SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN! Once again I've been called out of
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Biff! Pow! JADE
MOUNTAIN watched with glee as DARK TOADS got knocked off top spot by THAT'S US!
Hmmmph! I always thought PARANOID ASYLUM was an over-rated team and they proved it
with a 0-0-0! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I
think I'm gonna be... Well, SUNDAY COMICS' 3rd moved them up to 3-2-0 place. It
seems so recently people were saying THAT'S US was washed up, finished. But 4-0-0
moved them up 2. I guess they're washed no more... What's with SALTY CROC ? He
actually beat SUNDAY COMICS' WOODSTOCK, and walked away with 27 more points from the
fight. Laughs were big at SAND DANCERS while they watched TABATAN clobber GYHARD.
He lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Har har har!
Did RED MOSQUITO wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway, he's not Duelmaster anymore. I
can barely restrain my enthusiam for SUNDAY COMICS' outstanding member, Duelmaster
LINUS. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team
is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. JADE
MOUNTAIN thinks FIFTH QUARTER and their 90-84-6 is too much! If at first you don't
succeed, give up... In my day, no team with a 88-82-6 would scare me off! What's
the problem, IN COLD BLOOD? What do people see in WONDERFUL? His 5-1-1? THAT'S US
ain't talkin', but he's got 99 points. Maybe IN COLD BLOOD's BUSHMASTER is one of
those beasts who likes pain, or something. That's what it'll get next week, after
challenging up 34 to ESSINA TYL VERN. Who knows what was running through
BUSHMASTER's head, but ESSINA TYL VERN rearranged it for it. How soon will
BUSHMASTER make a challenge like that again? WONDERFUL didn't quite know what to
make of a challenge he received from FRILLED DRAGON of IN COLD BLOOD, who is 24
points below him. FRILLED DRAGON perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as it lost to
WONDERFUL and ended up with 71 recognition points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Some people in JADE MOUNTAIN think IN COLD BLOOD
was too harsh when they sent GECKO (2-0-0) to the Dark Arena. Them's the breaks, I
say. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions,
take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Remember--a
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Essina Tyl Vern -- Congratulations! I have to say, 64 FE should be enough for anyone
to graduate...well, almost anyone. Enjoy the Isle! -- TigToad
Volto Leeni -- I notice that you are a bit less sophisticated than some of your
teammates. Why do you think that is? -- Anne
Woody -- You're absolutely right. If it is written down, it must be true. I write
this down, you will live to graduate and Toads everywhere will celebrate. At least
try to believe it. -- TigToad
Red Mosquito -- Ah well, it was worth a try. Now, I get to avoid you instead of
challenging. -- Arden
P'Jerin -- Huh, if *I* had five quarters instead of the standard four, I bet *I*
could do that good, too! -- Woody
Gyhard -- I got a cramp in my leg, okay? That could happen to anybody, and you can't
expect me to fight with a cramp in my leg! -- Volto Leeni

Death Fest Begins July 29/DM 59 T-172
"You drive a hard bargain Hammer," responded Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul, "but the
Gladiatorial Commission has agreed to re-open DM 58 Delarq Tor as a Slow Arena
exclusively for a period of six months to those Death Fest contestants who fight
their stables at least 67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death
Fest; on the condition that at least 20 stables qualify for the Illis Iron Stable
Award at the conclusion of the Death Fest and those qualifying managers send a New
Stable to DM 58 Delarq Tor without Cannibalizing their participation in the other
arenas where they have active stables!"
Hammer felt a certain sense of satisfaction as he studied the ghoulish grin
spreading across the face of Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul; proud Arena Master of the once
dying Illis Arena, as the DM 59 Arena Authority signed the Gladiatorial Commission
papers authenticating the arrangement agreed upon by the two parties presiding.
"You and the Gladiatorial Commission also drive a hard bargain," Hammer replied
as he reflected upon the prospects of Delarq Tor DM 58 being re-opened as a Slow
Arena with at least 20 New Stables by the Managers who fight their stables at least
67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death Fest. "I also notice the
clause that for Delarq Tor to be open Exclusively for 6 months to the New Stables
managed by the Illis Iron Stable Award Winners that there must be at least 15 stables
Active each cycle. That is a fair bargain for the opportunity to battle for the
Duelmaster Throne each of those six months before Other New Stables are allowed to
enter Delarq Tor."
This was a Golden Opportunity for both Veteran and Newbie Managers to pave a new
frontier of Delarq history by qualifying their Death Fest stables in DM 59 with 67
fights out of a possible 75; then for the price of running a stable in a Regular
Arena, continuing to be Active in DM 59 and sending a New Team Roll Up to be a part
of "History in the Making" when Delarq Tor would re-open for its First Turn as a Slow
Arena on November 3rd, 2005.
Death Fest would conclude on T-186 August 25th, 2005 allowing the Illis Iron
Stable Award Winners enough time to be registered with the Gladiatorial Commission;
whereupon they would be able to submit a New Team Roll Up to the GC to start a New
Stable in Delarq Tor; be able to fight those New Gladiators in the Rookies 2005 Fall
Mailer Tourney; then begin competing for the DM 58 Duelmasters Throne in Delarq Tor
right out of the gate with the November 3rd 2005 T-1 Debut Opening Round.
Hammer of the First Part had also negotiated with Lord Na-Zul of the Second Part
an agreement that All 10 Dark Arena Monsters and 17 NPCs Characters be re-named by
the Top Ten Death Fest Finishers. [See DM 59 T-171 Newsletter Team Spotlight by
Hammer for the complete listing of Dark Arena Monsters/NPCs and the Official Death
Fest Designation for which Top Ten Finishers re-name which characters!]
Lord Na-Sul could not hide his delight at the prospects of Death being re-
delivered to his once dying arena during the Delarq Death Fest; the DM 59 Arena
Master agreed that these Death Fest Prizes were but a Small Exchange in Comparison to
the Profits to be made by the local Illis business merchants and surrounding
community from the Anticipated Influx into Illis by the Veteran and Newbie
Managers/Gladiators/Stables seeking to make History in the Delarq Death Fest.
Nor could Hammer conceal his jubilation regarding the Call Across Alistari being
Answered to Cross Blades and Match Wits with the Devious, the Diabolical, the
Dangerous and the Down Challenging who were being drawn to the Delarq Death Fest to
Fulfill their Delarq Dueling Destiny!
