SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for STELRA TIRINS, who
flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing VIOLET ORC like a melon. Keep your
eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in the top ten was TAMARIN MELLIRN, who
dropped 13 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with JACK THE RIPPER.
Unlike most arenas, ATTILA THE HUN managed to get his challenge off against the
24-26-0 VINN WULF. Well, everybody's pal ATTILA THE HUN moved his record to 19-0-0
by defeating VINN WULF in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 5 recognition
points. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at
that location.
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad DEATH INCARNATE? Big bad DEATH INCARNATE. Big bad DEATH INCARNATE.
ALJAFIR's afraid of the big bad DEATH INCARNATE. Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may
not be funny, but catch HEROESANDFOUNDONES' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to
be fairly deft at running from DEATH INCARNATE. Well just about everybody wants a
piece of VINN WULF, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. 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
