                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt SOLVEN will ever be the same.  It seems the training can make the difference, 
as PROTECTORS is pushed out of top team by SNOT QUITE RIGHT, who came from 3rd with a 
4-1-0 this turn.  ARE YOU ? stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 3 space move 
up the rankings.  This brings them up to 4th place.  Good work, guys!  The SNOT QUITE 
RIGHT guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never 
know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, SLIM PICKENS fought POLITE 
BEGGAR and gained 11 points and contributed to SNOT QUITE RIGHT's 4-1-0.  MEBIAN has 
lost to DUNCAN HUNTER, falling 3 points, while helping make MIDDLE WAY 15 a 0-1-0 
turn.  Due to its absence and inability to defend the throne, THE ENEMY WITHIN has 
lost the title of Duelmaster.  And not without some honor, DUNCAN HUNTER now claims 
the title and throne of Duelmaster of SOLVEN.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster 
that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the PROTECTORS stable was the most avoided 
team this turn.  Come on SOLVEN, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding PROTECTORS 
more than any other team we find THE REPUBLICANS.  SOLVEN, are we going to accept, or 
respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior this turn was MIDDLE WAY 
15's warrior MEBIAN.  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?  PROTECTORS has lost PRINCE to the arena in the sky, but they don't 
seem to be worried.  What do you expect from 7-6-0?  Is it really true that SOLVEN 
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.  Always good to rest in SOLVEN, but never good to wear out my welcome.  
Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in SOLVEN again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe
