                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
ROCANIS.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  We 
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  BARDIC FLAPPERY now holds 
the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Hey everybody, watch out for SECRET 
OF FLIGHT, who flew up 14 points in the rankings after mashing MAGE'S APPRENTICE like 
a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was 
VENOMOUS CUR, who dropped 2 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with 
LUMP O COAL.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was 
BARDIC FLAPPERY's FLAP-DRAGON, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by NO SNO 
4 U.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that RESCUE RANGERS was most 
avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of RESCUE RANGERS' 
warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch CHRISTMAS 
CURSES' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from 
RESCUE RANGERS.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Knowing when to use the right 
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the ROCANIS giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  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
