                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
FRATSFA.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say 
good-bye to INCARNATIONS, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
IRON CATHEDRAL stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for TEMPLE ENFORCER, who flew up 18 
points in the rankings after mashing TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE like a melon.  Keep your eye 
on this gal.  The most challenged warrior this week was SOUTHPOINT.  If this keeps 
up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids!  ARMSMAN got through to the 
Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt he was more than anxious to kick SOUTHPOINT's tail 
out of the throne!  Well, everybody's pal SOUTHPOINT moved hers record to 16-3-0 by 
defeating ARMSMAN in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 13 recognition points.  
4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that 
location.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad INCARNATIONS?  Big bad INCARNATIONS.  Big bad INCARNATIONS.  FRATSFA's 
afraid of the big bad INCARNATIONS.  Tra la la la la!  And you guys like to boo me?  
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause IRON CATHEDRAL beats feet every time 
INCARNATIONS smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes 
and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in FRATSFA have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown 
Spymaster
