                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of KATI-TEI.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Practice pays for 
ZING FREGADO, who pummelled LORIMINA, to pocket 23 points.  A certain someone should 
cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 13 points to ZING FREGADO.  
(Discrete enough, LORIMINA?) A certain someone saw WILLIAM CRAWFORD at The Dripping 
Blade with the shakes, and now he fails to show up to defend his throne.  What a 
pathetic slob!  In KATI-TEI, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find 
ourselves a new Duelmaster, DEATH'S DOORMAN.  So who's the team that's been walking 
into taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     And how sociable are KATI-TEI's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Perhaps the 
warriors of BIRDS should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  
As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of THE PLAGUE, so did that sorry 
team shy from BIRDS  
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Oh hard!  that to 
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my 
control, I must take my leave of this place.  Can anything compare to the pleasure of 
writing Spyreports for KATI-TEI?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

James Doolittle -- Ah, it's you.  How do you manage that "push-me-pull-you" effect?
The antelope thing was cool, especially when you got it singing harmony in stereo,
but in a gladiator, well, it's a shock to be attacked coming and going at the same
time. -- Forandin
P.S.  Jorja says that just shows my lack of flexibility, but I do bend-and-stretches
every day!

M. Chardinee?  It isn't that I have anything AGAINST him, but he isn't much of a
teacher.  Says it's all secret stuff to be taught only to initiates of the Chardinee
Society.  Bummer.  I could've used some skills. -- Rambling Ox

Well, darn.  I didn't mean to do that, and I guess now it's too late for it to be a
lesson to the Ambitious Guard about picking your ambitions carefully.  Of course, by
what I hear the arena staff insurance includes a resurrection clause.  Maybe it makes
'em reckless.  At least it makes me feel a little less like a heel. -- Valgard

Grunt 3 -- My, you grunts do cycle through, don't you?  Is it some kind of training
and testing operation? -- Lorimina, mildly curious

That was a Friendly Constable?  I wouldn't have said he was all so friendly, after
all, he tried to hit me! -- Terrpone
