The city fathers of Niania, in the interests of the general population, announce the
closing of Geroge Krag's School of Unarmed Combat for Non-Gladiators.  Too many small
businessmen of this city have lodged protests after being beaten up by little old
ladies who objected to their modes of doing business.

I, Aldartha M'Kee, spokeswoman of the Little Old Ladies' League of Niania, do hereby
challenge any city father to meet me in the dark alley of his choice.  We are being
discriminated against, and we won't have it.

                                      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.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for KESTRATLAK, who flew up 14 points in the rankings after mashing 
CAPTURED ORC like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't 
pay to walk out on the sands.  DOLOVOR lost to KUNG-FU MASTER and drops 8 points.  
Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was THE GOLDEN 
FISH's HAROLUE, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by SCURVY LAD.  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!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Knowing when to use the right tactics at 
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the NIANIA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  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

Hand of God -- Okay, fine.  Gods have hands, I suppose, and even hand-men, which are
the masculine of hand-maidens, right?  But what I want to know is, which god are we
talking about here?  There are some I'd be glad to give a hand to myself, and others
I wouldn't spit on if their fur caught fire. -- Sarovond
P.S.  And just off the top of my aching head, I bet you're associated with one of the
nastier ones.

Hand of Hell -- Coming and going, eh?  Too bad you can't win it both ways.  But
that's life in the arena, and out of it as well. -- Dolovor

Pecan Pie -- Augh!  Way too sweet!  I don't see how people can eat this kind of
stuff.  Rots the teeth, coats the tongue, upsets the stomach, and does damage at
every stage.  Even the protein in the pecans isn't enough to balance the sugar. --
Gallordin
P.S.  Chess pie, that's the stuff.

Korvoskol Turo, Veteran Mercenary -- You should retire on your pension.  And if the
pension isn't enough to live on, so many of them aren't, then you should start a
little non-violent business on the side.  Raise vegetable marrows, maybe, and sell
'em to gladiators who can't get melons to smash. -- Harolue the Ever-Helpful

Biff Mugg, Late of Mordant -- I have a lot of sympathy for anyone who gets stuck in
Mordant, and I'd've moved out, too.  The place is an armpit.  But that doesn't mean
you get to defeat me.  We golems (sure want to know how that happened) have our
pride. -- Kestratlak

Ed. -- Now that you mention it, I can see that must be the explanation.  And my
mother didn't tell me because, for the same reason of protecting my real identity,
she is staying away from me.  Huh.  I suppose this is a good thing, but what it feels
like is that I've been rejected.  I believe I'm going to get a complex about it. --
Kastratlak

     This may be the start of a whole new career for you!  If you have a complex
     about something, it's dead simple to become an artist of some sort. -- Ed.

Masters of Sand -- This is pathetic. -- Mernisial the Grim, High Elf of Niania Arena
