SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out MALCORN to see
what's new. MVP award for WOODEN ARROW? GREENWARDENS' proud of him after beating
FOREVER and getting 16 points. Talk about yer major upsets! FOREVER's match with
WOODEN ARROW cost him a loss of 11 points! Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the
most popular guy in all MALCORN. He got the most challenges. (But what about
proposals?) Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think BATTERY should
let KUNG-FU MASTER be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Who was the
wiseguy that said MALCORN's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Victory Tavern?
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? See if I ever talk to LIL E. TEE again! STALKING
HORSE was so low when He challenged he. Hhmph! Is this how TRIPLE CROWN advances,
by having their members (LIL E. TEE) fight people that are really below them
(STALKING HORSE)? People were asking me did MORTIKHAN REALLY challenge CITATION?
(all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight,
or anything, but CITATION wants me to write about it since he overcame MORTIKHAN.
Satisfied?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? 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 gotta leave. MALCORN is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
All -- I would like to apologize for not filling the DM Column. I had two entries,
and both failed to appear. They were quite long, so instead of re-rewriting it, I
will let Battery summarize both stories briefly. -- Zeus
City of Malcorn -- It is I, a stranger to your land, your Duelmaster for a while,
Battery, wanting to talk with you and share some important facts that we feel you
should be aware of. By now, some of you figured out that we at Starbase 5, aren't
your ordinary run of the mill warriors. We are Cyborgs. Yes, you heard me
correctly.... We have a ship, Starbase One orbiting your planet as we speak. I just
received my new objective and I plan to meet it. We travel space and time seeking
many planets, doing research and scientific experiments. Even known to "disguise"
ourselves and take part in gladiatorial combat. We have been called shape shifters
by some. After all, I look, feel and act like a Shewish Giant, albeit a small one,
but none the less, a Shew. Anyway, I hope this sheds some light on the subject for
you, but because of lack of details, I will entertain questions. In closing, I would
like to add, that it is an honor to be Duelmaster in this magnificent City of
Malcorn. -- Battery
P.S. Oh yea, one more thing. We never really die.... Just ask Phantom Lord, or is
it Eclipso?
Lil E. Tee -- Super Charged huh? What rumors have you heard? -- Battery *smiling*
Citation -- Where did you come from? Have we met before? -- Mortikhan
P.S. Nicely done.
Bandit Prince -- Ha! you almost collapsed from exhaustion! I bet that scimitar felt
like a ton of bricks, you should've seen the look on your face! -- "ghost" of Phantom
Lord
Mayflower -- Why thank you, my dear! You're not half bad for a Shew. As for your
size, some of the best warriors are small Shews, just ask Battery. -- "Ghost" of
Phantom Lord
Charismatic -- No, fighting you just felt like it. -- Forever
Lil E. Tee -- Drat. Run down and kicked by a horse in a tender location, will I ever
live that down? -- Stalking Horse, to whom such things shouldn't happen
Okay, you guys, the Karnhorns are sending spies again. What are we going to do about
it? -- Oakleaf
Why are they always sending dangerous criminals into the arena? Surely there are
some harmless ones around! -- Wooden Arrow
I agree. Send us the white-collar wimps. -- Greengrove
*I* didn't mind. -- Mayflower
P.S. Of course, he was TIRED by the time he got to me.
Forever -- Well, I guess you answered my question. Eighteen minutes may not be
forever, but 19 may as well be. -- Charismatic, yet winded
Zeus -- Sorry I didn't answer your question here, though I did in Kolact. But you
already know that thanks to Jorja. -- Sultan
Teaching Horse, er...I mean...Stalking Horse -- Fourteen skills taught to me in four
fights will get you a second challenge in a row every time. I promise I won't come
after you a third time (in a row, that is). Thanks a bunch. -- Lil E. Tee
12 January 2005

let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
