                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, SNOWBOUND?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, 
for there are sorrows to drown for MAIN CHARACTER, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them 
by 5 into 9th.  Ha!  Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, BOOK 
OF THOMAS, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud.  Of course, we're all 
terribly impressed to see VIOLA WING win a fight and gain 35 points, terribly.  Tsk, 
tsk, PREDATOR beat TRILL and TRILL lost 12 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to 
absence, and inability to defend the throne, OFF SEASON has lost the Title of 
Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with 
the new, as VIOLA WING takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old 
Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Victory Tavern, humph!  I've tasted better ale at 
mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From SNOWBOUND's trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
JOSEKI KO was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM 
insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for SNOWBOUND's 
morgue.  More variety.  Ya gotta go sometime, and UNIQUE's time was this time.  Hmmm, 
not a bad fighter, had he lived... (what?  me pity?).  It's about time UNIQUE got 
beat for picking on warriors like VIOLA WING.  Bravo, MIDDLE WAY 6.  See you at The 
Victory Tavern.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches 
up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of SNOWBOUND.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

The incursion of chaos creatures into northern Alastari has been stopped.  However, 
the gate they came through is open, and there are people from Alastari trapped on the 
other side.  They need to be rescued, and the gate needs to be closed.  If you have a 
Lord Protector whom you would like to send on this mission, please send a message to 
the Gladiatorial Commmission (email csr@reality.com or via diplo).  We will need to 
know their physical description, personality, and method of fighting.  We will select 
no more than a dozen volunteers.  Thank you!
