SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for TURKEY TARTARE, who flew up 16 points in
the rankings after mashing KELLY GALL like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And
falling like a basher in the top ten was KELLY GALL, who dropped 12 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with TURKEY TARTARE. In front of all the
crowds, HAMMERHEAD took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two
weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that URBAN JUNGLE was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of URBAN JUNGLE's
warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch ON THE ROCKS'
act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from URBAN
JUNGLE. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, KAILIE RHINN would be
president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to win. DECEMBRE of URBAN
JUNGLE had better have a good reason for challenging down 12 points in a challenge
which she won. I thought DECEMBRE showed great skill and promise when she overcame
KAILIE RHINN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). This week 11-9-3 ABEL BROWN was sent to the
Dark Arena. I know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice of
this. 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?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya next time
I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Abel Brown -- You keep them monsters busy! -- On the Rocks
Skadi -- On a roll, eh? -- On the Rocks
All -- All we learned last turn was one lousy initiative skill. That's .2 skills per
warrior. What's with you people? Afraid to teach us something? -- On the Rocks
Children of LLyr and Urban Jungle -- Would you like a private arena where you only
fight each other? -- On the Rocks
Turkey Tartare -- There's something fishy about you, and I'm not talking about the
hidden FE. Do us proud in the mail-in, will you? -- Rabel
Hammerhead -- I smell sandbagger but I will not complain. You've just single-
handedly helped me to graduation. -- St Magdalene
I beat a convicted assassin! Felt so much better (and more ethical) than a beggar or
slave. -- Oban
Frozen Image -- You don't want to be frozen when someone is banffing you. -- Banff
Gosh, absolutely not! Your toes might fall off!
All -- Sorry, no Duelmaster Column this turn either. But if you let me stick around
up here for one more turn, I promise you I will write one. -- St Magdalene
St Magdalene -- Way to go, sister! -- Tamra Kai
Decembre -- Not my month, obviously. -- Kailie Rhinn
Skadi -- I wasn't clutching my wound, dammit. That would be a pointless thing to do.
I was trying to get my cemetery card out of my helmet. -- Ghost of Dinnian
Noel -- Gotcha! -- Tarran O'Harec
P.S. Jorja says that isn't enough of a personal, but I say it was my fight, and I
can give it the personal I want to.
Lord Snow -- You may be victorious NOW, but spring is really close, and you will
MELT. -- Kelly Gall
Lot of you Urban Jungles around here. I didn't think we were that urban, and
definitely not climatically suited to a jungle. -- Jorja
Well, I suppose I could make a worse beginning than victory over a Persistent Beggar.
-- Kormek ap Kai
