SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, SCOMSS SWAMP? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. If this keeps up, THINGS I DROOL IN,
you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 7 in the rankings?
ABYSMAL RITES turned their 2-3-0 turn into a 13th place rank in the listings this
turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Now let's all watch X-MEN
II's heads swell from their 3-1-1 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big
deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SWAMP CALL HAMMER win a fight
and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, BEXAR beat NILES and NILES lost 12 points.
You're breakin' my heart. BARBARINO challenged SCOMSS SWAMP's Duelmaster for a shot
at the throne. And if variety is the spice of life, SCOMSS SWAMP may be getting
bland, as SWAMP BURP HAMMER stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood
today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, SCOMSS
SWAMP?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
X-MEN II, 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 STRETSAMLEUD. Ha ha ha ha! COBRA
was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or
feared? Heh, heh. I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one, but BULLPEN
ACE has challenged up by 27 in an attempt against TEMPUS. Not that I'm surprised or
anything, but BULLPEN ACE was beat by TEMPUS, leaving the latter lower for
recognition points. I notice BONSUR challenging down 21 points to fight RAVEN,
STRETSAMLEUD doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to honor. And golly
gee, BONSUR subdued RAVEN. Aren't we all surprised and impressed? I guess I can
give a little credit to POLARIS of X-MEN II for challenging up by 18 to ROIS ANIN.
POLARIS lost to get 32 points of recognition.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Whoa! I'll even buy NESSMAN a drink tonight! Anyone
who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good side! And sending
EBOLA - (R) to the Dark Arena was supposed to be one of your better ideas, DOK SIK
KILLAS? It's about time PYTHON got beat for picking on warriors like STORM. Bravo,
X-MEN II. See you at The Welcome Wench. We're all going to die in the end, so why
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
What does the SCOMSS SWAMP arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide
Clemens

Oz The All Covetous
Ithyic Thing -- Never mess with a winged monkey; you will laugh to your demise. --
Nikko
It seems only appropriate that Little Raven, DA Monster, would have its first little
kill at the expense of Pickled Pig's feet. It does. -- Oz The All Interested
P.S. It would have added to the pleasure if Dwayne The Dog, appropriately former
Spymaster, had also fought; but instead it went in search of a fire plug.
Barbarino -- You lost to Medee? Ah, well, it wasn't a turf match, was it? Medee's
manager seems to win THOSE matches fairly regularly. -- Oz The All Chastising
Slugbait, Crip, Mannequin, Soultaker, Snuln -- I hope we had a great time and great
results at The Face. -- Oz The all Hopeful
Swamp (Burp) Hammer -- Feliciburpins to you. Burp ye well at the Isle. -- Jack &
Jill
Lurking Fear -- My greatest fear is a line-drive up the middle, but not anything
lurking in the dugout. -- Bullpen Ace

Swamp Bear -- Named in honour of Scomms Swamp no doubt! We are honoured! -- The Lion
King
Darkholm -- I guess the season of giving is past. -- Ten Lords Aleapin
Sister Bernice -- What? A sister that doesn't beat up on the Flush? Are you feeling
a little under the weather? -- African Queen
All -- It's been a while, but I've started itching again. Found some old friends
hiding in the attic and picked up another three straifs and ways hanging around
looking for a stable after the FtF. Look forward to re-acquainting myself with old
friends and foes. -- Spawn, mngr. Spoonertiks

Order of Lost Souls
Where there is a beginning, there is an end. Where there is a whole, there is a
part. Where there is light, there is dark. All these are found to be true and along
with the most important, when something is lost it can always be found.
Many a person has walked this land in one form or another. Some truly believe
that here is there and there is here but who really knows? Among the peoples of this
great land many have felt lost in time and in place. Some have gone as far as to be
lost of soul....
Although most are thought to have been born into this world in a mortal way, no
one can be sure. Life is something they have in a way but a torturous joke to them
in all others. They live in a sense as they are here and now and having mind and
knowledge. They are flesh and blood of one sort of another. They cast a shadow as
all things living do. Blood courses through their veins.
These beings have become wraiths drifting here and there, knowing that they
truly belong nowhere. Searching for that one thing that they seem to be missing or
the one thing in them that puts them beyond others. These people have become masters
of many things as time seems to have no hold. For not even time can find those that
are truly lost. Many of these beings have drifted toward the gladiatorial games. In
the blood and chaos of the arenas something holds them like no other. It's the loss
of something they have never had or something they had so long ago it seems to have
never been. LIFE.
A few of the more shall we say "human" of these beings have settled into many
arenas around the land. The loss of life and the crazed emotions of the arenas
giving them glimpses of things they longed for but seemed incapable of attaining.
A number of these lost ones saw in each other something that might be able to
help the other. They spent many a day traveling to and fro, for what is time to one
who it doesn't touch. The more time they spent together the more they seemed to
change. No one noticed the change in the others but each recognized it in himself.
Years passed and the changes stopped. Each had been changed in different ways but
all felt more whole. A discussion ensued between them. They came to a realization
that in each other they had found parts of themselves that had been missing. Then
came the next thought. If they could find more of like minded lost ones they might
eventually find what they always wanted, their true selves.
The group settled down to think things through. They finally came up with an
idea they all could accept. They would form an organization that through their
arenas through out the land they would seek out other lost ones. If they were of
like mind they would be invited to join the group and seek that special something
they all desired.
This was how it began and how it still is. The Order of Lost Souls was formed
and the search began. The original members numbered six. They were Baphomet,
Blackstorm, Hammer, JGW, Reaper and Wretch. These members of the Order spread their
gladiator stables through out the realm seeking others like them. Through blood and
death they lived through others. One day hoping to live for themselves. For as they
all know what is lost must eventually be found....
