                                      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.  THE 
BLUES now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Coming up with a 
solid 3-1-1 outing, THE RED HAND has advanced 5 places in the rankings.  Advancing in 
the rankings was BULLDOGS who went from last turn's 2294-1316-93, to this week's 
record of 2297-1317-93.  Hey everybody, watch out for LEOF TORFINN, who flew up 18 
points in the rankings after mashing HEART OF GOLD like a melon.  Keep your eye on 
this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  HEART OF GOLD 
was bested by LEOF TORFINN and drops 15 points.  Well, if ya don't shows up at the 
laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  STRAW SEAL did not fight this week so his 
title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the COLORIFIC stable, as their warrior, BLUE 
BONNET, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the 
body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad THE BLUES?  Big bad THE BLUES.  Big bad THE BLUES.  ARUAK CITY's afraid of 
the big bad THE BLUES.  Tra la la la la!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch 
BULLDOGS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from 
THE BLUES.  And who is this DUKE ROBILLARD you ask, with 96 points and a 17-17-0 
record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  BLOODKNIFE defied all odds and slew HIGH ELF in the Dark 
Arena.  The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as HIGH ELF's meat is notoriously 
tough.  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very important 
step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  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
