SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for VURZHAL UR, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing MAXIMUS
like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk
out on the sands. MAXIMUS was subdued by VURZHAL UR and drops 15 points. Going for
the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was HEROESANDFOUNDONES'
MARSHALL, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by EXODUS. An apple a day
keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Congrats to VURZHAL UR for revenging the
death of his teammate (but more importantly, feeding MAXIMUS a bit of dirt). Ask not
the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ALJAFIR have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it
(boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The
Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Maximus -- I must consider that a MOST unfriendly bout! But then, I suppose I could
be said to have had it coming. Thing is, I didn't WANT it to come. (sigh) I don't
suppose Ronald Reagan did, either. Oh, well. -- Ghost of Obida Paniir
P.S. Head, jaw, head, head, and jaw? Sounds to me like aiming at my vitals, eh?
P.P.S. Yes, despite what Jorja says, or said, I did consider my head a "vital" part
of my body!
P.P.P.S. I have heard of one manager who always tries to kill whoever killed one of
his warriors, thus, if he meets the wrong OTHER manager, keeping a descending spiral
of death going and generally leaving a bad taste in the arena. Jorja doesn't do
that. While on the one hand, I'm rather indignant to know that she doesn't even plan
to bloodfeud, on the other hand, I'm dead, so I don't really care.
Exodus -- And the faster you leave, the happier I'll be about the whole thing. --
Vurzhal Ur
P.S. I'd be glad to leave myself, if it could be arranged any way short of dying.
Marshall -- What, you thought I was too tall? You're a fine one to talk! -- Erbin
Frorlin
I draw a line at usery, and I have no hesitation in making sure that merchant knows
it. -- Straight Line
Purple Orc -- No, seriously, that is just not a good color for you. I bet you'd do
better in, I dunno, maybe a bright, sunny yellow? -- Vinn Wulf
P.S. I'd be glad to "go beat up someone else," but Jorja never, well, almost never,
bestirs herself to issue challenges or avoids.
Ed. -- Yes...I think that is a fair description. -- Vinn Wulf
Gurzam Halli, merchant of Ratan but userous just the same -- I was throwing 'erbs at
you during our match last time to give you seasoning. You need it. -- Erbin Frorlin,
philanthropist
Marshall --
I take bloody dagger in hand, having borrowed it from Snide Clemens, to write to
you from "a warmer location." Yep, it's warm here, just like the agent said. And
that's just the temperature! The POLITICAL climate is HOT. Factions here, factions
there, avaricious chieftains just over the border, and a few plain old bandits.
Nothing of an epic quality, but plenty of action. Come down and visit! -- Tabeta
Unis

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to announce with glad hearts that Heathen

freely! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
