                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Hey everybody, watch out for HO CHANG, who flew up 3 points in the 
rankings after mashing SHIVERING BONZE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  
Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was SAND DANCERS' 
HOUND OF THE HILLS, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by EDDIE GORDO.  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.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may 
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     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.  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it 
hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

All -- Every dog has it's day. -- Eddie G.

For the Cincy FtF, Mannequin/Crip are organizing a visit to the Great American Ball 
Park on the Friday night (16 Jul, 7:10 start time) to watch the Reds/Brewers game.  If 
interested, please contact Crip through gwerner - @ - twcny dot rr dot com.  Because 
of Covid, tickets are being sold in specific pods, so if 8 people want to go, we may 
have to sit in two different groups.  Please respond by 1 May if interested so we can 
pre-purchase the tickets. -- Crip & Mannequin

Eddie Gordo -- Thanks for the skills and for sparing me the need to write "a few words 
from the top." -- Hound of the Hills
P.S.  Graduate already.

The Oven Bird -- Shave the beard, or singe the pinfeathers, or something. -- Lotus 
Blossom

Out Out -- We don't get any NEW people to fight.  Even the standbys bring variety. -- 
Hunter

Sai-Ki is a fool, but we all knew that.  Still, I salute his determination to support 
himself by acting as a target dummy. -- Black Friday

Whew, good thing I won.  It would've been embarrassing to lose to a standby who uses 
his weapon in a "marginally effective fashion." -- Ho Chang
