                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in DAYLA 
KIV.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Hey 
everybody, watch out for OFFICER OBTUSE, who flew up 24 points in the rankings after 
mashing GOSHAWK like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it 
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  GOSHAWK lost to OFFICER OBTUSE and drops 13 
points.  Try as hard as the A.W. OF GUMBALL stable might, they were unable to find 
their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) RICHARD before this week's fights.  It's a proud 
day for the BECAUSE...WF stable, as their warrior, EXOGENOUS SHOCK, ascended the 
Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger 
halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that SAND DANCERS was most 
avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of SAND DANCERS' 
warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch FEROCIOUS 
ANIMALS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from 
SAND DANCERS.  And who is this WARTHOG you ask, with 30 points and a 3-1-0 record.  
Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time 
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the DAYLA KIV giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown 
Spymaster

Hey, way to go Ferocious ones. you are bringing me more credit than I deserve. -- Lion 
Tamer

Alden Denny, I beat you? I am amazed! Are you a snake in disguise, because I am very 
good against snakes. -- Mongoose

Loris Ten Jole, you surely showed me what I had assumed, that you are way out of my 
class. Kudos. -- Warthog

Animals of the world unite! Both Democrats and Republicans are welcome. -- Lion Tamer 
(Fiercely Independent) 

Shrew and Warthog -- No, mostly farmers. -- Jorja
P.S.  I could go into a longer characterization, involving appearance, origin, and 
probable motivation, but I'll pass on that for now.

Anais -- I am terribly confused, not being used to fighting bearded ladies. -- Taran 
ten Salth
P.S.  Actually I should be listed as Zarlan, but Jorja says no one would understand, 
so why bother?

Darwin -- You'd better hope you don't become a representative of your awards. -- Jack 
Farmer

Warthog -- You are no shrew.  They're small and fast and always hungry. I don't know 
about your hunger. -- Loris ten Jole

Mongoose -- Just take note, please, that I'm no snake. -- Alden Denny, wholly not 
serpentine

Rosie -- How embarrassing to me.  YOU did well. -- Halo Green

Halo Green -- What's a Palani?  Someone who loses and teaches really well?  Ha ha ha, 
just kidding.  Seriously, what is a Palani? -- Rosie
