                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  Say good-bye 
to PERRY COUNTY, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the SAND 
DANCERS stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for JENSON, who flew up 15 points in the 
rankings after mashing CAPTURED ORC like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  What 
does the Duelmaster and Piltdown Man have in common?  They are both the most 
challenged apes in human history!  Heyheyhey!  Drawing on all of his experience as a 
11-7-2 warrior, LEOPOLD went for the Duelmastership against STUNNING INLAY this week. 
Well, everybody's pal STUNNING INLAY moved his record to 30-12-0 by defeating LEOPOLD 
in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 8 recognition points.  An apple a day 
keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the LIN TIRIAN arena.  Here's 
a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad SAND DANCERS?   Big bad SAND DANCERS.  
Big bad SAND DANCERS.  LIN TIRIAN's afraid of the big bad SAND DANCERS.  Tra la la la 
la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  SAND DANCERS + Weapons That go 
Boom = PERRY COUNTY + Avoid City.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, LEOPOLD was 
mashed by STUNNING INLAY, who let LEOPOLD know that killing members of HOWLIN CASE is 
a no-no.  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena 
with you and see what happens.   
     Well, there's the manager of the LIN TIRIAN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  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

These are late, so I'll probably make 'em skimpy. -- Jorja, still struggling to catch 
up

Stunning Inlay -- If it helps get you out of here, I'm for it. -- Bobwhite
P.S.  Thanks for the skills.

It says here that the Kung Fu Master was incapable of further fighting. That implies 
that he was capable before.  I could argue that. -- March Hare

Tobinsport -- It was amazing how you soaked up those skills.  I didn't know I had that 
much to teach. -- Medio Cur

St. Croix -- At least I got five skills out of that looong fight.  Let us not do it 
again. -- Ephraim

Troy -- Wash your hand before you offer it to me.  You messed up mine so badly, I 
might get an Igor to do the surgery and replace it with yours. -- Jenson

If these get to the Commission in time, they will NOT be late. -- Jorja

Leopold -- I sympathize with the pain of receiving all those skills.  If you hadn't 
thrown that desk at me, I might have been more gentle. -- Bobwhite

Tobinsport -- Thought of a blow you didn't hit me with last time, huh? If I avoided 
you, there'd be nobody else to fight. -- Medio Cur
P.S.  Not that I want you to think that fighting is the center of my life, but it is 
central to my current paycheck.

St. Croix -- Take that, you neuter elf! -- Ephraim

Magnet -- Did you magnetize my blade? -- Jenson, feeling suspicious
P.S.  You're welcome for the skills.

How in the heck did THAT happen, Mr. Howlin Wolf? (Leopold/Dented) I am so sorry. Mea 
Culpa. -- Smitty

Ephraim, dadgum you! -- Troy

Veteran Merc, take that, Fellow! I want to do it again! -- Tobinsport

Perry County, land of little money, but massively friendly redneck folk. -- Smitty
