reign of infamy! -- Masked Murderer We had three fights against Black Devin? How odd. Catty and I won, and Handy, true to his innate ineptitude, lost. The fights against managed gladiators were, of course, also lost. -- Schoolbus Driver One-two for the Low Roaders. Ha.
