                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
STORMCROWE.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  
DEAD SILENCE is no joke as it posted a 4-1-0 week advancing from 4th place to 4th 
place.  Hey everybody, watch out for SWEET EMOTION, who flew up 24 points in the 
rankings after mashing BRAWLIPOP like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And 
falling like a basher in the top ten was CHELSEA DAGGER, who dropped 17 points after 
a disappointing (to say the least) bout with JUICE BOX.  In front of all the crowds, 
FRANK SINATRA took the Duelmaster's crown for its own.  I give the bum two weeks.  An 
apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the STORMCROWE arena.  And 
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid MISFIT TOYS K, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does STORMCROWE really have that many liars?  For those of you who like math, 
try this one:  MISFIT TOYS K + Weapons That go Boom = DEAD SILENCE + Avoid City.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Knowing when to use the right tactics at 
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.  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

Dennorus -- Or should I say, Den-OR-US, a little known reference to the way roman 
legions used to call out to potential enemies! A signal that the beast was about to 
descend upon the righteous!! A holy threat... What? Oh, sorry, its time for my hair 
appointment!

Rev. Bubba Flavel, the distributor regrets to inform the public that recent supply 
chain issues will make the Rev. Bubba Flavel action figure unavailable for a
brief time.

Starwind -- I want to apologize. That Mime comment was too much. I really should have 
held my tongue. -- Beulah Balbricker

Eckard -- That was an adequate confrontation. Have a normative rotational period. -- 
Offensive Doll

John -- TWINZIES!! It looked like you need to choke up a bit on yours though! Just 
sayin' -- Mrs. Morris

Ben Holladay -- Well met. It doesn't seem like either of us care much for stopping 
attacks. Guess we'll see if that continues. -- Mr. Carter

Goodness gracious, can you believe it? This will be my final prep! Don't worry too 
much though, the boss may allow another round for MM, MC, and OD. Mostly so Bourbon 
Street gets a chance to get their bloodfeud in. Fun round overall! Kind of sad we may 
miss a couple of turns waiting for the next tournament! -- Beulah Balbricker for 
Misfit Toys K
