A good turn for the Parts, with a new Duelmastership, and a new graduate.   For those 
that care about such things, Broken Heart is off to retirement in Home Guard, 9-13(1)-
8-15-21-10-9 Lunger, Master in Init (Mode), AdeX Attack (Mode) and Defense (-2), and 
Expert in Decise (mode or +1).   The commission favourites are Shortsword, 
High/Moderate Rhythm, Learns Defense skills, and no favourite tactic.   61 total 
skills learned, only 1 of which was of the parry variety, which is a rare occurrence 
for Crip's Lungers.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome FRATSFA.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with BANDED ACOLYTE? 
He actually beat ASSASSIN NATION's MALEVOLENCE, and walked away with 16 more points 
from the fight.  Laughs were big at IRON CATHEDRAL while they watched FORGED BISHOP 
clobber TONIO SALAGAZA.  He lost 5 points and got bruised from objects thrown from 
the stands.  Try as he might, SHACKLED PRIEST wasn't good enough at persuading CLUB 
FOOT to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  I suppose you want to hear some 
rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  
FRATSFA thinks IRON CATHEDRAL and their 241-216-22 is too much!  If at first you 
don't succeed, give up...  Management must be dealin', as the boys at OTTO'S PARTS 
ain't reelin'!  IRON CATHEDRAL's mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, DELTA CYGNI!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt 
you.  Maybe OTTO'S PARTS' DISLOCATED HIP is one of those beasts who likes pain, or 
something.  That's what it'll get next week, after challenging up 34 to DELTA CYGNI.  
As I expected, DELTA CYGNI won DISLOCATED HIP.  Not to start anything, but, 
DISLOCATED HIP, now that you've faced him and seen its style, you might try it again! 
     Warriors of FRATSFA unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Who will dare 
fight BROKEN HEART, after it returned from the Dark Arena?  (For the record 15-13-3 
is 97, and has it points) I like to see warriors put young whippersnappers in their 
place.  I guess you could say IRON CATHEDRAL'BANDED ACOLYTE did just that.  Right 
ASSASSIN NATION?  Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  
To die so young, so gloriously!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  All work 
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Tempest -- That's quite a storm there. -- Tennessee Smith

Kappa Cygni -- You're a star, sure enough, but today I was an overcast sky. -- Tonio 
Salagaza

Do the Andorians deliberately raise jaywalkers to be Ruthless?  It seems perverse. -- 
Xavier Yang

Sister Steel -- Does no good to "reconsider this gladiator stuff."  We signed 
contracts, and I've heard the Grey Witch makes sure we don't break 'em. -- Vern Wulf

Rancor -- I found some stuff rancoring in the bottom of the refrigerator and put it 
straight into the trash. -- Ferny Ross

Tempest -- Glad you enjoyed it. -- Vern Wulf

Malevolence -- No problem.  It's a job when there aren't many around. -- Friendly 
Constable

Mayhem -- Retirement is good, but be careful.  Jorja thought she was retired, but it 
didn't work out. -- the Middle Way

We congratulate Broken Heart.  Get well soon. -- the Middle Way
