SPY REPORT
Welcome ERINIKA. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Phhbltt! Too much drinking
and too little dodging gave BASH BROS SCUM a 0-0-0! I got a good laugh out of it!
What's with AANAHR? He actually beat ERINIKA's PERSISTANT BEGGAR, and walked away
with 41 more points from the fight. Major screwup at DARQUE WATERS. SCURVY SERPENT
lost 5 points to NECRO-MAN CY. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe SCURVY SERPENT
will provide more easy wins... See how the Duelmaster challenged DARQUE WATERS'
NEPTUNE SCREAM? That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now. Try as he
might, NEPTUNE SCREAM wasn't good enough at persuading ENDU ENDU to step down from
the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... ERINIKA thinks DARQUE
WATERS and their 40-25-6 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up...
Management must be dealin', as the boys at GREAT OLD ONES ain't reelin'! DARQUE
WATERS' mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior,
RAEMOND PURR! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. THE POISON
ANGER of DARQUE WATERS knows how to pick 'em. He challenged STINK of DUDS who is up
by 22. Now was this a wise move? THE POISON ANGER perhaps got his just desserts,
seeing as he was beat by STINK and ended up with 43 recognition points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Some people in ERINIKA think DUDS was too harsh when they sent
DINGLEBERRY (3-0-0) to the Dark Arena. Them's the breaks, I say. So DUDS sent GROSS
to the Dark Arena. Big deal. Plenty more fighters where GROSS came from. Dime a
dozen... Now, Spyreporters... WORLDWIDE GORE's boys should be laying low. Now that
WORLDWIDE GORE's manager has gone and let NEPTUNE SCREAM kill ENGLISH LEATHER
unchallenged, WORLDWIDE GORE's fighters are fair game. Is it my imagination, or are
fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end
of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want to
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

JASPER GULCH: DM 85
Zeb Karan around the big table. Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and
stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and
infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like
this, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
"So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they
closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?"
"Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary.
There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're
too full of team records."
"Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested.
Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the
arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave.
"We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested.
"We can't burn RECORDS."
"I could," Rinvar said.
"But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its
own sake, Jame."
Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew."
"When are they shutting down Blackstone?"
"To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers
want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel
from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this
week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can
recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of
enquiry around the room.
"Jasper Gulch," a steward said.
"Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably
'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be
transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT."
Voth nodded. "We can work with this."
"Beats not working."
