                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt MURSKA will ever be the same.  It seems the training can make the difference, 
as WRATHMEN PROXY 3 is pushed out of top team by LORDS OF DOOM, who came from 2nd 
with a 2-3-1 this turn.  SATAN'S SWARM stable has parlayed this turn's 3-0-0 into a 3 
space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 5th place.  Good work, guys!  And 
let's see, EVIL EARWIG fought SHYBEL GIBBEN and gained 23 points and contributed to 
SATAN'S SWARM's 3-0-0.  REAPER GRAVEQUAKE has lost to TERRIBLE TARANTULA, falling 16 
points, while helping make PHILANTHROPISTS 3 a 3-2-0 turn.  This week's Duelmaster 
bout was between LUDENS and our Duelmaster DELYSSA, making a challenge.  And all eyes 
were on LUDENS this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  MURSKA has a 
new victor!  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their 
losing fighters do dishes at The Howling Wolf until they win.  Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  HOUSE JHEREG has cause to stand tall, 
as they were MURSKA's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And guess who avoided HOUSE JHEREG stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
SATAN'S SWARM.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was WRATHMEN 
PROXY 3's warrior LUDENS.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the 
Duelmaster!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  BO GOUGE has departed MURSKA, leaving WRATHMEN PROXY 3 without their 4-4-0 
warrior.  Question, just what was his team doing at the taverns last night?  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.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Always good to rest in MURSKA, but never good to wear out my welcome.  
Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in MURSKA again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe
