                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for RIZTAB.  Too bad, SWEET MAGIC, but 
DREAMERS was just too good to be stopped.  MVP award for HIPPASUS?  DREAMERS' proud 
of him after beating GAYLENE VOLLAS and getting 11 points.  Talk about yer major 
upsets!  GAYLENE VOLLAS' match with HIPPASUS cost her a loss of 3 points!  This 
Duelmaster is like something else!  ACE stopped DORA BELL dead in hers tracks!  Who 
was the wiseguy that said RIZTAB's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Warty 
Toad?  Don't look at me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?   
     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

Scurvy Lady -- I'm going to make you some lemon candy that is very, very lemony.
Acid, you know.  It will be good for your scurvy, besides giving your tongue a
thrill. -- Dora Bell

Tackle Box -- Er, ah.  One of those boxes with flowers and bows and pink-cheeded
blonde lassies?  I don't think so.  My stuff isn't LIKE that.  It's got more
character. -- Donnamira

Alcmaeon -- Ah, you probably shouldn't have eaten Givorsa's maple leaf candy.  I'm
not sure what she puts in it, but I think there must be a substantial portion of rum.
-- Gaylene Vollas

Hippasus -- You need more female dreamers.  We're good at it, you know.  We just
don't dream the same things. -- Givorsa Jimh
P.S.  For one thing, very few females dream of candied figs.  Or figs and honey, or
whatever it is you're trying to describe.  For us, it's chocolate.

Oh, gods, I almost felt sorry for this Khazrho the Zukali, not that I'd have let him
win because of it.  But he's five-foot-seven, and the Commission in its infinite
wisdom calls him Shewish?  I don't think so! -- Lusintilla Oban
P.S.  I think I will stuff him with candied ginger and citron and send him back to
Zukal.  Let them decide what to do with him.

All -- Most of us are taking a break until after the Face-to-Face, but we'll be back
in a turn or two. -- Sea Dogs

     We will await your return eagerly. -- Spymaster Torric
