SPY REPORT
Hail ROCANIS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as REDHORSE is pushed out of
top team by PUNCH-OUT!, who came from 2nd with a 2-0-0 this turn. And let's see,
PIEFACE fought CIRITH UNGOL and gained 13 points and contributed to BAD APPLES'
1-3-0. CIRITH UNGOL has lost to PIEFACE, falling 13 points, while helping make
BLACKENED PRIDE a 0-1-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed,
and KID QUICK remains ROCANIS' top warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a
rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Grub
& Rub Bar and Bistro until they win. Maybe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the PUNCH-OUT!
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ROCANIS, what are you afraid of?
And avoiding PUNCH-OUT! more than any other team we find TOOLS OF TORMENT. ROCANIS,
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior
this turn was BAD APPLES' warrior BITTER VETCH. More fighters challenged him than
challenged the Duelmaster! MACHINE of TOOLS OF TORMENT had better have a good reason
for challenging down 13 points in a challenge which he won. I thought MACHINE showed
great skill and promise when he bested BITTER VETCH. All right, so I slept through
it! Big deal!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ROCANIS and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in ROCANIS again, farewell--

PERSONAL ADS
Kid Quick -- Hard to know where you were aiming, since you hit me everywhere from the
neck to the groin in less than a minute. However, it was pretty effective. -- Shanks
Pony
P.S. Oh, and congratulations on the title. Don't forget to write a Duelmaster's
column.
The Priest of Mytori wasn't willing to teach me anything. Sore loser. Nasty old
man. -- Pronghorn
Privet -- A ram in a thicket? Is that a sexual reference? -- Pronghorn, dirty young
man
Only in Aradi. -- Ed.
Large Dog -- It just goes to show, you should not be a Bad Apple. -- Eats Grass
P.S. (laughing) That's right, you should NOT eat grass. Leave it to my horse.
Bald Bull -- (groaning) They didn't get me healed right away, shipment of healing
potions arrived late they said. I was puking blood for five days, and couldn't eat.
In a non-magic world those gut hits would have meant a slow death, they told me.
That's a sobering thought. -- Yul
Machine -- I am so glad you're graduating, you can't imagine it. Go, go, go! --
Bitter Vetch
Eats Grass -- I never thought to see a vegetarian Rirorni. -- Large Dog
Mr. Sandman -- I just couldn't stay awake for that. -- Privet, not sorry to have
missed the gory details
King Hippo -- How could I possibly win when I was worried all the time that you might
sit on me? -- Pieface
