SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to MALCORN once again! What's with YERTLE THE TURTLE? It actually
beat DARK CREATION's LUTHERAX, and walked away with 17 more points from the fight.
Major screwup at DARK CREATION. SIMULACRUM lost 8 points to VARPULIS RUKH. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe SIMULACRUM will provide more easy wins... See how the
Duelmaster challenged DARK CREATION's SOMNAMBULANT? That sort of initiative is how
he got where he is now. SOMNAMBULANT was reminded on the sands why STRADA 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. The
most avoided team was DARK CREATION. In my day, no team with a 188-170-9 would scare
me off! What's the problem, TERMINUS? How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, LUTHERAX! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt
you. Fighting is a better craft than farming, WENDIGO, but you have to pay your
dues. Being challenged by GREEN EGGS & HAM, 18 points above you, is dues. GREEN
EGGS & HAM left the match looking worse than when it went in, after WENDIGO, with a
11-11-1, walked all over it. ALRYN of TERMINUS knows how to pick 'em. He challenged
MOSSROCK of GREENWARDENS who is up by 24. Now was this a wise move? ALRYN perhaps
got his just desserts, seeing as he was subdued by MOSSROCK and ended up with 29
recognition points.
Warriors of MALCORN unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior
has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good
skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Wendigo -- I hate trying to fight from the ground. Well fought. -- Avery
Lutherax -- Looks like I took a bit more than a flesh wound. At least there were
some cute healers at the infirmary. -- Quasil
Blocked Driveway -- Maybe next time you'll think twice before blocking my carriage.
-- Varick
Stump -- How's your head feeling? -- Alryn
Miyamoto -- I'll say I learned a decisiveness concept! I very decisively don't want
to meet YOU again! -- Mossrock
Bartholomew -- What I think is, I think someone should take and drop you into a
bottomless farm pond or something along that line. -- Rock Maple
Alryn -- Heck. -- Stump
P.S. You want a more interesting personal, you've got to write me one so I have a
starting point, boy.
Varpulis Rukh -- Ah. You thought perhaps that I was between a rukh and a hard place?
But I can fly, you see, and I did. I just flew right up out of the way. -- Redbird
Pie Eyed Piper -- But what KIND of pie, that is the question. -- Wind Rider, picky
about pies
Varick & Alryn -- On the contrary, the number of Embezzling Scribes sent to the arena
is an indication of the vigor with which the auditors have been investigating the
Public Scribe Service. -- Arenamaster Landon
P.S. You didn't think they entered the arena willingly, did you?
Stump -- The "Science Bofos" wern't entirely wrong. Simulacrum is more accurately a
clone. In this case a clone of Nyarlathotep, the greatest of dark creations. --
Herbert P.L. West
Mossrock -- Those were some impressive offensive manuevers for a total parry. It is
strange to be trampled underfoot of a fuzzy stone. -- Lutherax
Strada -- Uuurrgghh...mmmphh...zzzzz...duuurrnngg (as he picks a dagger out of his
eye)...gggrrrhh...zzzz. -- Somnambulant
