SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! The boys at CHAPEL OF THE GHOULS left the arena dejected, after being
kicked out of the top spot by WETWORKS. Good show! WETWORKS had cause to celebrate,
after NIKE got 20 points by beating 3 WIT. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which,
GRAIL was winsome, after beating HILLARY CLINTON and seeing her lose 4 points. A
certain someone saw NOCTURNAL RITES at The Welcome Wench with the shakes, and now he
fails to show up to defend his throne. What a pathetic slob! What can be a greater
victory? TSUNAMI ALERT has taken its place as the top, as TELORINTHE's new
Duelmaster. Word has it one team in TELORINTHE is taking speech lessons to try to
bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
And how sociable are TELORINTHE's warriors? Come, let us see.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! The audience
gave a nice round of rasberries to 3 WIT of BAD SIGNS, for expiring in such an
ungraceful fashion. 7-8-0, indeed! Questions are being raised about the disposing
of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in TELORINTHE would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in TELORINTHE is the highlight of my life. As if
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.
Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid TELORINTHE farewell--
Novgorodny Vir

From: The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To: All Managers
In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately. Managers may
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission. Each warrior may have
up to 15 favorite sayings. Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch,
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long. For any questions, please contact the
Gladiatorial Commission.
This is just a reminder to all participants in this arena that it is a no-tourney
arena, and is therefore subject to the no-tourney rules. The pledge all participants
took when they entered this arena is as follows:
********************************************************************************
NO-TOURNEY ARENA PLEDGE
* I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a tournament, nor
will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
* I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena. If circumstances
preclude my running less than a full team, I will notify the Player Committee.
* I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
* I understand that any warrior that participates in a tournament or receives
a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.
********************************************************************************
Best of luck in the arena!
Armsilbar liked being Master of the Stronghold Academy, all except for one part.
He had to talk to Sheila Greywand at least once a week, usually oftener. She was
getting more erratic. More chaotic. That would be the effect of the Grey Wand. It
was a powerful chaotic artifact, and she kept it with her always. She had turned his
predecessor into a frog--or 164 frogs--and then summoned all the members of the
Academy to a frog-leg dinner. That had been, ah, bad. Yes, very bad.
But here he was entering her chambers. With, well, it couldn't be called GOOD
news. And the look she turned on him--she was in an orcish mood today, all scowling
black brows and bared fangs--that made him nervous. But some things had to be done.
He cleared his throat, which seemed to have a frog in it, and said, "It's about the
next tourney prize, Lady. I know it's more than two months away, but this isn't too
soon to start thinking of some new, exciting prize--"
"I have no intention of thinking about 'new, exciting prizes'," she snapped. Or
was that a snarl? "These managers are getting above themselves. They act like I
created the arena system for their amusement! There will be one standard prize for
all the tourneys. Just one."
He had a horrible vision of all the managers walking out in a mass. Perhaps it
wouldn't be that bad, but it wouldn't be good. And if he said the wrong thing, well,
the next frog-leg dinner might be him. "Er, ah, perhaps a specific prize for each
tourney--a spring prize, a summer prize, and so on? The managers expect--"
She exploded. A literal explosion, the force of the blast blew his hair off.
She said several things in an obsolete dialect of orcish. He stepped backward, then
again. The blast had blown the door open behind him. If he could make it out before
something else happened--
"Ribbit! Ribbit!"
