                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ZUKAL a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  So 
bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  PET SHOP FLOYD stable has parlayed 
this turn's 4-1-1 into a 4 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd 
place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, CHIHUAHUA FLOYD fought IT'S A JOKE, RIGHT? 
and gained 25 points and contributed to PET SHOP FLOYD's 4-1-1.  BOMBAY FLOYD has 
lost to THE ZONK, falling 4 points, while helping make PET SHOP FLOYD a 4-1-1 turn.  
Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, HIS NIBS has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  We should ask THE ZONK 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 Blue 
Boar Inn until they win.  Maybe?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  I guess it was coming sooner or later, BLUE MOON has lost IT'S A JOKE, 
RIGHT?, and ZUKAL is bound to miss him.  For a little while, at least.  The bigger 
they are, as they say.  And what I say is that CHIHUAHUA FLOYD had better watch out 
for BLUE MOON, seeing as IT'S A JOKE, RIGHT? felled he this turn.  Is it really true 
that ZUKAL has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in ZUKAL, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in ZUKAL again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
