                                      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 JANKY, who flew up 41 points in the rankings after mashing 
EVIL MASCHA like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Our battling duelmaster BUGSY 
SIEGEL has managed to hold the title, fending off LORIS TEN JOLE's none too subtle 
advances.  Better luck next time, SAND DANCERS.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed 
protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that MOB BOSSES was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of MOB BOSSES' warriors, I'm not surprised!  For those of you who 
like math, try this one:  MOB BOSSES + Weapons That go Boom = FEROCIOUS ANIMALS + 
Avoid City.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of ALDEN DENNY, who was this 
week's most challenged warrior.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Knowing when to use the right 
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DAYLA KIV have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat 
it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
