SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for MURSKA. Too bad, DEAD MUSICIANS, but
CHILDREN OF LLYR was just too good to be stopped. MVP award for EVINDAL? CHILDREN
OF LLYR's proud of him after beating MORDANT DESERTER and getting 13 points. Talk
about yer big time losers! ANGUS ARGUS got smashed by DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, and lost
16 points! What a putz! JANICE JOPLIN fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits
fighting and loses the title. No one said she was a genius... And I was just
getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome TOURNEY SCUM.
Aren't BUSY, BUSYTOWN proud. (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said MURSKA's
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Victory Tavern? Don't look at me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff.
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Hey you guys, don't you think your
families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Murskan Patriot -- With a name like that, you could be a standby. But if that kind
of job security is what you're aiming for, you missed one critical point: You didn't
lose. Standbys lose. It's what they do. Do it. -- Bildis
The Big Bopper -- Well, THAT just made my day. I don't thank you. -- Ghost of
Deirdre
P.S. Or...hmm. I can carry a tune, am I now a candidate for singer in your band?
Ah. The Veteran Mercenary. You can see why he retired. Too old and battered to
hold his own on the front lines any longer. -- Drendan O'Kai
P.S. Not that I can see any reason for a sane person to WANT to hold his own on the
front lines. Rear lines, that's the place for me.
Fratsfa Slave. Hmm, do you suppose the Fratsfans send them here to lull us into a
false sense of security, and one of these days they're going to ATTACK? It'd be just
LIKE those sneaky Andorians. -- Angus Argus, prepared to exercise acute vigilance
against this possibility
Mandolin Wind -- You should thank me for that. It isn't every gladiator who can
spend a few days resting without his manager kicking up a fuss. -- Brenna

Order of Lost Souls
Where there is a beginning, there is an end. Where there is a whole, there is a
part. Where there is light, there is dark. All these are found to be true and along
with the most important, when something is lost it can always be found.
Many a person has walked this land in one form or another. Some truly believe
that here is there and there is here but who really knows? Among the peoples of this
great land many have felt lost in time and in place. Some have gone as far as to be
lost of soul....
Although most are thought to have been born into this world in a mortal way, no
one can be sure. Life is something they have in a way but a torturous joke to them
in all others. They live in a sense as they are here and now and having mind and
knowledge. They are flesh and blood of one sort of another. They cast a shadow as
all things living do. Blood courses through their veins.
These beings have become wraiths drifting here and there, knowing that they
truly belong nowhere. Searching for that one thing that they seem to be missing or
the one thing in them that puts them beyond others. These people have become masters
of many things as time seems to have no hold. For not even time can find those that
are truly lost. Many of these beings have drifted toward the gladiatorial games. In
the blood and chaos of the arenas something holds them like no other. It's the loss
of something they have never had or something they had so long ago it seems to have
never been. LIFE.
A few of the more shall we say "human" of these beings have settled into many
arenas around the land. The loss of life and the crazed emotions of the arenas
giving them glimpses of things they longed for but seemed incapable of attaining.
A number of these lost ones saw in each other something that might be able to
help the other. They spent many a day traveling to and fro, for what is time to one
who it doesn't touch. The more time they spent together the more they seemed to
change. No one noticed the change in the others but each recognized it in himself.
Years passed and the changes stopped. Each had been changed in different ways but
all felt more whole. A discussion ensued between them. They came to a realization
that in each other they had found parts of themselves that had been missing. Then
came the next thought. If they could find more of like minded lost ones they might
eventually find what they always wanted, their true selves.
The group settled down to think things through. They finally came up with an
idea they all could accept. They would form an organization that through their
arenas through out the land they would seek out other lost ones. If they were of
like mind they would be invited to join the group and seek that special something
they all desired.
This was how it began and how it still is. The Order of Lost Souls was formed
and the search began. The original members numbered six. They were Baphomet,
Blackstorm, Hammer, JGW, Reaper and Wretch. These members of the Order spread their
gladiator stables through out the realm seeking others like them. Through blood and
death they lived through others. One day hoping to live for themselves. For as they
all know what is lost must eventually be found....
