Thornsinger's Song

Thorns arise, 
guarding the ground, 
With prickly branches all around, 
A haunting melody, a piercing sound, 
In Thornsinger's song.

The roses bloom, their beauty crowned, 
With crimson petals scattered round, 
Yet hidden barbs are always found, 
In Thornsinger's song.

The wind blows cold, the shadows creep, 
While thorny vines their secrets keep, 
And through the night, the whispers weep, 
In Thornsinger's song.

May the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                          -- Thornsinger, Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome ZORPUNT.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with OLD KNOTSCOUR?  
He actually beat CRAYOLAS' ORANGE, and walked away with 20 more points from the 
fight.  Laughs were big at ZORPUNT while they watched KHALHUMS DWARF clobber 
IRONBOUGH.  He lost 10 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
DIMWIT OVERHILL was reminded on the sands why THORNSINGER is Duelmaster.  Wouldn't it 
be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the 
uses of convicted prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  ZORPUNT thinks CRAYOLAS and 
their 55-16-3 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give up...  In my day, no 
team with a 53-15-3 would scare me off!  What's the problem, TREEBEARD'S ARMY?  What 
do people see in WARWILLOW?  His 3-3-0?  TREEBEARD'S ARMY ain't talkin', but he's got 
20 points.   
     Warriors of ZORPUNT unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Here's some 
advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  The end 
of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
