SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Say good-bye to GREAT UNKNOWN, as they are pushed from the coveted
top team spot by the MADTOWN stable. A stormcloud is brewing over the THE MIDDLE WAY
4 guildhouse. Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 2-3-1 may send the team to
the Dark Arena. Coming up with a solid 4-1-0 outing, MADTOWN has advanced 3 places
in the rankings. It looks like the guys(?) at AMAZONS had a good week as they went
3-1-0 to put them in 2nd place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for
BLITZKRIEG, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing SHEZA BANSHEE like a
melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was
SHEZA BANSHEE, who dropped 15 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout
with BLITZKRIEG. Well, everybody's pal GIGLIE moved his record to 34-6-0 by
defeating PUPPET in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 4 recognition points. 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!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid MADTOWN, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does LYRATILAN really have that many liars? For those of you who like math, try this
one: MADTOWN + Weapons That go Boom = ERRATA + Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if
challenges were votes, CHAVIN DE HUANTAR would be president. Although it may be a
contest he doesn't want to win. Getting lots of flowers from sympathetic fans was DR
DAN, who was successfully challenged by TEQUILLA GORILLA who had a mere 22 points
more than DR DAN. I just want to congratulate DR DAN on beating TEQUILLA GORILLA.
He overcame his superior-ranked opponent and gained 15 points. Congrats! In a
touching display by a 'touched' warrior, VINCE went after KEG STAND, who was higher
by 23 points. Well, when the dust settled, VINCE was defeated by KEG STAND.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes
and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, there's the manager of the LYRATILAN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos),
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
"The battle begins." Except when it isn't a battle but more of a casual encounter,
or even a lazy meeting in the park.
Shooter Girl -- I suppose all that hopping gives you great endurance, doesn't it? I
have myself always found hopping to be exhausting. Me for the sedentary life and no
hopping. -- Trellin Xiss
P.S. A skill is nice, thanks, so long as I don't have to hop with it.
Sympathy -- Well, THAT was no way to demonstrate your name! -- Ghost of Ekbard
Ingorish
P.S. Still, it's retirement and a chance at the quiet life, so I'll take it.
Jifi -- That was definitely an error there. You won. That was wrong. The win
should have been MINE. And your blood, too. -- X. Rolph Tupp
When I offered the Cult Member a chance to surrender and he took it, he leaned close
to me and said he'd "return that favor soon." What did he mean? Should I be afraid
to go about alone? -- Doberum Hannis
P.S. I really don't trust any of these cults. They can be so extreme.
Anne -- Well, I'd LIKE to avoid you, but how do I do that if my manager won't commit
to a strategy sheet each turn? -- Foirene Ilmer
P.S. I could have used more than one skill. No need to be stingy, is there? In
fact, you SHOULD have taught me more, because I'm intensely charismatic and
attractive and you should have WANTED to teach me more.
Demsiado Pesado -- Being dead, I no longer have to think, and it is such a relief,
you can't imagine! But I'm sure you're impressive if you want to be. -- Ghost of
Ekbard Ingorish
Noachian -- I've got a real problem with the "bow down" part. -- Jorja
Demsiado Pesado -- It was a pleasure indeed to accompany you to Caleam, though I
found some of the dishes offered us there a bit, ah, over-complex. Still, it made a
change, don't you think? Do you suppose we can get away with doing it again?
They're promising a "big bash" due to the graduation of one of the chefs. -- Doberum
Hannis
Funky Folk -- The Lizard Man wants you to know how much he enjoyed the cris-peeze you
sent. -- Martin Shew, spokesshew for the Dark Arena
