                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome BONSUR.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Woof!  BEACH BABES were a 
bunch of dogs after SENTINELS got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  Up 
'n down.  Up 'n down.  Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  
Well, SENTINELS' 1st moved them up to 4-1-0 place.  What's with SUSIE?  She actually 
beat STRANGE DAZE's MOIRAI FURY, and walked away with 16 more points from the fight.  
Major screwup at STRANGE DAZE.  MOIRAI FURY lost 9 points to SUSIE.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe MOIRAI FURY will provide more easy wins...  Another 
fighter (SLAMMER 15-12-3) challenged another Duelmaster (FATALITY 14-4-0).  Life goes 
on.  I'm sure BONSUR is excited about SLAMMER, the new Duelmaster from AMEN!.  
(remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  Advice to fighters with a 1 
will--give up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was AMEN!.  The bums at SENTINELS couldn't face the challenges from 
AMEN!!  No excuse for that!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged 
warrior, MOIRAI FURY!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  So CHURCH LADIES sent DEBBIE to the Dark Arena.  Big deal.  
Plenty more fighters where DEBBIE came from.  Dime a dozen...  Now, Spyreporters...  
How long have I been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  The 
end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Remember--a good 
fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Slammer -- Why?  Did you really need to be aiming at the head?  At least we know you
are not an Ogre, because if you were you clearly would have been the one smashed.  I
hate losing veterans. -- Nomad and the Sentinels

Nora -- You're helping my popularity, but that really is not what I am going for.  Go
spend more time with Obrojobo. -- Erasmus

Koochie -- Hey!  Who are you?  Welcome (back) to Bonsur!  Glad to have you here...and
even more glad to have picked up another win!  I have no interest in fighting at
night. -- Chios

Pensacolita -- A nice little fight.  Not as much fun as on the beach sands with you
ladies perhaps, but still a good time.  Nice try. -- Obrojobo

Debbie -- Well, that got a bit long and dull.  I may need to do something about that.
-- Neanderthal

Moses -- I can't decide--is an abstract sculpture of a burning bush made out of
swords (not plowshares?) appropriate or ironic?  I guess if it is your sword next
time I won't care.  As for Huntsman, he is getting impatient as he sits inactive on
the Isle--look him up when you get there, he should have some free time. -- Obrojobo

Sentinels -- Sorry about Ogresmasher.  I hate to see a fellow basher go down.
Especially one who shares my impeccable sense of style. -- Slammer

Farewell Bonsur!  It's been a little slice of Heaven!  Come on, Galveston's ghost.
We have a ferry to catch. -- Slammer

Erasmus -- I was going to make some kind of witty comment, but I forget what it was.
I couldn't write it down when it first came to me because I had been blinded by an
opthamalogist. -- N'Orleans Nora

Obrojobo -- That would be a good name for a drink.  Something exotic and stronger
than you think it's going to be. -- Pensacolita
P.S.  Come by the cabana and we can test some stuff?

That Fratsfa Slave is pathetic.  He's worthless and weak and does not belong here.
We should send him to Fratsfa, where people will REALLY dump on him because he's a
Shagornan elf.... -- Long Beach Lila

Susie -- Whew!  For a minute there, I thought I'd have to throw in the towel!  Good
thing you burned out. -- Teri Towyl

Well, heck, I'd desert Mordant, too, if I found myself stuck there. -- Palmetta Patty

Oh, no!  Ogresmasher!  Say it isn't SO! -- all the Beach Babes, dismayed

Neanderthal -- Ah, I shall correct my thinking then.  Why, dna studies say you even
come redheaded and all sorts of "normal human" flavors.  How's your capacity for vin?
-- Nora

Our congratulations to Slammer, graduating killer. -- the Beach Babes
P.S.  We'll really miss Ogresmahser.

Lord Protector Slammer -- Ah... Queen Gemra expects that, as a dwarf, you will not be
staying in the area and therefore will have no need of lands here, or even, she
points out, an apartment.  Quite so.  But she does wish you a good trip to the Isle.
-- Grendal, Chancellor to the Queen
