SPY REPORT
Hail STORMCROWE! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as OF WOLF & GIANT is
pushed out of top team by DARQUE FORCES, who came from 2nd with a 2-3-0 this turn.
And let's see, HORRACH fought SHIELDGORE and gained 18 points and contributed to DEAD
SILENCE's 1-4-0. PRIMAL CUT has lost to PEANUT SALESMAN, falling 7 points, while
helping make HOWLIN SLAUGHTER a 2-2-0 turn. Defending hers title for another turn,
BRAWLIPOP kept STORMCROWE's warrior, VETERAN MERCENARY, from claiming the throne. By
the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at
The Shadow's Fountain?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. DEAD SILENCE has cause to stand
tall, as they were STORMCROWE's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a
team to beat. And guess who avoided DEAD SILENCE stable the most? Believe it or
not, it was AVID FANS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was
2228 BOURBON ST's warrior TOMMY BAHAMA. More fighters challenged him than challenged
the Duelmaster!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? You gotta do what you gotta do. DEAD SILENCE has sent ECKARD to the
Dark Arena. The deed is done. Lift the ale, and toast the memory. We'd like to
remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are;
and it's considered rude.
I like this place, STORMCROWE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in STORMCROWE and
I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in STORMCROWE
again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
