SPY REPORT
Welcome RIZTAB. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Some people say I ramble
too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well SWEET
MAGIC moved up 0, to 3rd. What's with HULL SCRUBBER? He actually beat DREAMERS'
ARISTOCLEA, and walked away with 16 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at
SEA DOGS while they watched HULL SCRUBBER clobber ARISTOCLEA. She lost 8 points and
got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try as she might, G.I.I.L. wasn't
good enough at persuading SCURVY LADY to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... I
suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?
Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, DREAMERS!
Management must be dealin', as the boys at BLADES OF TERROR ain't reelin'! DREAMERS'
mad! What do people see in DORA BELL? Hers 13-35-1? SWEET MAGIC ain't talkin', but
she's got 75 points.
Warriors of RIZTAB unite. You have only your games to lose! Who will dare
fight TACKLE BOX, after he returned from the Dark Arena? (For the record 15-8-1 is
72, and has he points) Hmm... More surprises must remain in store for me, if RUSTY
ANCHOR can return from the Dark Arena. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting
younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want
to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Guillotine -- Hmm, I think we may have covered this before: of some use in cutting
taffy, but otherwise, why would we need one in the Sweet Shop? Although I have heard
of a brandy by that name, said to "take the top of your head off." The trouble with
brandy candy is that it loses its alcohol in the cooking. -- Givorsa Jimh
P.S. But congratulations on having the tv challenge.
Gill -- Does that mean you breathe under water? If so, there's a flooded building
that invites exploration.... -- Dora Bell
Aristoclea -- I can't say I care for people who have "greek noses" and look down them
at me, but you've given me an idea for a really superior pastry with honey and nuts,
so I guess I'll forgive you. Not that you can help the nose, I s'pose. -- Donnamira
Black Six -- At least it wasn't an ace of spades. That would be bad. -- Gaylene
Vollas
P.S. Licorice... I could do something with licorice.
Alcmaeon -- A robust lemon sauce, quite sharp, I think. Not sure yet what goes under
it. -- Lusintilla Oban
We salute the tourney participants, but... why was Salvage sent to the Dark Arena
after going 10-3 in Apprentices? Ten-three isn't all that bad, surely? -- Jorja and
Sweet Magic
