                                      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.  Later days, THAT SMELL, since TOLBIN'S 
GEMS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're all 
terribly impressed to see HEMATITE win a fight and gain 9 points, terribly.  Tsk, 
tsk, HEMATITE beat KO THE AVERAGE and KO THE AVERAGE lost 3 points.  You're breakin' 
my heart.  FIRE OPAL challenged DAL SHANG's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne.  And 
if variety is the spice of life, DAL SHANG may be getting bland, as NAVARONE 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?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  POSSE was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  
Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was LAUGH TRACK LORDS.  Ha ha ha ha!  AN YEE was 
challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or 
feared?  Heh, heh.  NORBEN THE LESSER was challenged by one of LAUGH TRACK LORDS' 
warriors this turn, with JACK TRIPPER having a lead of 24 points going into the 
fight.  And golly gee, JACK TRIPPER bested NORBEN THE LESSER.  Aren't we all 
surprised and impressed?  I guess I can give a little credit to MALACHITE of TOLBIN'S 
GEMS for challenging up by 24 to AN YEE.  MALACHITE won to get 85 points of 
recognition.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess 
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  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
