                                      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!.  A stormcloud is brewing over the BIZZARE INK 
guildhouse.  Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 0-0-0 may send the team to the 
Dark Arena.  Coming up with a solid 3-0-0 outing, TRIBAL COUNCIL has advanced 4 
places in the rankings.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was SORTING HAT, 
who dropped 12 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with CAHOKIA.  
Unlike most arenas, PILLAR OF CREATION managed to get his challenge off against the 
23-18-0 SUM YUM GAI.  Well, everybody's pal PILLAR OF CREATION moved his record to 
11-5-0 by defeating SUM YUM GAI in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 16 
recognition points.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps 
T.P.s at bay.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid UTOPIA RELIGIOSO, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does JHELUM really have that 
many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch CLASSIC BLUES' act in the arena.  
Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from UTOPIA RELIGIOSO.  Well just 
about everybody wants a piece of SUM YUM GAI, who was this week's most challenged 
warrior.  Challenging down 17 points was LONGBOTTOM.  Pretty soon he'll be using two 
shields and selling 'T.P.:  The only way to clean up' pins.  Definition of petty:  
LONGBOTTOM bested CARRO LEGGERO, a mismatch of 17 points.  In a touching display by a 
'touched' warrior, LUCILLE BOGAN went after LEAD BALLOON, who was higher by 22 
points.  Well, when the dust settled, LUCILLE BOGAN won victory over LEAD BALLOON.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  POTTERY WORLD has one more week to get 
their bloodfeud off.  I talked to the manager, but he could only grunt 'LUMOS who?'.  
Ya gotta luv em!  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 real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real 
fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
