SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Coming up with a solid 4-1-1 outing, DARQUE
FORCES II has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for
FAUSTICA, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like
a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out
on the sands. GERRICK GRIMM lost to MAILEA and drops 8 points. Going for the gusto
and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was DRUID'S GROVE's ROXANNE DE'MORRE,
who was turned away from the Duelmastership by YAIWE. An apple a day keeps the
doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid OPEN SESAME, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does SNOWBOUND really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but
catch DARQUE FORCES II's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at
running from OPEN SESAME. Well just about everybody wants a piece of AZAER, who was
this week's most challenged warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the SNOWBOUND giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown

Cannon Ball -- Oh, well, I suppose as long as you don't use gunpowder to get moving,
I can't claim anachronism, can I? Heck. -- Cass Dolan
Auaria -- You elves just blow me away. That grace, it's...well, it's inhuman, you
know? -- Irina Jasse, deeply impressed
Evalon Elkhorn -- (whining just a little) How come I made a career error and YOU got
three skills? -- Gobert Hinny
Grimbold -- (wincing) Your manager knew what he was doing when he picked YOUR arena

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
