                             Notes from the arena champ.

Jorja said I had to write this.  I was going to just say "good fight," or something 
but I guess not today.  But it WAS a good fight.

                                          -- Han Ki

                                      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!.  Say good-bye to JADED WARRIORS, as they are 
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the SAND DANCERS stable.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for HAI TAI, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing TOMTOM 
like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten 
was TOMTOM, who dropped 13 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with 
HAI TAI.  In front of all the crowds, COLD STEEL took the Duelmaster's crown for his 
own.  I give the bum two weeks.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to 
deliver this stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the JADE MOUNTAIN arena.  Did 
you hear that EASTERN HORDE 2 was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of EASTERN HORDE 2's warriors, I'm not surprised!  For those of you 
who like math, try this one:  EASTERN HORDE 2 + Weapons That go Boom = JADED WARRIORS 
+ Avoid City.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of ZAZZER, who was this week's 
most challenged warrior.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Knowing when to use the right tactics at 
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.  Its been 
fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got you worked up for Snide 
Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

Jorja, Jorga.  Has thou not felt the cool, expensive, exciting sensation of a jade-
covered anatomy?  Sooo empowering.  Thou must try it, Lass. -- Cleopatra
P.S. Why, of course thou canst utilize any Jaded Warrior or its lovely manager for thy 
adventures.  Have at it.  What thy sayeth, goes.
P.P.S. But perhaps thou shall not use Chewbacca, as the loudmouth cretin slayed him. 
Poor, fuzzy Chewbacca.

Hai Tai, whoa!  I rode my horse into that trap.  You are far too experienced for my 
young self.  But soon ...... -- Attila The Hun

Crowbar, now that your tricks are known, beware the ire of the Jaded Ones. -- Genghis 
Khan

Abba Gold, how sad ..... (Har, har.) -- Sun Tzu (Going off soon to write a book.)

Attila The Hun, Genghis Khan, and the now dead dunce Chewbacca, you have all let This 
Lady down.  Pah! -- Cleopatra

"Mayhaps we shall put some pepper in her jade?" -- Heard mumbled, perhaps by Genghis 
Khan

Agnor -- Great!  You can be my hero and go on an adventure, yes? -- Hotdog, who'd 
rather stay home and hang around the bonfire

Attila the Hun -- You just need practice. -- Hai Tai

And one-one against other standbys. -- Lady Chao and Rumbler

Cleopatra -- Thanks for the personals, even if we can't figure out quite how to answer 
them. -- Sand Dancers
