SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. We now have a new top team for all of you guys
to dogpile on. APOKOLIPS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.
Hey everybody, watch out for HOUND ARCHON, who flew up 17 points in the rankings
after mashing CHI HO like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a
basher in the top ten was CHI HO, who dropped 14 points after a disappointing (to say
the least) bout with HOUND ARCHON. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but
bloody knuckles was SAND DANCERS' STONE HAMMER, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by MURDEROUS THRUST. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an
onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the JADE MOUNTAIN arena.
Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, CHI HO would be president. Although
it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in JADE MOUNTAIN have
no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Even two weeks late, I want to express my heartfelt thanks and congratulations to
Untamed Beserker. Way to go! -- Stone Hammer
Three-two-one, good thing there wasn't a place for some last numeral in that
sequence! -- Stone Hammer
Apkolips -- Due to one thing and another, I can't get the map to you today. But I've
looked at the master here, and I make the location of Jade Mountain to be about one
thousand miles west southwest of more or less anywhere in Alastari. Across the
Trier, across more than half the width of the Empire of Lirith Kai, tucked into a
valley in the Jade Panther Hills. The greatest probability is that the Hills got
their name from their apparent shape when seen on the horizon (they're of the same
worn type of mountain range as the Appalachians) and the fact that they are generally
forested, thus green. The town of Jade Mountain was at one time the capital of a
kingdom in this area, long since absorbed by the Empire. These Hills are also a
source of raw jade.
As to the presence of the arena here, it was originally sited in between Tyrna Lyrl
and Lerna Tyrl, the Twin Cities which are the current capital of the Jade Hills
Province. However, the Lyrnatans are provinicial, conservative, and suspicious of
all strangers, not just foreigners from Alastari but Adantri from other parts of the
Empire. They didn't like having the arena there. The gladiators and managers didn't
like being there. The then-lord of Jade Mountain (now deceased) invited the arena to
move to HIS town, hoping to use them to increase his leverage in certain political
plots (now thwarted). With the onset of peace in the area, the arena population
declined, and it is now as you see it. -- the Editor
Three-two for us this time, and Jorja says we have to get this out right away.
Something about "pressing demands." I've seen her "pressing demands." Fingers and
toes. -- Stone Hammer
