DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
At least Mastiff was a real opponent, and I had the feeling that he was making a
real effort. He dodged the first blow! Of course, when I hit him with the second,
he lost composure and all that stuff, so it wasn't a MAJOR real effort. But still.

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. Say good-bye
to DEATH MOB, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the THE BEARS
stable. Hey everybody, watch out for CLAWS, who flew up 15 points in the rankings
after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And
falling like a basher in the top ten was ISOMBARD KORL, who dropped 12 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with FYRE SWORD. In front of all the crowds,
ANGRY DECKHAND took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. 4
out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that
location.
Here is other news that is of note. Well just about everybody wants a piece of
CHATTI, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel,
for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, there's the manager of the VALAMANTIS 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

PERSONAL ADS
Invur Kreb -- I know I can't take a lot of damage, but that's ridiculous. -- Mastiff
Darci Ferrin -- Good fight, but a little chintzy on the learns weren't you? -- Ben
Chatti -- Talk talk talk! Can't you ever be silent, woman? -- Evander Gill
Fyre Sword -- Hard to keep that working when the snow is coming down, isn't it? --
Gormoduc Irn
Salty Dog -- Salt, pepper, cinnamon, anise, no big deal. I can handle it. And I
know how to talk to dogs to get their obedience. -- Isombard Korl
Ben -- Drat. I wanted to do a really good curse, but I barely had time to get
started! Well, at least I can curse you with mange and mineralized roofing. -- Ghost
of Darci Ferrin
P.S. Ah, sorry, they tell me that should be "shingles." Whatever, may you itch.
Our congratulations to those who submitted themselves to the tourney. -- Jorja and
the Middle Way
