                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  Hey everybody, watch out for ANAXIMANDER, who 
flew up 24 points in the rankings after mashing BLACK BARTOK like a melon.  Keep your 
eye on this guy.  Try as hard as the FAR TRAVELERS stable might, they were unable to 
find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) SIGRUN before this week's fights.  In front of 
all the crowds, DAGGER LAMENT took the Duelmaster's crown for its own.  I give the 
bum two weeks.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the RIZTAB arena.  Well dang 
howdy, but if challenges were votes, SADE would be president.  Although it may be a 
contest he doesn't want to win.  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, DAGGER 
LAMENT went after SADE, who was higher by 18 points.  Well, when the dust settled, 
DAGGER LAMENT defeated SADE.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  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 RIZTAB have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Hasta la 
bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
