                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt JASPER GULCH will ever be the same.  DARK INSANITY stable has parlayed this 
turn's 1-0-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 4th place.  
Good work, guys!  And let's see, TERSI HOAXLORE fought SOLA and gained 22 points and 
contributed to BIG LAKE FEVER's 1-0-0.  SOLA has lost to TERSI HOAXLORE, falling 14 
points, while helping make OF WOLF AND MAN4 a 0-1-0 turn.  Due to his absence and 
inability to defend the throne, OH OLISH OHOONI has lost the title of Duelmaster.  We 
should ask KANTOS KAN 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 Swinging Aardvark 
until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.   
     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.  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, JASPER GULCH, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  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 
JASPER GULCH again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
