SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for HAVOCBRINGER, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing
HAILEY ICEWIND like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. HAILEY ICEWIND lost to HAVOCBRINGER and drops
11 points. What does the Duelmaster and Piltdown Man have in common? They are both
the most challenged apes in human history! Heyheyhey! CUNEIFORM got through to the
Duelmaster this turn. No doubt she was more than anxious to kick JENNA KUUL's tail
out of the throne! Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles
was MESOPOTAMIA's CUNEIFORM, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by JENNA
KUUL. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the SNOWBOUND arena. Did you
hear that MIDDLE WAY 6 was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal
hygiene of MIDDLE WAY 6's warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who like
math, try this one: MIDDLE WAY 6 + Weapons That go Boom = MESOPOTAMIA + Avoid City.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! And who needs the Dark Arena if
you've got CRUSHING BELIAL around? This week he decorated his armor with SANDREENA.
Who's next? In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, SANDREENA was mashed by
CRUSHING BELIAL, who let SANDREENA know that killing members of MESOPOTAMIA is a
no-no. Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly
buggers, eh?
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

PERSONAL ADS
Mesopotamia -- My condolences for the death of your warrior in the infirmary. That
was not my intention. -- Sandreena
"Making even dangerous moves look harmless"? I don't think I like that. -- Hailey
Icewind
Five dead, not a good sign.
Two-three-one, with Oliver, that wimp, losing to the Userous Merchant, and our new
arrival, Hailey, killing an Embezzling Scribe. We hadn't realized she'd feel so
strongly about him. Not that he isn't a thorough-going creep, but still. -- Jenna
Kuul
Oh, and we salute the tourney participants. -- Jorja and those who walk the Middle
Way
I'm a DWARF? I thought I was just SHORT. -- Hailey Icewind
P.S. So long as I don't have to wear a beard....
Bonescraper -- Two minutes for delay of game. -- Blind Ref
