                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome DULLENS.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Bein' on top is great while 
it lasts, CARDOW HUNTERS.  But how many friends do you have now?  What's with THE 
LIBRARIAN?  She actually beat DULLENS' TOODLES ENRAGED!, and walked away with 13 more 
points from the fight.  Major screwup at CARDOW HUNTERS.  STARSINGER lost 9 points to 
TOXIC SLUDGE.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe STARSINGER will provide more easy 
wins...  GRAY BEAR was reminded on the sands why THE BEAKSTER 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.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You 
young rapscallions, take note!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  The 
end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
