                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
KYR'TERR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  If The Dripping Blade is buying 
drinks for THE GARRISON's good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry before long.  A 
3-2-0 makes for a big thirst.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are 
sorrows to drown for DARQUE FORCES IV, whose 0-1-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 
16th.  Ha!  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see QUARTERMASTER win a fight 
and gain 21 points, terribly.  L5R challenged KYR'TERR's Duelmaster for a shot at the 
throne.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as L5R takes the Title and last 
week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Dripping Blade, humph!  I've 
tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From KYR'TERR's 
trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
DARQUE FORCES, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided 
team.  Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And who led the way in this mass 
act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was THE GARRISON.  Ha ha ha ha! 
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, MANIFEST was this turn's most challenged warrior.  
Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  ROBKE COHUR was challenged by one of THE 
GARRISON's warriors this turn, with MANIFEST having a lead of 17 points going into 
the fight.  This is the sort of thing that makes the price of admission to KYR'TERR's 
games worth it!  MANIFEST was defeated by ROBKE COHUR!!   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only 
shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of KYR'TERR.  I feel much better now.  I see the crowds are 
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
