                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ARKERS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-0-0 is nice, 
but don't get cocky, MIDDLE WAY 11, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are 
proud.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see IMERTA LOEL win a fight and 
gain 21 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, IMERTA LOEL beat PENNY and PENNY lost 20 points. 
You're breakin' my heart.  Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to 
KHALHUMS DWARF, and IMA SLAYER has made the way for a new Duelmaster!  The Swinging 
Aardvark, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this 
stuff?  From ARKERS' trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if 
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     What does the ARKERS arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of ARKERS.  I feel much better now.  Glad to see the 
back of this place-- Snide Clemens

I viciously subdued a Capture Orc, and the fans LOVED it.  I'm hot.  Okay, of course
I'm hot, it's July, but still. -- Kotter Nahl

Ima Slayer -- I don't envy you.  I'm sure your manager will make you pay for your
success in ways I shudder to contemplate.  Tourneys!  ADM fighting!  Battle after
battle after battle.  Where is me, if I survive long enough to graduate, I can
RETIRE.  I hope I make it. -- Imerta Loel

If that's an Honest Merchant, I'm the Queen of the May. -- Leland Olven

Molly Feather -- Well, heck.  Darn.  Etc. -- Orville Rouse
