     Judge and Lethal were in the Lizard Tail Inn talking over their matches as Man
Hunter came in.
     "Did you take a bath?" asked Lethal.
     "Why, is one missing?" asked Man Hunter.  Judge started to laugh.
     "You just look so out of sorts," Lethal said.
     "I had some things to think about."
     Judge almost choked on his white wine.  "You?  Think?  Now that is not what you
do too well."
     Man Hunter stepped up to him.  "Why do you say that??"
     Judge smiled.  "Well, we said it was chilly out the other day, and you went to
get a bowl.  Then, yesterday, I told you to make me a scotch on the rocks and there
were actual rocks in my drink."
     Lethal burst out laughing.
     "Well, we got to get to our studies on our upcoming performances," Man Hunter
said.
     Judge and Lethal got up.
     "I hope this goes well," Man Hunter said as they walked out.
     Suicide watched as Killer sparred with a stablehand.
     "Not so close," Killer said.
     "Don't talk to the scum," Suicide said.  "Let your weapon do the talking."
     Killer and Lethal were trying to figure out what to wear for the meeting at the
cemetary.
     "You know this door is a little loose," Lethal said.
     "Judge has a screwdriver," Killer said, heading out.
     Judge was in his room, going over some case files, when he heard the
knock and told them to come in.
     "I need a screwdriver," Killer said.
     "I'm out of vodka."
     Killer shook her head.  "The door to my room is loose."
     "Oh, um, drawer on the left," Judge said, pointing.
     Killer walked to the desk and opened the drawer and started to look around.
"All you got in here is gin, scotch and tonic."
     Judge turned to her, "Top drawer."
     She slammed the drawer and opened the top one.  "Got it."  She started for the
door.  "You shouldn't get caught drinking too much with your record."
     Judge shot her a glance.  "Backtalking a judge, that's two years hard labor."
     Killer shook her head and walked out.
     'Being stuck-up, that should be some lashes,' thought Judge.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly SCOMSS SWAMP games.  Former top team X-MEN II was 
unseated this week as SECOND BANANAS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 3-2-2 record for the round.  Fortune did not smile upon WARHAMMERS this time 
out who this turn suffered a fall into 13th position in the wake of a 1-4-0 round.  
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!  Witness how this week 
THE SERPENTS went 4-1-0 to move up 5 in the rankings.  NILES caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SWAMP CALL HAMMER and was 
awarded 30 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, MOMBA put 
down KILLER, causing her to lose 11 points of recognition in the process.  This time 
out JACK & JILL made his bid for the throne as he challenged HANTA in an all out 
contest of skill for possession of the title!  Not for nothing has HANTA in the past 
laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet 
again.  Would you believe that over half of the old women in SCOMSS SWAMP seem to 
feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in SCOMSS SWAMP these days is THE BEAR'S PAW.  At least, most blades in 
town are looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of SPOONERTIKS are catching 
the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that 
many fighters are after BARBARINO.  Watch your back!  At the gambling halls I have 
started to bet money on GLUTTAN.  He has got the courage it takes.  Witness his 
challenge this turn against BEAST!  I must admit to some joy.  Before my very eyes 
the underdog in this contest, GLUTTAN, defeated BEAST to claim victory and 
recognition.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  NESSMAN has sworn to take up religion upon living 
to tell of his recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors.  A rare thing indeed!  
Perhaps even the strong cannot escape the vagaries of this world.  This week arena 
veteran SWAMP CALL HAMMER was slain, despite a 12-8-1 record.  Walk proud, warriors 
of RAPTOR!  By striking down FEAR you have avenged the honor of your dead.  Your 
virtue is known to all in SCOMSS SWAMP.  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and 
assassins.  In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in SCOMSS SWAMP.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  More than a sharp eye must 
I keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of 
Alastari await me!  Till we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in 
a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Scream Factory -- Sorry that Savage lost.  Death was supposed to join his stable mate
Die! in the Dark Arena.  This next turn I am sure he will make it there. -- Wretch

Second Bananas!  Top Team On The Move!  Salute. -- Oz The All Impressed

Fourth Nork -- Oh, I am.  I am!  Please be very careful with delicate little me.
Please. -- China Milkmaid

Spawn -- Always so nice to see your personals.  You and Crip have such a way with the
King's English. -- Oz The All Literate

Man Hunter -- Thanks for the challenge.  I wasn't so easy, was I? -- Winkie

Heraclius -- Hey, thanks.  Those skills were neat!  So was everything else. -- China
Milkmaid

Hanta -- Again!  A salute to the Duelmaster.  I am sure we will all enjoy your DM
Column. -- Oz The All Covetous

Hanta -- Well done.  I suspect you'll try again, so I shall try to adapt this time.
-- Bullpen Ace

Smokey Bear -- So where have you been getting your challenging lessons from?  Bullies
on the kindergarten playground at recess perhaps??? -- Ten Lords A Leapin

Killer -- Yet again, I've fallen and I can't get up. -- The Lion King

Suculant -- Good thing you got an invite to ADM, we wouldn't want to have to outlast
you like that again. -- Jack & Jill

All -- Sadly, for the second time in three turns, an apparently over eager spam
filter has caused my warrior to be benched on the sidelines.  Sounds like a painful
allergy.  Just hope the remedy is now in place or this "comeback" will be very short
lived. -- Spawn

Jack & Jill -- Well, you have proven you can scum with the best of them one last
time.  See you later, or maybe not, as I am going for the Isle. -- Suculant

Lurking Fear -- I think not!!  Nice fight, but no fear lurking anywhere.  I should
have fought better.  I blame my manager. -- The Ron
P.S.  As he should. -- Coyote

Storm -- Not like our last fight, and the team made me pick up the bar tab!!  See you
later. -- Rois Anin

Suculant is a TP with 13(+2)-15-12-13-15-6(+1)-13.  Advanced Expert Riposte and
parry, Expert in defense.  Small shield with a low OE and mod AL.  Also he's my only
TP currently, as scumming wins but is not my cup of tea.  Thanks. -- Coyote

Python -- You were good.  Next time I hope for a different outcome. -- Deadly

Winkie -- Did you...  You couldn't...  How did...  Just my luck. -- Man Hunter

The Lion King -- Welcome to my jungle. -- Killer

Sanity Loss -- You have been judged. -- Judge

Raven -- I ain't got nothing to say. -- Lethal
