                             Notes from the arena champ.

I knew you wouldn't speak, Shackled Priest, so I had to win.  Even though I still have 
no "words of wisdom" to pass along.  Wisdom isn't in my job description.

                                          -- Vern Wulf

                                      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!.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys 
to dogpile on.  MIDDLE WAY 8 now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep 
it.  Hey everybody, watch out for PINK EYE, who flew up 14 points in the rankings 
after mashing VIZIER VENOM like a melon.  Keep your eye on this beast.  Ya know, some 
days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  VIZIER VENOM was beat by PINK EYE and 
drops 8 points.  Well, everybody's pal VERN WULF moved his record to 19-14-0 by 
defeating SHACKLED PRIEST in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 10 recognition 
points.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. 
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the FRATSFA arena.  And hey, 
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid INCARNATIONS, please raise you hand.  Wow.  
Does FRATSFA really have that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch 
OTTO'S PARTS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running 
from INCARNATIONS.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of TONIO SALAGAZA, who 
was this week's most challenged warrior.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  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 FRATSFA 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
