SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for SLIM JIM, who flew up 23 points in the rankings after mashing AGAIN AND
AGAIN like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top
ten was AGAIN AND AGAIN, who dropped 20 points after a disappointing (to say the
least) bout with SLIM JIM. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody
knuckles was BASHAHOLICS ANON's ALWAYS AN ADDICT, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by BAST. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger
halberd!
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 BASHAHOLICS ANON, please raise you
hand. Wow. Does ILLIS really have that many liars? For those of you who like math,
try this one: BASHAHOLICS ANON + Weapons That go Boom = YOUNG GUNS + Avoid City.
Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, BABY RUTH would be president.
Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to win. In a touching display by a
'touched' warrior, ARGIEL went after WYATT EARP, who was higher by 20 points. Well,
when the dust settled, ARGIEL defeated WYATT EARP.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Knowing when to use the right tactics at
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been real, and its been fun,
but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PAYMENTS BY CHECK AND MONEY ORDER -- CHANGE
Please note that because of new bank regulations, we can no longer accept any check or
money order drawn off a non-US bank, even if it is in US Funds. We were just informed
by our bank that the fee to process these checks is $40, which is crazy high!
Many apologies to our foreign players, but you will need to either get a check from a
US bank (Chase, Citigroup, etc.) or pay via credit card.
Armsilbar liked being Master of the Stronghold Academy, all except for one part.
He had to talk to Sheila Greywand at least once a week, usually oftener. She was
getting more erratic. More chaotic. That would be the effect of the Grey Wand. It
was a powerful chaotic artifact, and she kept it with her always. She had turned his
predecessor into a frog--or 164 frogs--and then summoned all the members of the
Academy to a frog-leg dinner. That had been, ah, bad. Yes, very bad.
But here he was entering her chambers. With, well, it couldn't be called GOOD
news. And the look she turned on him--she was in an orcish mood today, all scowling
black brows and bared fangs--that made him nervous. But some things had to be done.
He cleared his throat, which seemed to have a frog in it, and said, "It's about the
next tourney prize, Lady. I know it's more than two months away, but this isn't too
soon to start thinking of some new, exciting prize--"
"I have no intention of thinking about 'new, exciting prizes'," she snapped. Or
was that a snarl? "These managers are getting above themselves. They act like I
created the arena system for their amusement! There will be one standard prize for
all the tourneys. Just one."
He had a horrible vision of all the managers walking out in a mass. Perhaps it
wouldn't be that bad, but it wouldn't be good. And if he said the wrong thing, well,
the next frog-leg dinner might be him. "Er, ah, perhaps a specific prize for each
tourney--a spring prize, a summer prize, and so on? The managers expect--"
She exploded. A literal explosion, the force of the blast blew his hair off.
She said several things in an obsolete dialect of orcish. He stepped backward, then
again. The blast had blown the door open behind him. If he could make it out before
something else happened--
"Ribbit! Ribbit!"
