                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail TRANSEL!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as TOP HITS is pushed out of 
top team by BLACK AND BLUES, who came from 3rd with a 2-2-0 this turn.  METALLIC 
WOLVES stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings.  
This brings them up to 6th place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, ARCONITUM fought 
EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 15 points and contributed to CHAOS KIDS' 3-1-0.  KOKO 
TAYLOR has lost to PSYCHO KILLER, falling 11 points, while helping make BLACK AND 
BLUES a 2-2-0 turn.  Somebody's not going to like this, (then again, somebody will), 
but our Duelmaster, PAINT IT BLACK, has died, and THURIZU 2 has killed him.  By the 
way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The 
Sultan's Tent?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  In a brave attempt, CRUSHED APPLE 
from ANGRY EDEN challenged up 25 points to fight DON'T from the CLEVER CLEVER MGRR 
stable.  CRUSHED APPLE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was bested by 
DON'T and ended up with 28 recognition points.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  A brave warrior does not carry a 
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, TRANSEL, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in TRANSEL, but never good to wear out 
my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in TRANSEL again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
