                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, TROCAR?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see BIG CHILL win a fight and gain 11 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, BIG CHILL beat 
WINTROW and WINTROW lost 7 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the 
spice of life, TROCAR may be getting bland, as OUT OF TP stays top dog in the city.  
Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys 
win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  What's the big D?  KILLER B'S was the most avoided 
team?  Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in 
this mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was LEGIONS OF FATE.  
Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, RUSSIAN LULLABY was this turn's most 
challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  Now here's guts and 
stupidity all rolled into one, DUNCAN challenged up 27 to take on CHINA WHITE of BOOK 
OF THOMAS.  Well, ok, the upstart knave (where've I heard that before?) won this 
match and gained 28 points to boot!  Ha ha ha, CHINA WHITE.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess 
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of TROCAR.  I feel much better now.  I see the crowds are 
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
