SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ZUWAYZA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see MODERN MATURITY win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MODERN
MATURITY beat VED BUENS ENDE and VED BUENS ENDE lost 5 points. You're breakin' my
heart. And if variety is the spice of life, ZUWAYZA may be getting bland, as JILL
OPPY stays top dog in the city. The Drunken Ox, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From ZUWAYZA's trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. Ooh,
I'm frightfully impressed, SPORTS III was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch
that ego swell, sports fans.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Arena Steward Verjazed -- Thanks for your kind words. I will do my part to advance
the cause of the Glorious Empire! However, I would like my own demesne as promised
by the Gladiatorial Commission. Somewhere in the Shewish Forest along the Trier
coastline. That should provide a nice view. Oh, I can own slaves now! I'll need a
herd of Shews to help clear the land and built my estate. A few Fratsfa slaves to do
menial tasks and for target practice. Have to keep my blade sharp. And whatever
else I'll need to establish myself as a Lord Protector of the Glorious Empire. --
Adara AL Zahra
Jill Oppy -- You do know I'm trying to get a fifth kill, don't you? It would be
easier to kill a standby than a sitting duelmaster. However you wouldn't be the
first duelmaster we've killed. Challenge me again if you wish. And protect your
vital organs. -- Ved Buens Ende
Hot Rod -- This horseless carriage thing will never work. It's much to dangerous.
The fight was very useful. -- Deo Volente
Standbys -- Yuck! We need some new blood down here in the initiates. We want to
fight real opponents! -- Heded Hag and Hideki Hao
Sports Ill -- Did you just call me a chick?! Do I look like a chicken to you? Don't
answer that! There's only one way to settle this, on the sands! -- Deo Volente
Deo Volente -- Well. Well, I didn't like getting chopped up, you know? But you've
probably got a point there. Ah...not the one on your sword! I mean about the Deo
carriage. If we lighten the underbody, get rid of the hood--just a wind-catcher,
that hood, might as well have air brakes!--and try that with the braided leather on
the tires.... Well, okay, I'm not sure about the braided leather bit, but if the
road's dry, I think you might have something, and I'm willing to give it a try. I
think if we do all that, and have a good pair of horse, that Deo might really
volente. Maybe even a record. It'll take me a few days to make the changes
lightening the body, but after that, first good dry day, wanna go for a ride? -- Hot
Rod
I considered the matter seriously, tested his reflexes and endurance, all that stuff,
and I just don't see how anyone could make an athlete out of a Captured Orc. Cannon
fodder pure and simple. Er, catapult fodder? Sword fodder? Anyway, that's no kind
of sportsman there. -- Sports Ill.
Maybe put him in a swimsuit? -- Ed.
I feel a serious concern about this Dangerous Criminal. Not, perhaps, that he will
endanger my maturity, but I fear for my longevity in his company. Can I avoid the
standbys? -- Modern Maturity
Ed. -- It makes a lot of difference HOW you press the attack. Flowers may be pressed
in boxes, leaves with hot irons and waxed paper. But attacks...are a difficult
matter. Hmm. Probably gelatin involved. Rather like pressed ham, perhaps? It's
tricky. -- Sports Ill.
Ugh. I'm up to six whole crackers today and I absolutely refuse to consider
either pressed ham or pressed attacks. -- Ed.
Noachian -- Indeed! Some day I'll tell you about the distaste with which I
approached the graduation of a parry-striker. (shudder) And now that I have moved
on to "graduate all the styles FROM ONE ARENA," well, I figure that will keep me busy
for a LONG time, running styles I really dislike. I actually HAVE done that with one
arena, which I didn't realize until I was going through the last tourney's mini-
overviews, so I guess I can do it, but... (shudder). P-strikes, lungers, and (gag)
total parries, mostly. -- Jorja
Lortis of Osksi -- "Drive slowly and smell the horses" is for old people. Young guys
like me, full of juice, just naturally crave speed. The wind in our faces, the bugs
in our teeth, all that. -- Hot Rod
Lek Tormuj, Merchant -- That is not my signature on that note, and don't kid me you
believe it is. -- Modern Maturity
Ed. -- Yes, them, too. Better to smell the horses than be trampled by them. --
Lortis of Osksi
So, do different breeds of horses smell different? -- Ed.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to announce with glad hearts that Heathen
Hatebred is no longer just a friend, but also an alliance-mate. Heathen brings a lot
with him to our alliance. His experience, talent, and loyalty will be a great
benefit to us all. Welcome Heathen; may all our enemies' blood continue to flow
freely! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
