                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
MURSKA.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  We now 
have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  CHILDREN OF LLYR now holds 
the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Hey everybody, watch out for CULANN 
COONTZ, who flew up 12 points in the rankings after mashing JUNGLE KING like a melon. 
Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the 
sands.  PITFALL HARRY was subdued by BALIN and drops 7 points.  Well, if ya don't 
shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  GARTH THE SEAMITE did not 
fight this week so his title was forfeit.  In front of all the crowds, PITFALL HARRY 
took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give the bum two weeks.  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 MURSKA arena.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Here's some advice:  warriors 
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick 
your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Garth the Seamite -- Thank all the gods you won that!  AND, that it gave me one more
turn in the Challenger Champs with its political points, a useful rating, that kind

of thing.  Graduation!  I'm heading out shortly to see what Faron is up to, him and
Morpeth.  He SAID there were adventures around his place, and I could come check 'em
out when I retired.  I'm looking forward to that. -- Balin

Hyper Viper -- Somebody should give you a bunch of, I dunno, valium or something.
You really need to calm down.  The way you lash around all the time, it wouldn't
surprise me if you snapped your OWN neck! -- Culann Coontz

Ugly Gentleman?  Ugly, yes.  Gentleman...doesn't show.  You're just another big,
overbearing person.  Bleh. -- Brenna

Boomshakalaka -- Hmm.  (bounces on his toes a few times, taps his fingers on his
scabbard)  Got a catchy rhythm there.  You might be able to do something with that.
-- Bildis

Oh, heck.  The Convicted Thief.  A convicted thief, anyway, I don't think it was the
same one as last time I met a thief.  Kinda boring, and only one skill. -- Drendan
O'Kai

Huh, no conversation yet, but we'll keep hoping.  Give us a reason to stretch
ourselves, someone. -- Jorja and the Children of Llyr
