                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
COLLUSION COVE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  With any luck, I can sneak 
into The Victory Tavern and join GENX PERFECT HITS' celebration over their good 
record this turn.  9th place, not bad.  If The Victory Tavern is buying drinks for 
CRAZY CREEPS' good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry before long.  A 2-1-0 makes 
for a big thirst.  Oh, this is too good to be true!  VILLAINOUS LEGION has fallen to 
28th place after going 1-1-0 this turn.  Who's bragging now?  Gee, I'm impressed, a 
3-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, 4000 BLOWS, the Fates teach humility, and the 
Fates are proud.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SCORN BREAD win a 
fight and gain 26 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, I OWN INDIMAR beat NULN'S PET SOCK and 
NULN'S PET SOCK lost 19 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and 
inability to defend the throne, DUNNO has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start 
setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as THE 
AVENGING SCROD takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, 
heh.  The Victory Tavern, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do 
they get this stuff?  From COLLUSION COVE's trash dumps?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  PURE EVIL, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were 
this turn's most avoided team.  Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And it 
looks like PASTAFARIANS avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be 
losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  LASSIE was challenged more times this turn than the 
Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  Now look at this.  THE 
BUNISHER challenged down 22 against PURE EVIL's TAXMAN.  What a weasel!  Question now 
is, will COLLUSION COVE accept this sort of tacky behavior?  THE BUNISHER beating 
TAXMAN.  The insult, the....yech!   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for COLLUSION 
COVE's morgue.  More variety.  I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone 
else.  Anyway, this turn it came.  FRANZ's 8-9-1 has earned him the Dark Arena.  And 
now a passing thought on a warrior dying young (CARROT TOP of PURE EVIL):  You had 
your chance and now you're dead.  Oh well...  Nipped in the bud, you might say, was 
WHACK-A-STUD of THE UPSTARTS III this turn.  Course, I wouldn't say that, so much as 
have a belly laugh.  Heh heh.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave 
team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Just wait 'till next time I show up 
here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must 
leave now-- Snide Clemens

Chihuahua) can't chase a twig.  There just isn't enough to grip.  I could barely have
laid a tooth on you if I'd been trying, and being a Good Dog, I wasn't really trying
to bite.  That may have been my mistake. -- Lassie

                                 Order of Lost Souls

     Where there is a beginning, there is an end.  Where there is a whole, there is a
part.  Where there is light, there is dark.  All these are found to be true and along
with the most important, when something is lost it can always be found.
     Many a person has walked this land in one form or another.  Some truly believe
that here is there and there is here but who really knows?  Among the peoples of this
great land many have felt lost in time and in place.  Some have gone as far as to be
lost of soul....
     Although most are thought to have been born into this world in a mortal way, no
one can be sure.  Life is something they have in a way but a torturous joke to them
in all others.  They live in a sense as they are here and now and having mind and
knowledge.  They are flesh and blood of one sort of another.  They cast a shadow as
all things living do.  Blood courses through their veins.
     These beings have become wraiths drifting here and there, knowing that they
truly belong nowhere.  Searching for that one thing that they seem to be missing or
the one thing in them that puts them beyond others.  These people have become masters
of many things as time seems to have no hold.  For not even time can find those that
are truly lost.  Many of these beings have drifted toward the gladiatorial games.  In
the blood and chaos of the arenas something holds them like no other.  It's the loss
of something they have never had or something they had so long ago it seems to have
never been.  LIFE.
     A few of the more shall we say "human" of these beings have settled into many
arenas around the land.  The loss of life and the crazed emotions of the arenas
giving them glimpses of things they longed for but seemed incapable of attaining.
     A number of these lost ones saw in each other something that might be able to
help the other.  They spent many a day traveling to and fro, for what is time to one
who it doesn't touch.  The more time they spent together the more they seemed to
change.  No one noticed the change in the others but each recognized it in himself.
Years passed and the changes stopped.  Each had been changed in different ways but
all felt more whole.  A discussion ensued between them.  They came to a realization
that in each other they had found parts of themselves that had been missing.  Then
came the next thought.  If they could find more of like minded lost ones they might
eventually find what they always wanted, their true selves.
     The group settled down to think things through.  They finally came up with an
idea they all could accept.  They would form an organization that through their
arenas through out the land they would seek out other lost ones.  If they were of
like mind they would be invited to join the group and seek that special something
they all desired.
     This was how it began and how it still is.  The Order of Lost Souls was formed
and the search began.  The original members numbered six.  They were Baphomet,
Blackstorm, Hammer, JGW, Reaper and Wretch.  These members of the Order spread their
gladiator stables through out the realm seeking others like them.  Through blood and
death they lived through others.  One day hoping to live for themselves.  For as they
all know what is lost must eventually be found....
