SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
VALAMANTIS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see WILLIAM JAMES win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
CAPTURED ORC beat IMROM LLEWS and IMROM LLEWS lost 11 points. You're breakin' my
heart. And if variety is the spice of life, VALAMANTIS may be getting bland, as
WHITE WIZARD stays top dog in the city. Doom's Dome, humph! I've tasted better ale
at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From VALAMANTIS' trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
VALAMANTIS, I am losing what little hope I had in you. DISASTERS the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act
of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was HILLTOP GURUS. Ha ha ha ha!
TRAINING BUDDHA was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the
DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the VALAMANTIS arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Kern Morit -- Oh, dang! The last thing I wanted to do was kill a warrior I could
defeat! I still need a lot more training, and it is much easier to do when you're
not getting your head whacked! Bummer for you, think wise thoughts and try another
career. -- Training Buddha
Jimemma Loca -- Okay, I admit I have a few more FE than shows, but still, you have
quite the lead on me. I was surprised by that result. And disappointed in my
learns. I suspect we shall meet again. -- White Wizard
Gilbern Juss -- Didn't that go very differently, just last turn?? You definitely are
a quick study with the Guru-ness. -- Witchy Woman
I've never had the knack for kung-fu. -- Gilfmet Ivers
White Wizard -- Huh, I *knew* there was something wrong! I was *supposed* to be
getting a "white tornado" to clean the kitchen, but it was you, and you weren't
interested in the kitchen, were you? Huh. -- JimEmma Loca
The Ambitious Guard never learns. -- Imrom Llews
Witchy Woman -- Ah, but all woman, I'll say that for you. -- Gilbern Juss, leering
politely
Training Buddha -- If you're going to tell me this is a case of "learning through
reincarnation," I don't want any! -- Ghost of Kern Morit
P.S. What if I come back as a worm?

it and that we will see you there!
