                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
NIANIA.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say 
good-bye to THE GOLDEN FISH, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
THE RUNAROUND stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for OOZING MY MIND, who flew up 17 
points in the rankings after mashing BARK THE BIGGER like a melon.  Keep your eye on 
this beast.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was BARK THE BIGGER, who 
dropped 16 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with OOZING MY MIND.  
In front of all the crowds, MAUL ON WHEELS took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  
I give the bum two weeks.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try 
and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And who is this LUCKY you ask, with 5 
points and a 1-2-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  SEE YA says to its dog--'Who should I fight 
this week?'.  Dog says 'STONE GOLEM'.  So the beast dies.  Moral?  Put lying dogs to 
sleep.  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems 
on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.  Its been 
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Nine fights again, two in the Dark Arena, and three standbys.  I think three
standbys.  And three-two for us!  That IS an improvement.  We'll take it. -- Peter
Netley

Cutpurse -- Oh, good, just in time!  I was HOPING someone would cut that purse net.
It is called a purse net, isn't it?  I thought I was TRAPPED.  Well, I WAS trapped,
but when you cut it, I got OUT.  Good. -- Minnow

Bravo -- Somehow, this was YOUR fault.  *I* should have been the one to lose to
Cutpurse and get five skills.  Damn. -- Peter Netley

Ah, guards.  Always too ambitious.  Ha. -- Pikestave
