                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Hey everybody, watch out for CAT IN THE HAT, who flew up 18 points in 
the rankings after mashing WENDIGO like a melon.  Keep your eye on this beast.  And 
falling like a basher in the top ten was WENDIGO, who dropped 15 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with CAT IN THE HAT.  Going for the gusto and 
coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was MALCORN's M. CHARDINEE, who was turned 
away from the Duelmastership by AZAZEL.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an 
onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MALCORN arena.  Here's a 
song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad GREENWARDENS?  Big bad GREENWARDENS.  Big 
bad GREENWARDENS.  MALCORN's afraid of the big bad GREENWARDENS.  Tra la la la la!  
For those of you who like math, try this one:  GREENWARDENS + Weapons That go Boom = 
MARKS PARTY + Avoid City.  And who is this BARTHOLOMEW you ask, with 52 points and a 
8-4-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Knowing when to use the right tactics at 
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in MALCORN have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  And remember, you can pick your friends 
and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown 
Spymaster

Wendigo -- Not today, okay?  I've got some life to take care of. -- Redbird
P.S.  But I wouldn't have minded a skill or two.

Sugar Beet -- Sweet thing, I wanted to crush you for the syrup, but the arenamaster
wouldn't let me, and while I was coping with that disappointment, you whammied me.
That was unnecessary, surely. -- Mossrock

Safflower -- Bottle blonde, eh?  I should have guessed. -- Rock Maple

An Embezzling Scribe?  Why is this happening?  What is the novelty of a scribe
embezzling that it seems worthy of remark?  All those financial scribes are
untrustworthy. -- Wind Rider

What's the poor Convicted Thief to do when he comes up against someone with no
pockets, eh?  And while he was puzzling over that, I dropped a tree on his head. --
Stump

Toe Mae Toe -- What's wrong with being a wench?  I didn't call you a dog, or a broad
(though you are broad in the BEST places), or anything like that. -- Wind Rider

Safflower -- That's why people have to use high explosives to get rid of my kind.
We're durable and persistent. -- Stump

H. Phillip Lovecraft W. -- And the little fishes can nibble on his earlobes! -- Rock
Maple

Our congratulations to Azazel. -- Jorja and the Greenwardens
