SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, MURSKA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. BUSY, BUSYTOWN turned their 1-0-0 turn
into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get
put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BILDIS win a fight
and gain 8 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, THE USEROUS MERCHANT beat BRENNA and BRENNA
lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the
new, as CULANN COONTZ takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old
Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you
think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for MURSKA's
morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in MURSKA to get a drink than The Howling Wolf!
Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too.
Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see the crowds are getting restless, I
must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Pitfall Harry -- I'm tempted to write a column even though I lost, because I don't
expect you to do one. Well, and also from the relief of knowing that NEVER AGAIN
will I have to do a column, since I'm graduating and retiring. Gods, that feels
good! -- Culann Coontz
There's always Free Blades on the Isle. Don't get too comfortable. -- Jorja
The Userous Merchant tried to get silver from me, but I paid him in steel, instead.
And I ENJOYED it. I hate that guy. Every time I turned around, the interest rate
went up. I didn't even owe him money, and he was STILL trying to charge me. What a
villain. -- Bildis
I have my suspicions of that Captured Orc. Sure, he's not a GREAT warrior, but he
isn't THAT bad, and he could perfectly well get away if he really wanted to. He must
not be trying, which puts his title into question. Maybe he should be the Resident
Orc. -- Brenna
They say he's a Fratsfa Slave, but he's no Fratsfan. Red hair and a brogue--dead
give-away. I suppose he could have been enslaved BY the Fratsfans, but if that's the
case, why haven't we let him go? This kind of endless punishment isn't the Harkene
Way. When it's over, it should be OVER. -- Drendan O'Kai the bothered and annoyed
I object to beggars as a matter of principle. -- Deirdre
P.S. Though it's an unusual man who can surrender gracefully while lying on the
ground listening to the crowd chanting insults.
P.P.S. That's why I buried him in the sands. His grace was a reproach, and I won't
have that.
Huh, despite being fairly ordinary (on the good side of ordinary, mind you), I seem
to be a classic of my style. I guess that's why Jorja's muttering about Free Blades.
Damn. -- Culann Coontz
P.S. Good gods, I was involved in the ONLY fight between managed warriors that took
place! That's pathetic.
