                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  BEACH 
BABES now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  It looks like the 
guys(?) at CHURCH LADIES had a good week as they went 3-0-1 to put them in 2nd place. 
I guess steroids help!  Hey everybody, watch out for SUSIE, who flew up 12 points in 
the rankings after mashing PERSISTENT BEGGAR like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
gal.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  CHIOS was defeated 
by PAM and drops 4 points.  Try as hard as the BRUTAL LEGION stable might, they were 
unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) FATALITY before this week's fights.  
In front of all the crowds, SLAMMER 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.  Did you hear that WASTELAND II was most 
avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of WASTELAND II's 
warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch SENTINELS' act 
in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from WASTELAND II.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Well, the arena is no place for slow learners (and 
hopefully T.P.s) and OGRESMASHER demonstrated that very violently on GALVESTON 
GILLY's body.  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very 
important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick 
your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Fatality -- Welcome back and congrats on the throne. -- Sentinels

Sandy Shore -- Congratulations on your graduation.  The Sentinels will party in your
honor, but will have a strict curfew--we don't want any more missed fights! -- Nomad

Pensacolita -- Limited amounts of cranberry smash can be great.  Are great.  But I
think "moderation" is becoming an important word around our guildhouse. --
Ogresmasher

Nora -- Even having been victorious on the arena sands, I must admit I think I prefer
the beach sands.  "Gory" is never a word you want used to describe your time with a
lady. -- Obrojobo

Bubba -- I feel for you.  At least for fights two and three it was your own fault
because you challenged.  Variety--I've heard it provides a bit of spice to life. --
Neanderthal

Pensacolita -- I do enjoy our fights.  It is always interesting to match blades with
someone attempting to employ the same style.  Perhaps more of that vitamin-rich
cranberry smash would help? -- Erasmus

Well, that's a shocker!  I go into the fight an orc, and I come out an elf?  I'm not
understanding this.  And Fatality, too--he went in Harkene and came out a golem!  At
least he didn't get altered in, um, other ways.  But it's weird. -- Sandy Shore

Fatality -- Enjoy the title, I surely did! -- Sandy Shore
P.S.  And I know you're not REALLY a golem.  It's okay, I'll pass the word along to
the other babes.

Erasmus -- I know this isn't YOUR fault, but I'm annoyed!  I'm completely elven, and
now they say I'm only half elven!  What kind of thing is that for some Commission
flunky to say about my mother?  And you sure as heck weren't Rirorni two weeks ago.
-- Pensacolita

Obrojobo -- Gods, is nothing sacred to the Commission?  I am not and have NEVER BEEN
an orc, and I take deep offense at being so described now.  Just because I'm buxom--
they aren't supposed to be LOOKING at that.  Them.  You know.  And you tell 'em
you're not Mirani, you're jaundiced, okay?  Let's raise a little HECK over this. --
N'Orleans Nora
P.S.  Oh, wait, I should say something about the fight, shouldn't I?  Hang on while I
check to see who won....  Ah, you did.  Well, um, good fight?

Ogresmasher -- Well, I can't blame you today!  The way the Commission has been
messing us around, ANYBODY could be an ogre in disguise.  But I'm not, so I'm glad
you only smashed me a little. -- Long Beach Lila
P.S.  Though I could have done without that, too.

Dope Boy Fresh -- I dunno, maybe this business of being race-changed in my sleep
isn't so bad after all.  I won the fight, anyway.  That's got to be good, right? --
Galveston Gilly

Nomad -- Sorry, I think we may have mixed that punch a little strong.  But it was
full of vitamins! -- Sandy Shore
P.S.  A party in the hand looms bigger than the chance of parties in the distant
future, you know.

Ogresmasher -- It was a special recipe. -- Pensacolita

The Saint -- All of 'em to Jorja.  Did you know that if you sharpen the stick on the
umbrella, you can use it to stab hor d'oerves? -- Nick

     Okiedokie, they're all changed.  And I'll keep the umbrella thing in mind; you
     never know when something like that might come in handy. -- The Saint, keeper of
     lists

Captain Ansaal Treans, Commander of the City Guard -- What?  You mean we're training
your guards?  Do we get paid for this?  Or at least a "Get out of jail free" card? --
'Orleans Nora

Chancellor Grendel -- Sounds good.  We've been wanting to build an annex on the other
side of the pool anyway.  I'll see you get the bills! -- Sandy Shore
