                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome MALCORN.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with AGATE?  He 
actually beat DARK CREATION's CYBERMANCER, and walked away with 22 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at GREENWARDENS while they watched AGATE clobber 
CYBERMANCER.  He lost 18 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
MALCORN, set your sights on KUNG-FU MASTER.  He'll be happy to entertain all requests 
after defeating QRYSYS.  REXROTH looked pretty Duelmasterlike as he took MALCORN's 
top spot with 102 points.  Now, what will QRYSYS do?  Advice to fighters with a 1 
will--give up fighting!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  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.  
MALCORN is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Time for 
my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Cybermancer -- Ouch?  Shouldn't you be a golem?  We've probably wondered about that
already. -- Agate
P.S.  Or how about a lunixtic?  Or maybe that's me.  Or is it linuxtic?  I get
confused.

Apok -- I saw a picture once of an apok tree.  I think that's what it was called.  It
had fluffy stuff around the seeds. -- Rockwood
P.S.  Obviously, if I'm a tree--the jury is still out on that--I'm a different kind.
No fluffy seeds for me.

Stariel -- What the heck?  What are you up to, LOSING?  Given the match, losing was
MY move. -- Stonebow

Starlyn Fyrefly -- You're welcome to come perch on my branches if things get too
intense around your guildhouse. -- Bristlecone
P.S.  I may not be pretty, but I'm tough.

Drovanitar Lix -- If that's the work of your gods, you need new ones. -- Silverbird

Burk of Starbase 5 -- A very interesting perdicametn.  However I feel I have exactly
what you need.  I know of beings which can travel through angles between dimensions,
creating doorways instantly between points seperated by vast distances.  I believe
that your technology should be sufficient to duplicate the pheromone this being used
to identify members of its race from its prey, all other races.  I well send it to
you bound with a spell that will allow you to negotiate with it once you duplicate
its pheromones.  That should be sufficient to deliver your forces to the outer edges
of the universe.  Now, should you encounter resistance out there, organic resistance,
I have a spore, a fungus, that upon interacting with any significant amount of blood
will result in the instantaneous growth of a mi-go, a fungoid being with the capacity
to kill several grown men at a time.  The best part, as the fungus becomes drenched
in blood the creature will divide, generating a second killing machine with the same
divisive properties.  Thus one spore can become an army, merely by killing.  I will
send you both items.  I assume you will be satisfied.  Feel free to contact me if you
need anything else.  I am always looking for new spellsa and technology to advance
the science of necromancy. -- Herbert P.L. West
