SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, TRICORUS? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, ALL-UGLY TEAM, since DARK
HORSEMEN took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're
all terribly impressed to see GRAPE win a fight and gain 8 points, terribly. Going
for broke or broken, our Duelmaster TURAGH challenged this turn. And it's out with
the old, in with the new, as TURAGH takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the
old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Silver Chalice, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From TRICORUS' trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only
shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
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. 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

PERSONAL ADS
Sam Cassell -- Gosh, you're SOOO ugly, I just couldn't face you. Horrors. -- Harzogh
Grape -- I didn't dare to hit you, because Delange told me getting grape juice stains
out of leather is, ah, it boils down to "extremely difficult," I think. And I didn't
want to get her stirred up with an extremely difficult cleaning job. So what else
could I do but lose, eh? -- Zalgei
Pit Fighter -- I salute you. Now it's YOUR turn to write a column, and I hope you
have something to say. -- Delange
Fists of Fury -- I didn't know that dwarves did the "ronin" thing. Amazing. --
Turagh
P.S. But I just don't see fists, furious or not, as a proper dwarvish weapon.

I am in the process of moving house, and spotlight writing for the next two months
will be very hit-and-miss. -- the Scribe
