SPY REPORT
Much has changed in MURSKA since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Biff! Pow! MURSKA
watched with glee as CHILDREN OF LLYR got knocked off top spot by BATTLE FROGS!
What's with JOCK MACBEAGH? He actually beat HAPPY FUN TIME's HIGHWAY 420, and walked
away with 18 more points from the fight. Major screwup at HAPPY FUN TIME. HIGHWAY
420 lost 13 points to JOCK MACBEAGH. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe HIGHWAY
420 will provide more easy wins... Try as it might, SAVAGE BEATING wasn't good
enough at persuading FURIOUS FROGPALER to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...
Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is
looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, BATTLE FROGS! In my
day, no team with a 36-22-0 would scare me off! What's the problem, SOUND? How well
I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, DEIRDRIE! Don't make idle
boasts, they may come back to haunt you. I hate going to the effort of writing about
the kind of fights that TORTURE gets in. He fights people like DEIRDRIE, 8 points
below. I thought TORTURE showed great skill and promise when he was subdued by
DEIRDRIE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You
young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Deirdrie -- You hit hard! -- Hum
Burglar Frog -- You big frog! You almost stole my life!! -- Mel
DA1 -- You fight good for unorthadox guy (are you dentist?)! You related to guy
named DA that killed the Dark Arena monster? Hope not, his manager sent him record.
-- Trim, mgr. of Sound
Hum -- Ah, I can do better than that! I can sing, and I have the voice for it. --
Deirdrie
I lost to the Khalhums Dwarf? The shame! I blame the Commission, which has this
weird idea that I'm Ratani, rather than Shewish. Silly of them. -- Jock MacBeagh
Jock -- No, you dummy, *I* lost to the Khalhums Dwarf. Well, actually, he tells me
he is from Murska, not Khalhums, but that's just a detail. YOU tripped over a frog
in the dark. -- Fin mac Karmek
Mace Face Frog -- Just one glimpse of your mug was enough for me. -- Sean ap Kormak
P.S. Would you consider a closed helm?
Red -- You're footling, right? -- Oisin
