                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to JADE MOUNTAIN once again!  What's with HAI TAI?  He actually 
beat JADE MOUNTAIN's STONEFACE MIKARN, and walked away with 19 more points from the 
fight.  Major screwup at SAND DANCERS.  HAN KI lost 5 points to GLEAMING BLADE.  Some 
new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe HAN KI will provide more easy wins...  Try as he 
might, RUMBLER wasn't good enough at persuading BARRELS to step down from the 
Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.   
     Warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Here's some 
advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

it happen.  Drat. -- Rumbler

I am undertaking a fiction-writing project on the Patreon website, under my own name
of Judith Solberg.  It isn't the kind of story I might put in the newsletter, but I
think some of you might enjoy it.  I don't know how much you can see if you just
cruise by, but they tell me it's up and open. -- Jorja
