                                      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!  Hey 
everybody, watch out for KNUCKLE, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing 
ANGUS ARGUS like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in 
the top ten was CLYDE, who dropped 8 points after a disappointing (to say the least) 
bout with UGLY GENTLEMAN.  Unlike most arenas, ALE'CHAI TALLSKY managed to get its 
challenge off against the 33-11-0 TOURNEY SCUM.  Our battling duelmaster ALE'CHAI 
TALLSKY has managed to hold the title, fending off TOURNEY SCUM's none too subtle 
advances.  Better luck next time, BUSY, BUSYTOWN.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed 
protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid LOST CAUSE, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does MURSKA really have that many 
liars?  For those of you who like math, try this one:  LOST CAUSE + Weapons That go 
Boom = PHILANTHROPISTS + Avoid City.  And who is this BOOMSHAKALAKA you ask, with 108 
points and a 9-5-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!  In a touching display by a 
'touched' warrior, BOOMSHAKALAKA went after DRENDAN O'KAI, who was higher by 23 
points.  Well, when the dust settled, BOOMSHAKALAKA defeated DRENDAN O'KAI.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they 
will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, there's the manager of the MURSKA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got you 
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

Pacifest -- How bad it is, to ruin a perfect record on a challenge. -- Pane

Boomshakalaka -- That was a quick fight, maybe I'll have better luck next time. --
Clyde

Ugly Gentleman -- Ah.  Your manager doesn't seem to think well of 
your looks.  And you certainly aren't a model for chivalry.  But 
then, you're a gladiator.  And, for that matter, so am I.  Oh, well. -- Brenna

The Venomous Concubine attempted to bite me, but the fact that she 
was foaming green at the mouth made me wary. -- Drendan O'Kai

As ever, the Dangerous Criminal has once again proven himself well 
titled. -- Angus Argus
