                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Hey everybody, watch out for LIVID LOUSE, who flew up 9 points in the 
rankings after mashing PERSISTENT BEGGAR like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  
Our battling duelmaster CALVOR OF DREM has managed to hold the title, fending off 
MINOR's none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, CHILDREN OF LLYR.  Can you 
believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad WOJOWNIKOW?  Big bad WOJOWNIKOW. 
Big bad WOJOWNIKOW.  MURSKA's afraid of the big bad WOJOWNIKOW.  Tra la la la la!  
Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch HOUSE JHEREG's act in the arena.  Those 
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from WOJOWNIKOW.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  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.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud 
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
