SPY REPORT
Much has changed in JADE MOUNTAIN since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf
Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Up 'n down. Up 'n
down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well,
APOKOLIPS' 3rd moved them up to 2-1-1 place. What's with ENCANTADORA? She actually
beat SAND DANCERS' MEADOWLARK, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at APOKOLIPS while they watched ENCANTADORA clobber MEADOWLARK. She
lost 12 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. See how the
Duelmaster Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's DAR-KOL BLACKBROWS? That sort of
initiative is how he got where he is now. DAR-KOL BLACKBROWS was reminded on the
sands why MURDEROUS THRUST is Duelmaster. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects
to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being the most challenged warrior, MEADOWLARK! Don't make idle boasts, they may
come back to haunt you.
Warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN unite. You have only your games to lose! Hmm...
More surprises must remain in store for me, if MURDEROUS THRUST can return from the
Dark Arena. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young
rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? 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

Scorpio -- I've been trying to pull together a diplo for the past two weeks in answer
to your question, and the universe has been absolutely uncooperative. I *WILL* get
one out either with this newsletter or with 60 or 42. The universe will not have
everything its own way. -- Jorja
One-four yet again, this time with the win coming over a standby. It's
disheartening. -- Stonefall

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."
