                                      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 GROBBENDONK, who flew up 14 points in the rankings after mashing VENAL 
CLERK like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top 
ten was TOM BLIGH, who dropped 12 points after a disappointing (to say the least) 
bout with TITUS PULLO.  Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash 
yer clothes.  SWORDGRAVE did not fight this week so hers title was forfeit.  In front 
of all the crowds, HARBOR SEAL took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give the 
bum two weeks.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that BASHAHOLICS ANON was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing 
the personal hygiene of BASHAHOLICS ANON's warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys 
like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause CLAN DREKMOOR beats feet every 
time BASHAHOLICS ANON smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes 
and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, there's the manager of the ILLIS giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  
Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown 
Spymaster
