                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to KOLACT once again!  What's with DEVIL GIRL?  She actually beat 
THE MOONDOGS' NESTOR ORDH, and walked away with 22 more points from the fight.  Major 
screwup at THE ABYSMALS.  GOLPE MORTAL lost 15 points to ICARUS.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe GOLPE MORTAL will provide more easy wins...  CYNICA was 
reminded on the sands why SIR CUMFERENCE is Duelmaster.  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.  How 
well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, NESTOR ORDH!  Don't 
make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.   
     Warriors of KOLACT unite.  You have only your games to lose!  GOLPE MORTAL 
larned hers lesson (ICARUS taught it well), and we right likely won't be seein' 'im 
fight any THE MOONDOGS members with the same gusto.  Here's some advice:  study your 
opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  KOLACT is 
a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

All -- Wooof!  A less than normal damage doing slasher against Mountain Troll.  The
Troll was actually offering his arms for striking...chuckling and openly offering
them for wailing purposes. -- Still, mgr. Springborn

Golpe Mortal -- Big risks bring big rewards, and you did come wellll heeeeled...
leading to the nice whip-out and subsequent follow-up. -- Bob

Espinoso -- I should be tougher than that.  We'll see about tweaking the Con.  M'm
not feeling too gabby, don't you know, too busy reflecting on the crazy old days. --
Crazy Old Coot

Lunar Coyote -- Go bay at the light of the moon in the clean crisp air, I'm darkness
bound, don'cha know. -- Feline Fury

Dawn Aranar -- Good upgrades to your operating platform.  You know, somehow I don't
think the longspear is it. -- D. Girl

Icarus -- Nice wings.  I want a pair of my own.  Do those come off?  Let me help you
remove them. -- Thiaoo Trigg

These standbys have been teaching rather well lately.  I feel much more smarter. --
Odisio

Crazy Old Coot -- Thank you.  I wasn't bitten at all.  I hope you made it through
without a bite. -- Espinoso

Buffalo Bob -- My second loss.  I'm embarrassed.  Now I have to kill someone, just to
feel better. -- Golpe Mortal

Devil Girl -- I'm immune to your magicks.  Ha! -- Dawn Aranar

Thiaoo Trigg -- Gods, that name is WEIRD.  I love it. -- Icarus
P.S.  I thought in this cold the wax would be stable.  Huh.  Back to the drawing
board on the wings.

     I think it cracks when it gets too cold. -- Ed., ever helpful

Sir Cumference -- Wear it in good health.  You know, I'll miss you.  I think I'm
staying here, or around here somewhere, and I suppose you're headed for the Isle of
the Eye?  Give 'em a "what ho" from me. -- Persea Quell
P.s.  Hmm, do you figure it was the fifty fights that tipped you over the edge to
graduation?  Some days it's SOOO confusing trying to second-guess the system.

Ah, the Venomous Concubine.  How thrilling. -- Cynica
P.S.  She'd be more convincing if she had teeth.  How old IS she, anyway?

The Userous Merchant was pathetic.  There used to be a time when I viewed him with
caution, but now...the scales have fallen from my eyes, or something.  He's just a
worn-out moneylender who tried to gouge the wrong person. -- Nestor Ordh

Feline Fury -- Oh, cheese, a golem?  Heck.  I was all set to chase you up a tree and
howl at you, and then you turned out to be a golem.  Seriously disappointing, dude.
-- Lunar Coyote

Ghost of Miss Agnus -- Ma'am, I would not have done that to you, had I known.  I may
be a mangy cur, I'll have to check the definitions on that, but I treat a lady right.
It's part of my Latino charm, you know, and I wouldn't even DREAM of scorning and
disrespecting a lady such as yourself.  In fact, if you want me to nip that old
Mountain Troll on the hams, I would do it, just for you. -- Sen~or Lunar Coyote

Dawn Aranar -- Not possible, the sun was already up. -- Icarus

Arenamaster Filiaril -- I could do that. -- Lady Protector Persea Quell

Our congratulations and wild farewell party to Sir Cumference. -- the Moondogs

Lord Protector Sir Cumference -- Bend your thoughts to the protection and defense of
Kolact, sir!  Life on the Isle of the Eye is over-rated. -- Arenamaster Filiaril
