SPY REPORT
Hail SOLVEN! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. 4-LETTER CURSE WORDS stable has parlayed this turn's 3-0-1 into a 3 space
move up the rankings. This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work, guys! And let's
see, SHOOT fought GALLANTINS MORIK and gained 20 points and contributed to 4-LETTER
CURSE WORDS' 3-0-1. CRACKHEAD has lost to NAFISAH, falling 7 points, while helping
make CRY HAVOC a 0-3-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed,
and TASHELL remains SOLVEN's top warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. KELLUMBO'S KIDS has cause to stand
tall, as they were SOLVEN's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And guess who avoided KELLUMBO'S KIDS stable the most? Believe it or not,
it was THE REPUBLICANS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was
KELLUMBO'S KIDS' warrior NAFISAH. More fighters challenged her than challenged the
Duelmaster! Tsk, tsk, tsk. HOT TUB JOHNNY, does your manager know you're
challenging down 22 points to fight BELISSA HOUGH from MIDDLE WAY 15? We're not
surprised to hear that HOT TUB JOHNNY subdued BELISSA HOUGH, but I bet it would be
interesting to hear why KELLUMBO'S KIDS made such a challenge.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Had I not seen it, it would be hard
to believe. KIDNERGUARDIAN was sent to the Dark Arena and lived to tell about it!
Makes you think, no? Whatever bright future GALLANTINS MORIK may have had, it's all
history now. The manager of MIDDLE WAY 15 has lost a promising 3-1-1 warrior. We'd
like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who
you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, SOLVEN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Our turn envelope burst open in the post office (or so I'm told, I wasn't there), and
a lot of turns fell out. Some--not all--of the fights and other pages showed up at
the guildhouse about five days later. If there's something missing from our
personals, blame it on the post office, okay? We're doing our best here. -- Jorja,
the Middle Way
Masochist -- Ah! Good thing my sword had a can-opener attachment, right? I was used
to looking at that little hook and thinking, what the heck will I ever use that for?
Now I know. Thanks for enlightening me. -- Edgiles Kapp
P.S. I notice that in our fight, and just about all the others we got (don't know
about the ones we didn't got, obviously), "those in the stands shift their attention
to the warriors." What was going on up there in the stands that was holding
everybody's attention so strongly?
P.P.S. Don't trust those insurance salesmen, they are NOT there to help us. They
just want to make money, and paying it out to the Infirmary doesn't help THEM, drat
'em. I say go to the Userous Merchant, borrow a little, and make it clear that if
you aren't fit to fight every week, i.e., if you don't get the health care you need,
you can't pay him back. Of course, he'll probably put the cost of the said health
care on your bill, but with any lucky you'll die or graduate before he gets annoyed
enough to send his leg-breakers around.
P.P.P.S. Congratulations on having a tv challenge to use.
Simpleton -- Hey, you've got a tv challenge, too! Way to go! -- Dolby Jossel
P.S. Why would I want to avoid a nice-looking woman? You find yourself in need of
an escort, just give me a call, okay?
Hot Tub Johnny -- You again! At least you didn't waste my time with a drawn-out
match. I've got things to do, places to be, and interesting people to meet. --
Belissa Hough
P.S. If I hadn't been dangerously stunned, I would have figured out what was going
on up in the stands, but unfortunately, I was. Drat.
Shux -- As regards the outcome of that fight, all I can say is "shucky-doo." Too
embarrassing for more words than that. -- Chucker Istta
P.S. The "several days' bedrest" part was good, though. I can't seem to get enough
sleep at the guildhouse, people getting up with the chickens (I wouldn't get up with
chickens, nasty stupid birds) and banging around all the time. It's exhausting just
watching some of 'em.
Giuliani -- Well, heck. I thought you'd be a woman. Juilianne or something, you
know? I guess I was a little annoyed when it didn't turn out that way. Nothing
personal. -- Gallantins Morik
P.S. Why lie? It was personal. I was personally annoyed by your non-femininity.
