SPY REPORT
Hail KALTOS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. The THE MIDDLE WAY 5 guild has had a 5-0-1 turn and deserves to be watched in
the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see,
HARRIET TUBMAN fought HOFFA and gained 17 points and contributed to I'M HISTORY's
2-3-0. JOHN BROWN has lost to CHESTER EGG, falling 10 points, while helping make I'M
HISTORY a 2-3-0 turn. THE IMPECCABLE PIG challenged for the Duelmastership this
turn, attempting to dethrone I'M HISTORY's warrior. The attempts to dethrone the
Duelmaster have failed, and JOHN TYLER remains KALTOS' top warrior for another turn.
By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at
The Victory Tavern?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. TECHNOLOGY has cause to stand tall, as they were KALTOS' most
avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided
TECHNOLOGY stable the most? Believe it or not, it was JUST DON'T CARE. Anyone
surprised?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that KALTOS has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in KALTOS, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in KALTOS again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Electric Sheep -- We meet again. You know, I've been wondering, what kind of wool
does an electric sheep produce? Steel wool? -- Norle Parth
P.S. Or maybe that kind of hair-like lightening that one gets from a van de graf
generator? It's an interesting puzzle to toy with when trying to get to sleep.
Wolfman Jack -- Do you HAVE to howl in my ear? Actually, I don't understand how YOU
stand it, since your ears are just as close and even bigger. I'd think you wolves
would all be deaf by now. -- Erloi Gill
Hoffa -- Gods, I hate you! Though probably not as much as your manager does, to keep
sending you out on the sands in body after body. -- Ingold Kerr
Really, truly, the Fratsfa Slave is a joke. Send the dude home! -- Chester Egg
P.S. Insulting me will gain you nothing.
It'd be interesting to meet an Orc who hadn't been Captured. He might be a better
fighter and a better teacher, after all. -- Ferghan Hohl
Chester Egg -- I will insult whenever I feel like it. -- Larsanthek of Kurukar and
Fratsfa
Hilde -- Hey, I was just trying to be a gentleman. Just because I'm a thief doesn't
mean I can't be polite, you know. -- Hector Jones, of the Famous Jones Brothers,
Robbers of Banks
Grimm -- My brother can be a gentleman if he wants to, but I think he's nuts. Meet
in the alley behind the arena, tonight, an hour after sunset, and I'll show you who
knows what. -- Percy Jones
Angus -- Only a DIME? -- Oh-John, Beggar in good standing
Blabb -- Gawds, you really ARE a talker, aren't you? Don't you know any amusing
things to say? -- Rovalo d'Kormachi, late of Mordant
Ferghan Hohl -- You wouldn't have won so easily if the damned arenamaster hadn't
insisted on sending me out in hobbles. -- Geroge Maloth, Orc at Large
Chester Egg -- I suppose you bribed the arenamaster to get that match. -- Larsanthek
of Kurukar and Fratsfa
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
