SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. ZUKAL needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for MORAVIA
MAUVE? BLUE MOON's proud of her after beating CONVICTED THIEF and getting 9 points.
Talk about yer big time losers! TRAKE DARROWS got smashed by CAPTURED ORC, and lost
8 points! Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all ZUKAL.
He got the most challenges. (But what about proposals?) BRUJAH thinks his 10-0-0 and
studly character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? Was that a
tear I saw in BRUJAH's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't INCISOR fit
to be tied! Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask
me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. The warriors of BLUE MOON must be getting lonely. They were the
most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? I don't know what DARK
WARDS' been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from BLUE MOON,
that's fer sher.
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys
can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Glindora -- Thank you. I WAS watching for Trake. Perhaps he should have been
watching for me? I enjoyed his challenge and, of course, my win. -- Nosferatu
Newlin -- I enjoyed our dance of Crimson. I am pleased there was no death in store
for you. The win was a boost! -- Toreador
Incisor -- Enjoy your time at the top. I am being very, very careful of political
points. -- Brujah
Dulgin -- I thought you lacked polish, you being dull and all. So I was just
(innocent look) trying to rub you with sand to buff you up. Honest! -- Blu Jon
P.S. That old Zrof One-Eye is such a party-poop! We could've had fun rolling around
in the sand.
P.P.S. Don't you sometimes feel like taking an axe to the fans when they start
yelling? I tell you, it makes me understand axe murderers.
Glindora -- You probably need to go back to Oz. This just doesn't seem to be working
out for you. -- Bluette
P.S. I've heard that if you get red shoes (sequins are good) and, um, tap dance? Or
something like that, but tap dancing sounds right, and chant a mantra about how great
your home is (assuming that's where you want to go, otherwise, I suppose you should
chant about a different place that you DID want to go), and it'll happen. At least,
that's what they SAY. I've never tried it, myself.
Incisor -- I hope the Tooth Fairy comes and CARRIES YOU AWAY. You are such a
NUISANCE. Especially now that you've gotten it into gear and are beating me all the
time, instead of the other way around. I didn't mind beating you. -- Ultorino
P.S. The way things are going now, I'll be lucky if I don't end up in an adventure.
Well, I probably WILL end up in one, sooner or later, but if I'm really LUCKY, it'll
be something mild, like going out for a loaf of bread after dark and getting mugged
in an alley.
Trake Darrows -- I noticed. I was concentrating too hard on teaching and not enough
on winning. I'm working on that. -- Bluette
Brujah -- I am not so easily killed. -- Alourisienelle, part time Concubine, part
time Assassin
