                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome FRATSFA.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Up 'n down.  Up 'n down.  
Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  Well, MIDDLE WAY 8's 
2nd moved them up to 3-2-0 place.  What's with SYMBAL?  She actually beat MIDDLE WAY 
8's OHIO JONES, and walked away with 12 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big 
at IRON CATHEDRAL while they watched SYMBAL clobber OHIO JONES.  He lost 9 points and 
got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  Apparently FRATSFA isn't filled 
with as many gutless wonders as I thought.  The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges 
this turn!  IRON CATHEDRAL's hatred of INCARNATIONS surfaced again as FATHER 
ADAMANTINE challenged FRATSFA's top dog.  Try as he might, FATHER ADAMANTINE wasn't 
good enough at persuading AMAUNET to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  
Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is 
looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  The most avoided team was 
INCARNATIONS.  Management must be dealin', as the boys at IRON CATHEDRAL ain't 
reelin'!  INCARNATIONS' mad!  Keep challenging up 30 points, CATHEDRAL GUARD, and I 
won't have to write about you much longer.  SOKAR always accepts those kind of 
challenges...  Who knows what was running through CATHEDRAL GUARD's head, but SOKAR 
rearranged it for him.  How soon will CATHEDRAL GUARD make a challenge like that 
again?   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  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?  
FRATSFA is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  
Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- 
Olaf Modeen
