                                      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 ISAWA TADAKA, who flew up 12 points in 
the rankings after mashing SIRHAN like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, 
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  BOBWHITE was subdued by POPS and 
drops 11 points.  What does the Duelmaster and Piltdown Man have in common?  They are 
both the most challenged apes in human history!  Heyheyhey!  GATCHEL got through to 
the Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt it was more than anxious to kick GUSLAV THORFIN's 
tail out of the throne!  Our battling duelmaster GUSLAV THORFIN has managed to hold 
the title, fending off GATCHEL's none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, 
PERRY COUNTY.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s 
at bay.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that FURY'S EDGE was most 
avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of FURY'S EDGE's 
warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch PERRY COUNTY's 
act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from FURY'S EDGE. 
In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, CANNELTON went after BROKEN LOCK, who 
was higher by 25 points.  Well, when the dust settled, CANNELTON was defeated by 
BROKEN LOCK.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes 
and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in LIN TIRIAN have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  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
