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!. Say good-bye to RAISING R'LYEH, as they are
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the SEA DOGS stable. Unlike most arenas,
COLOROUTOFSPACE managed to get his challenge off against the 0-0-0 ARENAMASTER RAHJ.
The crowds were amazed this turn, as ARENAMASTER RAHJ killed the Duelmaster,
COLOROUTOFSPACE, leaving RAISING R'LYEH in mourning. This incredible death has
allowed, I might add, GARANH from DARK HORSEMEN to ascend to the throne of
Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy. Advice to bashers--never force
anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that DARK HORSEMEN was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of DARK HORSEMEN's
warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch RAISING R'LYEH's
act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from DARK
HORSEMEN. Well just about everybody wants a piece of GARANH, who was this week's
most challenged warrior. UP FROM THE SEA of RAISING R'LYEH had better have a good
reason for challenging down 12 points in a challenge which she lost. I thought UP
FROM THE SEA showed great skill and promise when she was overcame by GARANH. All
right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Yesterday I talked to the DARK
HORSEMEN's manager and COLOROUTOFSPACE, slayer of TIALVAI GRAYWIND. The manager: 'I
think I can, I think I can'. COLOROUTOFSPACE: 'I already did'. Remember:
alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what
happens.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in TRICORUS have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Coloroutofspace -- Well, I *survived* that fight, which is more than some of my
teammates can say, so I guess it was a good one. And I see that you *are*
graduating, too, so you only have one more chance to kill a Dark Horseman, I suppose
me or Garanh. It would be okay for you to refrain from killing either of us. --
Vargoi
Up from the Sea -- So it seems that Vargoi and I get to trade off who we fight. How
thrilling. How embarrassing. I will admit that I wish Jorja would give a little
more thought to management. Who knows what benefits a strategy change might bring?
-- Garanh
P.S. Remember, if you kill one of us, that's one less skilled teacher of skills.
Cargo -- If I start a Cargo Cult, will you teach me more skills? -- Hasarch
P.S. Actually, that sounds intriguing. Maybe I should get some advice from the Cult
Member on starting cults. There could be a little profit and prophet both in it.
Drunken Sailor -- Ah, did they catch you when your wits were fuddled and force you to
sign on to gladiate without a real explanation? Managers are so sly, I can easily
imagine that. And that you choose to remain drunk during the fights because the
experience is so unpleasant. I've certainly been tempted that way myself, and I
don't even like beer! -- Barochdal the Sober
The Persistent Beggar is easy, him having only one leg and all. I admit he got in a
nasty crack or two with his crutch, but I've been hurt worse by a horse kicking. If
this is the worst I'm to face, it won't be too bad. -- Karranvai
P.S. Of course, there *will* be worse, won't there?
Coloroutofspace -- Our heartfelt congratulations. Go go go! -- Jorja and the Dark
Horsemen
