SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ZENSU, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Practice pays for BORIS KARLOFF, who pummelled BLONDE
GRENADE, to pocket 17 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, BORIS KARLOFF
was winsome, after beating BLONDE GRENADE and seeing her lose 15 points. A certain
someone saw PISTON HURRICANE at The Victory Tavern with the shakes, and now he fails
to show up to defend his throne. What a pathetic slob! Now I can't insult DARK
LENORA, as she has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop
me if I lay it on too thick) So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last
week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from
the lion, so did the "warriors" in ZENSU avoid AS FAR AS SIAM. The warriors of AS
FAR AS SIAM found their efforts at combat frustrated as WAR-C-KERS apparently had
more important things to do than fight. Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and
BLONDE GRENADE is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't BEYOND THE PALE
proud!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A
certain tavern in ZENSU would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!--

On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's
Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills
on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could
DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
