                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of DAL 
SHANG brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see GORBAN TEN SKORA win a fight and gain 9 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
TURK-Y MONSTER beat KALDAN TEN KARAN and KALDAN TEN KARAN lost 2 points.  You're 
breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, DAL SHANG may be getting 
bland, as IRONIC TWIST stays top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, 
but why am I telling you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, DAL SHANG?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  DAL SHANG, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  
THE INQUISITION 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 BASH BROS EVANGELIST.  Ha ha ha ha!  KALDAN TEN KARAN was challenged more times 
this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for DAL SHANG's 
morgue.  More variety.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate 
catches up with you sooner that later?   
     What does the DAL SHANG 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
