                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
MURSKA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see BARTHOLOMEW SILLS win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly.  Tsk, 
tsk, DEMONIC DUNGBEETLE beat AISSE and AISSE lost 6 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster DARK CHAMPION Dark Arena Challenged 
this turn.  And if variety is the spice of life, MURSKA may be getting bland, as 
DELYSSA stays top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I 
telling you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, MURSKA?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  MURSKA, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  
SATAN'S SWARM the most avoided team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it 
looks like HOUSE JHEREG avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be 
losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  WALRUS FACE was challenged more times this turn than 
the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  And we have ORI OF 
SMALLCLIFF in a challenge, going down 8 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought 
ORI OF SMALLCLIFF showed great skill and promise when he overcame WALRUS FACE.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for MURSKA's 
morgue.  More variety.  Whoa!  I'll even buy DELYSSA a drink tonight!  Anyone who can 
come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on hers good side!  We're all going to 
die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     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.  Just wait 'till next time I show up 
here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must 
leave now-- Snide Clemens
