SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, NIANIA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see THE LIZARD KING win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, ELINTERRI beat DREW and DREW lost 6 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like NIANIA has some guts at least, ROBOT CHICKEN the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. CHAKTIRI challenged NIANIA's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as CHAKTIRI 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, NIANIA? My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. SERPENTS HOLD, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like THE FUNNY FARM avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. Whoa! I'll even buy GRAPE APE a drink tonight! Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good side! We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.

Congrats on the title! -- Tasaio Kinthira -- That was a close one! -- Chaktiri Korbrizt Horon -- Thanks for the learns! -- Jiro Tasaio -- I'd've been willing, but the Commission seems to have had some other idea. -- Kinthira Chaktiri -- I'm used to losing to you guys, but you could've been a better student. -- Kinthira Jiro -- Consider those skills an investment in your NEXT tourney. -- Korbrizt Horon Grape Ape -- Ah, grape juice! Finest kind. -- Kestraline The Lizard King -- In my mind, you're confused with my late teammate Red Lizard. Takes me a minute to make the switch over to seeing you as an opponent. Unfortunately, in a fight that minute lost is decisive. Oh, well. -- Elinterri Drew -- You've been holding serpents. That's disgusting. Have you smelled your hands lately? -- Lugbruk LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GRAPE APE butchered CLARENCE S. VOLE in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
