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!. Hey everybody, watch out for DILLIS RHIN, who
flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing ELMINSTER like a melon. Keep your
eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.
ELMINSTER was subdued by DILLIS RHIN and drops 25 points. Our battling duelmaster
APPLESEED has managed to hold the title, fending off SYLVESTER's none too subtle
advances. Better luck next time, ISLANDERS. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect
the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid BLOODGUARD, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does ILLIS really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well,
unsling your rasberries, cause IMPROVED ILLUSION beats feet every time BLOODGUARD
smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this KING MIDAS you ask, with 71 points
and a 14-9-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Congrats to HAPPY DRUNKARD for revenging the death of his
teammate (but more importantly, feeding KING MIDAS a bit of dirt). Ask not the elves
for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ILLIS have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos),
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
King Midas -- Your golden touch appears to be a little bloodied; expect some attempts
to revenge Tabbek's death. -- Bloodguard
Dillis Rhin -- I'm always happy, so you can probably take some consolation from that
and imagine everyone else is sad too. Coming to the inn for a few pre-fight
tankards? I always finds it helps. :) -- Happy Drunkard
Sylvester -- Indeed, it can cut both ways. -- Bann
Coco Nuttal -- Sigurd used to play this wonderful game back in high school (early
90s) called Moria, and I was named for a scroll... no one knows what kind of scroll,
but I believe Sigurd is under the impression it was a scroll of confusion, given my
performance. -- Urmung Cosbu
Darque -- Congrats on getting 6 awards last turn! -- Assur
I enter Illis and must face excellence, while my teammates face stand ins. Something
is not fair. -- Fearless Inventory
Life.
We congratulate G W Bush. -- Jorja and the Islanders
Assur -- Glad to see you back here. There are some bashers who could use your
attention, if they're smart enough to realize it. -- Jorja
Appleseed -- That seems excessive. I thought we agreed to keep our private quarrel
off the sands. But I suppose you couldn't stand knowing that you were losing HIM to
ME. Hard feelings from me, though Jorja will probably not have any. She's too soft.
-- Ghost of Belitris
P.S. That is, of course, the last time I'll teach you four skills!
Elminster -- If you're an illusion, that means you aren't real, right? And if you
aren't real, you couldn't have won that fight. So you didn't. -- Coco Nuttal,
practicing denial
John Wayne -- I knew another guy like you once. He, too, insisted on parrying with
his face. A strange tactic. -- Sylvester
And two standbys defeated. Works for us. -- Dillis Rhin and Chagua Korbin
Ravinkor -- Your personals for Noblish Island (dm 93) went astray and ended up
in Erinika (dm 73). They'll be in the Noblish newsletter next time. -- the
Editor
