SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
MURSKA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. CURSED LANDS turned their 1-0-0 turn
into a 6th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get
put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see HIGHWAY 420 win a
fight and gain 29 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, HIGHWAY 420 beat DEIRDRIE and DEIRDRIE
lost 22 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend
the throne, URCHIN has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm
earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as VAMPIRE SQUID takes the
Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and
bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their
fights? Skill? Ha!
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. FOOT OF PRIDE, I suppose you'll be glad to know you
were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And
who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It
was SEA DOGS. Ha ha ha ha!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for MURSKA's
morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in MURSKA to get a drink than The Dragon's
Hangover! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you
have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see the crowds are getting
restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Oisin -- You flat-out creamed me! You deserved the win. -- Hum
Privateer -- After I fell and dropped my weapon, I'm just glad I survived the fight!
Time to re-evaluate my challenges. -- Mel
Colleen -- Very impressive fight! You are accurate and hit hard. I'd have more
respect for you if you didn't try to kill me! Thanks for the learns! -- Tone
Titanyen -- Honestly, I'm surprised I won because you almost killed me twice! What's
up with that? -- Slam
Sea Dogs -- Well... the idea of having a vampire squid around does not actually
appeal, but we are glad for the gladiator so designated. But how can this be, since
it washed out in the Dead Tourney? -- Children of Llyr
And speaking of the recent tourney, we salute the participants generally and
especially (sigh) Torture, tourney victor. Obviously, Murska has got some bad karma
to work out, getting all these really nasty gladiators.... -- Children of Llyr
Tone -- Anyone tries to tie up MY tongue will get bitten! -- Colleen
P.S. How about Kraki's House of Really Good Steaks for a start?
You're KIDDING us! We actually went five-and-oh? No wonder we were Top Team on the
Move. Time to CELEBRATE... because this won't last. It never does. -- Children of
Llyr
