                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for TONIO SALAGAZA, who flew up 27 points in the rankings after mashing 
BA'AL like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to 
walk out on the sands.  BA'AL was defeated by TONIO SALAGAZA and drops 24 points.  
Unlike most arenas, BLEYS managed to get his challenge off against the 12-6-0 XEENA.  
Well, everybody's pal BLEYS moved his record to 12-7-0 by defeating XEENA 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.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid THE CHOSEN ONES, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does FRATSFA really have that 
many liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause AMBER 
beats feet every time THE CHOSEN ONES smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well dang 
howdy, but if challenges were votes, OSIRIS would be president.  Although it may be a 
contest she doesn't want to win.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Here's some advice:  warriors with little 
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The 
Unknown Spymaster
