                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE had cause to celebrate, after EIO YUE got 22 points 
by beating DANGEROUS CRIMINAL.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, INSURANCE 
SALESMAN was winsome, after beating GROND and seeing him lose 14 points.  Now I can't 
insult GALLORDIN, as he has gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh great new Duelmaster!!! 
(Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who's the team that's been walking into taverns 
last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst 
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of THE GOLDEN FISH, alone and unchallenged.  
The warriors of THE GOLDEN FISH found their efforts at combat frustrated as PEANUT 
BUTTER FUDGE apparently had more important things to do than fight.  If challenges 
were horses, GULBY could open up a fast food joint!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Questions are 
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain 
tavern in NIANIA would I avoid!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As the seasons change, and the creatures of the 
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Like a mixed 
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid NIANIA farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

Yes! Excellent round!  Finally I'm catching up to you guys. -- Gavin

Goldina -- Gud phight, yoe sir had mesh vaorried! -- Bubba Bender

Embezzling Scribe -- Sorry about the whole hospital trip thing...  I tried to sneak
in some 'drink' for ya saying it was for medicinal purposes.  They chased me out
callin' me Barbaric. -- Eio

You wouldn't have beat him, Eio, if I'd not softened him up first.  Poor chap.  Who's
idea was it to put librarians in an arena for Gladiators anyway?  Why not
'Kindergarden Bully' or "Angry 8 year old'?  Sheesh... -- Haus

Pesky Beggars...they got patched up at the hospital and we get stuck with the bill...
you wouldn't believe what he was begging for.  Serves him right! -- Brandy, the
outraged

Haus Heus -- No help for it, I still don't like peanutbutter fudge.  I like penuche.
Sue me.  Or vanilla fudge IF it has lots of chopped dried fruits and nuts in it. --
Goldina
P.S.  But I don't like standing there stirring it for ages and eons.  So if I can't
buy it, I do without.

Ah.  The Convicted Assassin.  Not my favorite person, but I can be polite.  He fought
well. -- Gallordin

Well, he didn't fight so well by the time he got to me! -- Kestratlak

Darn that Khalhums Dwarf.  I beat him and STILL didn't get the title. -- Grond

Grond -- Why should you have done?  True, you tied me for points, but I have more
wins, plus a kill.  *I* should have gotten the title. -- Gallordin

Gallordin -- My win/loss was better than yours, it should have been MINE. -- Grond

Seems like the Veteran Mercenary was feeling frisky. -- Gulby
P.S.  Friskiness in a standby is undesireable.

Geroge Krag -- You're an orc, of course we're out to get you. -- Gallordin

Seef Haraine -- Er, right.  It was thrilling. -- Gulby

Seef Haraine -- Me?  Ah, no, surely not, I mean, I'm not worthy! -- Gallordin

Heck, nine fights, and only ONE of them doesn't involve a standby.  Small Arena
Syndrome strikes. -- Jorja
