SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for TYGER FISH HAMMER, who flew up 13 points
in the rankings after mashing HERROL TWO-FINGER like a melon. Keep your eye on this
gal. And falling like a basher in the top ten was SLICED DUCK, who dropped 8 points
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with DERRINGER. Our battling
duelmaster STEELHORSE has managed to hold the title, fending off SWEET ANELLA's none
too subtle advances. Better luck next time, DAL SHANG. Can you believe they are
paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the DAL SHANG arena. And
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid MIGHTY DUCKS, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does DAL SHANG really have that many liars? For those of you who like math,
try this one: MIGHTY DUCKS + Weapons That go Boom = CUBICLE CRUSADERS + Avoid City.
Well just about everybody wants a piece of DERRINGER, who was this week's most
challenged warrior. DILBERT of CUBICLE CRUSADERS had better have a good reason for
challenging down 10 points in a challenge which he won. I thought DILBERT showed
great skill and promise when he subdued MERRO DOSH. All right, so I slept through
it! Big deal!
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?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. And
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Dal Shang Citizens -- An invitation from long ago is now being acted upon as my
Abattoir Hammerz answer the call to your arena sands for the foreseeable future! --
Hammer / Minister of War
Erudite Ed -- Please search your current files and post the identities of those
managers known to ply their bloody trade here in Dal Shang Arena! -- Hammer /
Minister of War
Ed's otherwise occupied at the moment, please ask again next time. -- Temp Ed.
Dal Shang Citizens -- For the next several months select Hammerz stables will be
running throughout Alastari in a quest to fulfill a new goal for certain gladiators!
This includes my Abattoir Hammerz here in Dal Shang! Should certain warriors die and
the replacements be inadequate for my purposes then I shall turn my attention to
other endeavors! -- Hammer / Minister of War
"The battle begins"? For an introductory sentence, that's... lackluster, isn't it?
Maybe a case of somebody "couldn't think of anything else to say." The battle
begins. Actually, that has the virtue of simplicity. It simply states the
situation. No ambituity. I kind of like it. -- Jorja
I see the effect of more than a decade of arena activity in the presence of Korka the
Hairy. As a kid, I can remember watching the early matches, and this is not the same
person. Heck, he glues on extra hair before the fight! -- Joevina Saril
Listen, I've been to Paidan. I know the place and the people there. And if this
incarnation of Sagat has ever seen the Bluefish Bay, well... I'll buy drinks all
around at the Burning Unicorn. Which means that my money is perfectly safe. -- Merro
Dosh
Look, if we have to fight standbys, okay, fine, a win's a win. But couldn't they
have their own names instead of all taking on the set "Standby Identities"? -- Lorin
ten Koro
Piece of cake! -- Killian ten Vir
Gunsmoke -- Wow, a real match! I'm so excited, even though I got the only loss on
the team, it was a REAL loss! Wow. -- Karzin Tyrn
P.S. The stage direction said, "Gush." Since it obviously wasn't directing me to
gush BLOOD or anything, I did the best I could with words. Rather offensive,
frankly, but not as bad as gushing blood would have been.
Normar the Blond -- Did someone tell you I was stupid? Of course I won't meet you in
the alley! -- Killian ten Vir
Sagat of Paidan -- It isn't YOUR job to nag me, and I don't have to listen. -- Karzin
Tyrn
Tenderized Duck -- Feeling testy, were you? -- Normar the Blond, resurrected and
annoyed
Sliced Duck -- all right, all right, no more comments about orange sauce. But it
would be good.... -- Bervan the Tinker
Duck Ka-Bob -- I wish! -- Normar the Blond
Killian ten Vir -- If I hadn't been wearing that eye patch, my depth perception,
which is normally EXCELLENT, would have made it possible for me to parry and strike
to very POINTED effect. -- One-Eyed Yofan
Lorin ten Koro -- You make it hard to dance at the Summer Fair. -- Feltar of Illis
Merro Dosh -- You may disguise the matter with fair words, but to repeatedly strike a
man who has fallen is the act of, ah, someone determined to win at all costs. I
could have DIED, you know. -- Sagat of Paidan
Joevina Saril -- Careful, woman! That false beard is expensive! -- Korka the Hairy
