                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in TRICORUS a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as DARQUE SOULS 22.B1 is pushed out of top team by THE FELLOWSHIP, who 
came from 2nd with a 2-3-0 this turn.  And let's see, EAGER BEAVER fought GAFFER 
GAMGEE and gained 16 points and contributed to WRATHMEN 21-43's 1-0-0.  GAFFER GAMGEE 
has lost to EAGER BEAVER, falling 16 points, while helping make THE FELLOWSHIP a 
2-3-0 turn.  This turn BEAUTIFUL CRAZY Dark Arena Challenged FREEDOM FIGHTER in what 
was TRICORUS' Title bout.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as FREEDOM FIGHTER 
killed the Duelmaster, BEAUTIFUL CRAZY, leaving YUPPIE WIVES CLUB in mourning.  This 
incredible death has allowed, I might add, EAGER BEAVER from WRATHMEN 21-43 to ascend 
to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy.  By the way, was 
that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Silver 
Chalice?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the TOP FIVE DOUBLES stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on TRICORUS, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding TOP 
FIVE DOUBLES more than any other team we find THE FELLOWSHIP.  TRICORUS, are we going 
to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice that 
BUTTERBLUR from THE FELLOWSHIP was TRICORUS' most challenged warrior this turn.   
     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.  The manager of THE FELLOWSHIP will 
not be pleased to learn that NORI BRANDYFOOT, a 2-0-1 fighter, has been killed at the 
hands of OF WOLF & PITT's LUPERZA.  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.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in TRICORUS again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
