SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
TRICORUS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see UP FROM THE SEA win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
GARANH beat COLOROUTOFSPACE and COLOROUTOFSPACE lost 11 points. You're breakin' my
heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, BILGE RAT has lost the
Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old,
in with the new, as FEAR OF THE DARK takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the
old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Blue Dolphin Inn, 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.
What's the big D? DARK HORSEMEN was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered...
grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like RAISING R'LYEH avoided them the most
this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. CARGO was
challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or
feared? Heh, heh.
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
Vargoi -- Miss me? -- Bladerunner
P.S. Overheard at the Blue Dolphin:
BR: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs
trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not
helping.
Vargoi: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I'M NOT HELPING?
BR: I mean you're not helping! Why is that, Vargoi?
Bilge Rat -- Close no? -- Fear of the Dark
P.S. One-Armed Bandit must like that learn rate.... -- Reaper
Tialvai Graywind -- Now I know you missed me. -- ColorOutOfSpace
P.S. Well fought and a bucket of skills for you....
Garanh -- Ahh the Kidney...brings a tear to your eye doesn't it? -- Voices In My Head
P.S. Tell Jorja Reaper says hello...though she may not be talking to me now.
Coloroutofspace -- I'm not a colory, well, not entirely, but I'm surely out of space.
That's why I bought a house. The thought of all those rooms is inspiring. -- Tialvai
Graywind
Bladerunner -- Surely your mother told you never to run with blades? She didn't mean
JUST scissors, you know. -- Vargoi
Voices in My Head -- Hey, who hasn't got 'em? -- Garanh
Hmm, I think maybe the Ambitious Guard has no voices in his head. Or they would have
said things like, "Never call on the gods for help, because they're like bankers and
don't give it to anyone who needs it." -- Saralai
The Cult Member is pathetic, but then, we knew that. -- Kalmbargh
