SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to CHIMLEVTAL once again! Bein' on top is great while it lasts,
THE KINDRED. But how many friends do you have now? What's with KATANA? He actually
beat PIRATES' TOOTHLESS BILL, and walked away with 14 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at AVENGERS while they watched KATANA clobber TOOTHLESS BILL. He
lost 9 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. I'm sure
CHIMLEVTAL is excited about LODEN NORVIS, the new Duelmaster from MIDDLE WAY 7.
(remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... I suppose you want to hear
some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... Fighting is a better
craft than farming, SHO, but you have to pay your dues. Being challenged by JACK
SPARROW, 16 points above you, is dues. JACK SPARROW defeated SHO. I bet JACK
SPARROW could beat two-year-olds, too. Well, AVENGERS knows who to set their sights
on.
Warriors of CHIMLEVTAL unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior
has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
CHIMLEVTAL is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time
for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Swiftedge -- If you cut my throat, I won't tell you all my secrets. -- Oswell Quirn
P.S. Although the converse is not necessarily true: if you don't cut my throat, I
might tell you some, but not all. Some things are not meant to be shared!
Valyndara -- I know there's a school of thought which holds that it is always wrong
to strike a lady. I think that needs a few clauses, such as "except when you face
one in the arena." But I assure you that I wouldn't strike you in a social
situation, except under extraordinary conditions, such as to get you out of the way
of a crossbow bolt or other immediate menace. Which being said, how about joining me
for dinner? -- Loden Norvis
Dumb Bob -- Yeah, well, I figure your manager should know.... -- Mandin Orle
"Sho"? That's your whole name? I thought dwarves went in for more syllables, and
some colorful epithets. Maybe it would help establish your identity and your
confidence if you added to that? -- Ombert Qurl
P.S. I could probably make some suggestions.
Singalek -- I would be glad to give you another chance, but it will have to be
privately rather than under the auspices of the Gladiatorial Commission. They've
slung me out of the arena here. I have not, so far as I know, gone off to the Isle--
who wants to? The place is crowded beyond belief. We might meet behind my
guildhouse and do a little sparring. -- Kolum Marod
We salute Chimlevtal's tourney participants. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
