                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly MURSKA games.  NUADH AP GWAIR caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PERSISTENT BEGGAR and was 
awarded 15 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, THE 
USEROUS MERCHANT put down MICHTER, causing him to lose 5 points of recognition in the 
process.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail RABEL, 
Duelmaster of MURSKA!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in MURSKA 
seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In MURSKA "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  MURSKA, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the 
names of thy guilds is URBAN JUNGLE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the 
weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of ON THE ROCKS are catching the bulk of 
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Mighty 
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  KAILIE RHINN take warning!  
You have more than a few enemies in MURSKA.  As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip 
of fear lays hold of his heart.  True, LORD SNOW?  Who could miss your "brave" 
challenge of KAILIE RHINN?  The Fates are not kind to the cowardly, as evidenced by 
the fact that LORD SNOW was subdued by KAILIE RHINN.  And who can now doubt that 
KAILIE RHINN is a hardy opponent?  BRACKLA must really be harboring a grudge against 
the CHILDREN OF LLYR guild!  Merciless, 18 challenged down KELLY GALL points this 
week to duel with she.  All the city knows the duel went in favor of BRACKLA.  I 
shall not fail to spread the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Walk proud, warriors of CHILDREN OF 
LLYR!  By striking down SKADI you have avenged the honor of your dead.  Your virtue 
is known to all in MURSKA.  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the 
arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember:  a fool flies into a 
rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani

Lord Snow -- This is a message of the advancing season, isn't it?  I think Debby
Tonte has the right idea, let's go where there's a beach and sun! -- Kailie Rhinn

Brackla -- The stewards, who should know, say that your win was the result of luck.
I hope so, and I'd like some of that luck myself, dammit. -- Kelly Gall

Skadi -- What do you do for amusement when you don't have a child of Llyr to kill? --
Ghost of Gwair ap Kai
P.S.  I take great pleasure, in so far as my condition allows that, in the knowledge
that I will never teach you another skill.  Ever.

Noel -- You remind me of my least favorite holiday. -- Tarran O'Harec
P.S.  Because of the rampant commercialism.

Old Rip Van Winkle -- How about if you go back to sleep? -- Madon ap Llew
