SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. OLDIES
now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Coming up with a solid
4-1-0 outing, OLLIS HEROES has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey everybody,
watch out for YODA, who flew up 24 points in the rankings after mashing SANGER like a
melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on
the sands. SANGER was beat by YODA and drops 20 points. In front of all the crowds,
VODI took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that OLLIS HEROES was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of OLLIS HEROES'
warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch OLDIES' act in
the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from OLLIS HEROES. Well
just about everybody wants a piece of MORIS NAHR, who was this week's most challenged
warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. 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

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge?
PERSONAL ADS
Petro Salm -- Thanks for spending time with me. It was a fine tussle. I was just
plain lucky. -- Circle K
Rosana Sabel -- Now that you've cleaned my clock, perhaps I should go back to
cleaning toilets? -- Custodian
Southbound -- I'm glad we were going the same way and took the long, slow ride
together. I had the smoothest ride. I think I will head back north. -- Life Scout
Eric -- It is always such a rush to trump someone. I guess it was just your day to
be the trumpee. (As opposed to trumpet, and I don't suppose you could be a
strumpet?) -- Contract Bridge (trying out for a spot on The Comedy Channel)
Moris Nahr -- You beat me fair and square and took my prize, you meanie! -- Cracker
Jacks
Jorja -- Assur and his bashers would be a welcome sight. I think we should
renickname him BASHUR. -- Coach
All -- I am one of the most important warriors in this arena, because if it weren't
for me, there might not be a back half of the pack. -- Custodian
P.S. Plus-- this is one of the cleanest arenas around Alastari.
Telorinthe is not IN Alastari. -- Arenmaster Salgreid
Black Lightening, have we ever said "welcome" to you? Well, we should have.
Meanwhile, NICE point gain last round. Well done. -- Coach
Telorinthe -- I'd like to send my greetings to you all as I commence a new team in
this arena. I am Sigurd Fafnisbane, and I am the Team Manager and Owner of The
Myrmidons stable. My team and I look forward to meeting you in the far more intimate
confines of the arena proper, and for drinks all round at The Warty Toad (an
interesting name for a tavern). I'll get the first round for those that turn up. --
Sigurd Fafnisbane, manager The Myrmidons.
Life Scout -- And so you should be! -- Rosana Sabel
P.S. Of course, so should I be, also.
Berthold -- I hold you PERSONALLY responsible for keeping me from the title. Just so
you know. -- Moris Nahr
Cracker Jacks -- You were holding back, weren't you? If you'd put a little more into
that fight, I'd have gotten more than the minimum points for it, and taken the title.
Oh, well. -- Moris Nahr
Berthold -- I wish you'd fought my teammate Moris. Maybe he'd have shut up about the
title then, win or lose. -- Sam Tall
Almendras -- I do like almonds, does that count? -- Melanie Obern
Custodian -- This is just not your best line of work. Or mine either. But we keep
going. I guess we get something for persistence. Besides bruises. -- Rosana Sabel
Circle K -- An old favorite. -- Petro Salm
