SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
SUNSET. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Coming
up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, SWORD OPERA has advanced 4 places in the rankings. Hey
everybody, watch out for KORLAC, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing
LAGERKVIST like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't
pay to walk out on the sands. LAGERKVIST was beat by KORLAC and drops 15 points.
Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! GRIFTER made
a Bloodfeud against SLYTHR this week. Our battling duelmaster GRIFTER has managed to
hold the title, fending off SLYTHR's none too subtle advances. Better luck next
time, GRIM FANDANGO. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps
T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the SUNSET arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid NOMADIC TRIBE, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does SUNSET really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling
your rasberries, cause GRIM FANDANGO beats feet every time NOMADIC TRIBE smiles at
them. Try farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, URSA MINOR
would be president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to win. In a
touching display by a 'touched' warrior, HOGSNORT went after SURLY DECKHAND, who was
higher by 20 points. Well, when the dust settled, HOGSNORT was defeated by SURLY
DECKHAND.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Well, the arena is no place for slow learners (and
hopefully T.P.s) and DUDE demonstrated that very violently on URSA MINOR's body. In
the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, SLYTHR was mashed by GRIFTER, who let SLYTHR
know that killing members of BAD BEAT is a no-no. Here's some advice: warriors with
little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in SUNSET 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 real, and its been fun, but it
hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Dude and Bad Beat -- Your condolences on the loss of Tengri Khan are appreciated. We
will keep that in mind as we decide how many times to carry out the bloodfeud. The
first, at least, was successful. Such is the cost of killing. -- Ursa Minor and the
tribe
Stellita -- No, but rumor has it the name was inspired by the Monk. Sadly, my skills
with the horn would be of no use to your operas. I just barely avoided being named
"Thelonius Punk." -- Thelonius Hunk (How's that?)
Raider -- We have heard that Woody has patience, but you must be trying even the
patience of a hunk of wood! Good luck continuing to fight during the daytime. --
Thelonius
Bad Beat -- We are. -- Grim Fandango
Bad Beat -- Who's it gonna be, boys?? Pressure's on, don't lose that throne to an
upstart like me now.... -- Slythr
Lagerkvist -- Not on your best day. -- Nevermoor
Misashi San -- Heeeyyy, you can't go and re-avenge my revenge challenge! Looks like
my little specialty strat needs a bit of work. -- Stay Gold
Merry Leona -- Thankyouverymuchgoodnight!! -- Soma
Korlac -- Of course I was desperate! I told you THREE times that I had a broken
finger, and you insisted on performing an appendectomy on me instead. Gods! --
Breakspere
P.S. And my finger is still broken.
Whitman -- If you could only carry a tune, I would teach you a remarkable song much
admired in certain circles. -- Baron Tone
P.S. Not to mention the squares and crescents.
Soma -- You're too tall. -- Merry Leona
P.S. What else is there to say?
Hogsnort -- Euwh! (shaking his hand to clear it and trying to wipe off the front of
his armor at the same time) Cover your mouth next time. -- Rossmont
Lead Instructor -- Is that "Lead" as in a heavy metal, or "Lead" as in showing the
way? -- Stellita
P.S. Do you dance?
