SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ILLIS this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
HANGOVERS is pushed out of top team by ISLANDERS, who came from 2nd with a 3-2-0 this
turn. BALL has lost to TIKI, falling 10 points, while helping make BEATRICE a 1-1-0
turn. Due to its absence and inability to defend the throne, LONG ISLAND has lost
the title of Duelmaster. We should ask BEATIE about the thrill of victory, and what
being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask. Can someone
confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at
The Warty Toad until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. SHEWISH MUNCHIES has cause to stand tall, as they were ILLIS'
most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who
avoided SHEWISH MUNCHIES stable the most? Believe it or not, it was BEATRICE.
Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was ISLANDERS' warrior
FISHHOOK. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! In a brave
attempt, BEATIE from BEATRICE challenged up 21 points to fight FISHHOOK from the
ISLANDERS stable. BEATIE perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she overcame
FISHHOOK and ended up with 64 recognition points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Is it really true that ILLIS has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ILLIS again, farewell--

Five dead in the arena last time. It doesn't guarantee that the city will perish,
but it can't be a good omen. We hear that the water is rising in the lake, does this
mean the city will perish by drowning?
No, wait! There were SIX deaths! The stewards must have tried to sweep one under
the rug, but the Gods Know! The city WILL perish, or, um, be in serious trouble,
anyway.
We salute the participants in the mail-in tourney, with a special nod for Beatie,
tourney victor. -- Jorja and the Islanders
One-four, not our best performance. Small Arena Syndrome as much as anything. In a
larger arena, Beatie wouldn't have had to tv-down-challenge Pearl, for instance.
Hula Mia wouldn't have been confused by the Fearless and *very long* Inventory. Tiki
wouldn't have agreed to go drinking with the Irish Flag. And so on. The Harbor Seal
wouldn't have had to swim in such polluted waters--Always an Addict, indeed; the
water here will CAUSE it. And, ahem, *I* got to defeat an Elder God! Kinda cool. --
