                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
CLIFFHOME.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  We 
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  JINDA-BAN now holds the 
crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Coming up with a solid 3-2-1 outing, 
JINDA-BAN has advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for TRIA 
MOPH, who flew up 11 points in the rankings after mashing DA9965439564 like a melon.  
Keep your eye on this gal.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was RIQUETTIE, 
who dropped 8 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with 
THWDGRNDBEEFPATTIES.  Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash 
yer clothes.  PAWS did not fight this week so his title was forfeit.  In front of all 
the crowds, ZIPPO took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give the bum two weeks. 
4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that 
location.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that U.A.K. was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal 
hygiene of U.A.K.'s warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but 
catch THE VIKINGS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at 
running from U.A.K..  Well just about everybody wants a piece of LOMBER BOS, who was 
this week's most challenged warrior.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  POULAN defied all odds and slew DARK 
CHAMPION in the Dark Arena.  The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as DARK 
CHAMPION's meat is notoriously tough.  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in CLIFFHOME have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  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

make thrilling reading.  Rather depressing, more like. -- Ballou Ys
P.S.  I can stand it if you can.  Just don't kill me, please?

Frzngrmdbeefpatties -- Good heavens, you must have gotten a special dispensation for
that mouthful! -- Articulate Lori

Poulan -- Well, actually...yes, what they claim I said.  I wouldn't have wanted to
kill some perfect stranger the first time I stepped out onto the sands. -- Riquettie

Thwdgrnbeefpatties -- You're just as bad as your teammate. -- Tria Moph

To all those lookin' for some easy pickins:  I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust.  I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action.  Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.
