                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
TROCAR.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say 
good-bye to USELESS TOOLS, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
PLANET 9 stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for FALLEN TOWEL RACK, who flew up 17 
points in the rankings after mashing VENOMOUS CONCUBINE like a melon.  Keep your eye 
on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was FIREWALL, who dropped 8 
points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with SMALL TAMER.  Well here's a 
duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  DISSOLVABLE DIAPER made a 
challenge against LARKIN SAND this week.  Going for the gusto and coming up with 
aught but bloody knuckles was TRADERS OF TROCAR's LARKIN SAND, who was turned away 
from the Duelmastership by DISSOLVABLE DIAPER.  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 BOOK OF THOMAS, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does TROCAR really have that many 
liars?  For those of you who like math, try this one:  BOOK OF THOMAS + Weapons That 
go Boom = USELESS TOOLS + Avoid City.  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, 
ELM would be president.  Although it may be a contest he 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.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in TROCAR have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it 
hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Darrin Horrocks -- You improved your win-loss record at my expense? How dare you! Oh 
wait, that's what we're supposed to do. Never mind, my bad. -- Klyn

Happy Hunting -- I got in my licks so I guess it's on me that I didn't win. Maybe next 
time, but give me a few fights for the chance to improve first. -- Zolor

Dissolvable Diaper -- Improving your endurance is good.  Even critical. -- Larkin Sand

Daughter's Boyfriend -- No lie.  And I hate the way you suck up skills without 
teaching. -- Korill Sai
P.S.  You won't get NEAR my daughter.

Imai -- Delta Crucis.  Always good to get things straight.  Skills would be good.  Too 
bad that isn't something you can specify, either teaching or learning. -- Small Tamer

Bay -- How can a tree be a golem?  One of those artificial jobs? Plastic or tin foil?  
Tough luck on you. -- Dilian Hallie

Klyn -- Good try.  Now you have a symmetrical record.  Not a disaster at this point.
