                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome MURSKA.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Bein' on top is great while 
it lasts, SUPREME DEATH.  But how many friends do you have now?  What's with RYDEL?  
He actually beat HOUSE JHEREG's ORI OF SMALLCLIFF, and walked away with 16 more 
points from the fight.  Laughs were big at WRATHMEN PROXY 3 while they watched RYDEL 
clobber ORI OF SMALLCLIFF.  He lost 10 points and got bruised from objects thrown 
from the stands.  Try as he might, MINOR wasn't good enough at persuading CALVOR OF 
DREM to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  I suppose you want to hear some 
rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  The most avoided team 
was WOJOWNIKOW.  In my day, no team with a 10-11-0 would scare me off!  What's the 
problem, HOUSE JHEREG?   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover 
stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  Are 
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm writing it 
before you read it.  Oh, well.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, 
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
