                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt XOCHITHLAN will ever be the same.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, 
for there are sorrows to drown for PUBLIC RELATIONS, whose 1-4-1 this turn dropped 
them by 4 into 6th.  DUCKS UNLIMITED stable has parlayed this turn's 4-0-0 into a 4 
space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  And 
let's see, MORNING PERSON fought FREEMIUM and gained 14 points and contributed to 
JUST ADD COFFEE's 2-3-0.  CHALAMET has lost to SILKIE, falling 11 points, while 
helping make FAR TRAVELERS a 0-2-0 turn.  We should ask INSTANT HUMAN about the 
thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the 
one to ask.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their 
losing fighters do dishes at The Warty Toad until they win.  Maybe?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  DARQUE ANGELS has cause to stand 
tall, as they were XOCHITHLAN's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a 
team to beat.  And guess who avoided DARQUE ANGELS stable the most?  Believe it or 
not, it was TROLLHEIM.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
THE MIDDLE WAY's warrior APPLE CORE.  More fighters challenged him than challenged 
the Duelmaster!   
     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.  Is it really true that XOCHITHLAN 
has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in XOCHITHLAN and I've a long road ahead 
of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in XOCHITHLAN again, farewell-- Alarond 
the Scribe
