                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to ARADI once again!  Up 'n down.  Up 'n down.  Rankings always 
change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  Well, RED DOG GANG's 8th moved them up 
to 0-2-0 place.  What's with MAGMA?  He actually beat ARADI's TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE, and 
walked away with 19 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at NEON ROYALTY 
while they watched ROYAL ASSASSIN clobber RAIN MISTRESS.  She lost 11 points and got 
bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  Har har har!  Did SHEEPY THOMPSON wimp 
out, or just get lazy?  Anyway, it's not Duelmaster anymore.  I can barely restrain 
my enthusiam for NEON ROYALTY's outstanding member, Duelmaster QUEEN TIFFIN.  I 
suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  
Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  ARADI 
thinks THIS HIGH WORTH and their 16-9-2 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, 
give up...  Management must be dealin', as the boys at TEMERE NOMEN ain't reelin'!  
THIS HIGH WORTH's mad!   
     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.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
