SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ILLIS? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. And if variety is the spice of life,
ILLIS may be getting bland, as 12 STONES stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and
bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their
fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
What's the big D? BASHAHOLICS ANON was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily
livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like CHAPEL ROCK avoided them
the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. AGAIN AND
AGAIN was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to GENESIS of
CHAPEL ROCK for challenging up by 22 to IN SECRET. GENESIS won to get 50 points of
recognition.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
What does the ILLIS arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of ILLIS. I feel much better now. Paste this one in
your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
