SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out TROCAR to see
what's new. Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, TRADERS OF TROCAR! 'Cause
they got 4-0-1 and moved up to 3rd! MVP award for MOLD? BASH BROS BATHROOM's proud
of him after beating LAKE PATROL and getting 15 points. Talk about yer major upsets!
FALLEN TOWEL RACK's match with DILIAN HALLIE cost him a loss of 13 points! Oh, wow,
like the Duelmaster must be the most popular gal in all TROCAR. She got the most
challenges. (But what about proposals?) NERF GUN thinks its 16-8-0 and studly
character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? This Duelmaster is
like something else! LARKIN SAND stopped NERF GUN dead in its tracks! Who was the
wiseguy that said TROCAR's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Warty Toad? Don't
look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of USELESS TOOLS must
be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that
I don't? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are BASH BROS BATHROOM? USELESS TOOLS, an
easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation!
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All TROCAR ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. Hey! Quit laughing! Just because DISSOLVABLE DIAPER had
37-13-0 was no reason for USELESS TOOLS to send it to the Dark Arena! Stop it! Hey,
warriors get killed by other warriors, not by their manager sending them to the Dark
Arena. What's wrong with DISSOLVABLE DIAPER's 37-13-0, USELESS TOOLS? Hey you guys,
don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone
write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. TROCAR is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Trocar -- We are glad to finally dispose of our Dissolvable Diaper. After a messy
career, we find out it preferred the Battle Axe, which, with his 12(2)-20(3)-8-8(1)-
20(1)-12-11 stats, he lacked the strength to even attempt to use. His only rating
was an Advanced Expert in Parry (1 skill short of Master we think). His preferred
rhythm is Low/Low, and we are surprised is wasn't lower. He prefers to learn defence
skills, and isn't a fan of any particular tactic. He may actually get to fight
again sometime in ADM, unlike a lot of Crip's grads. -- Crip, mgr of Useless Tools (in
more ways than one)
Trocar -- Firewall and Daughter's Boyfriend are both sitting out this turn, as both
are right on FE cutoffs. Neither will probably make the boss's tourney roster, but
we'll give him a chance to look closer while they wait. -- Useless Tools

Name Change-o-Rama -- Final Update
The gladiators looked around at the Commission's administrative office on the
Isle of the Eye. They'd been here before. The standard boxy building, the scurrying
clerks, the... goats browsing on the landscaping. Not as many goats this time as
before, only three. One came over to Zeke (not his arena name) and nuzzled his
pockets. He scratched at the base of its floppy ears, lacking a snack to offer. He
looked at one of the clerks. "I thought you got rid of the goats last year," Zeke
said.
"These are new goats," the clerk said with a sigh. "They're going to be shipped
out next week." He looked hopeful. "They like you, could you stay until then?"
Zeke sighed. Minding three goats sounded more enjoyable than fighting in the
arena. "I'd have to ask my manager."
* * * *
Snatching his parchment away from a very determined goat, who apparently thought
it was a tasty snack, Rodney quickly dipped his pen in ink and began to write. "It is
our pleasure and honor to note that sixty-seven gladiators and teams have elected to
change their names, supporting the contribution of goats to deserving people. With
the Commission's matching funds, this has purchased three goats--a good goat can't be
purchased for a copper, you know. The goats are already en route to their new homes,
where they will be--" He paused and thought about it. "--very welcome. We wish all
the best to the goats and their new owners."
