SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, RODEKI? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, KING'S KREW, since COLOR ME
SUAVE took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see FRANKENBUTT win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, KANGAROO LIFEBOAT beat DALE and DALE lost 8 points. You're breakin' my heart.
Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, CRIX BREMOORE has lost the Title
of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with
the new, as RONALD MCDONALD 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!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
FLAGG'S FIVE, 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 CLOWNING AROUND. Ha ha ha
ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, SUSHEE SU was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I notice RONALD MCDONALD challenging
down 40 points to fight JOHN ROSE, CLOWNING AROUND doubtless has some rotten excuse
for such an insult to honor. And golly gee, RONALD MCDONALD bested JOHN ROSE.
Aren't we all surprised and impressed? THIRD BASE SPOCK was challenged by one of
CLOWNING AROUND's warriors this turn, with BOZO having a lead of 32 points going into
the fight. And sorry to say, BOZO defeated THIRD BASE SPOCK, leaving a bad feeling
with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term I'm looking for.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. We're all going to die in the end, so why
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of RODEKI. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Ronald McDonald -- Good cheeseburger, but the fries were soggy. -- John Rose
Third Base Spock -- Just remember, I'm always willing to do my special slice-and-dice
move again. Any time. -- Sushee Su
Virtuous Vixen -- It was the disappointment that did me in. Virtue is so...boring.
-- The Mole
Red Skelton -- That was unhandsome of you! -- Handsome Does
P.S. It would be worse if my cousin had won his fight, but since he lost to a
Captured Orc...!
H. Does -- He had a hidden weapon! -- H. Is
Ed. -- Steely underwear? Now THAT is an unpleasant thought. What do you do when
it's hot out? -- Sushee Su
I don't know. Perhaps you don't wear cats when it's hot, so you don't need the
steely underwear. -- Ed.
Ronald McDonald -- And you could run a concession stand at the tourneys, too. -- John

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.
