                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail SNOWBOUND!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  And let's see, GUS CANNON fought OSTINATO and gained 22 points and 
contributed to THE BLUES 50's 4-1-0.  BIG JIM has lost to BIG BIRD, falling 6 points, 
while helping make SIGMA NU'S a 2-3-0 turn.  TRILL challenged for the Duelmastership 
this turn, attempting to dethrone FAR TRAVELERS' warrior.  And all eyes were on TRILL 
this turn as she ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  SNOWBOUND has a new victor!  
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 DARQUE THEORY stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on SNOWBOUND, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding 
DARQUE THEORY more than any other team we find OPEN SESAME.  SNOWBOUND, are we going 
to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
MIDDLE WAY 6's warrior PERRY REESE.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the 
Duelmaster!   
     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.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in SNOWBOUND and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
