FILING FEE of BASH BROS LAWYER (Assurnasirbanipal) SPY REPORT It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! MIDDLE WAY 10 had cause to celebrate, after LENDIS OHLM got 13 points by beating VENOMOUS CONCUBINE. THE BIG 'OH' certainly had a baffled expression on its face, after losing to LON OLBERT and losing 8 points in the process! The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as STREET RACER faced VALAMANTIS' Duelmaster. What can be a greater victory? STREET RACER has taken his place as the top, as VALAMANTIS' new Duelmaster. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. So much to report, so little time! If challenges were horses, LON OLBERT could open up a fast food joint! The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in VALAMANTIS would I avoid! Do not think spyreporting in VALAMANTIS is the highlight of my life. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. VALAMANTIS, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Drunkard's Guild.

We didn't get to fight them all, of course. In fact, we only got HALF, which means one real fight for us: Ludwig defeated a Public Nuisance. Between that and the standbys, we went four-one. The loss? Oder could't handle a Convicted Assassin. Wimp. -- Kim Neuw LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS MUNDANE 2 was butchered by STONE GOLEM in a 2 minute Dark Arena fight.

Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 16-18, 2015. It will be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as last year by popular request. Room rates are $149.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center, jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--code RSI. Please make your reservations now if you plan to go. This is prime season for Phoenix, and this year will be crazy: the Superbowl, Phoenix Open, auto auction, PF Chang's Marathon, and more are all during that time. The hotel will be filling up quickly and I won't be able to add rooms to the block after they are full. So please book your room now -- if you can't make it you can cancel your reservation, but we hope you do! Look for the tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
