                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail MORDANT!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for 
ROMAN EMPIRE, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 10th.  The SWEORDMASTERS 
guild has had a 4-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know 
where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, MIASMA fought MISS TEAK and gained 
22 points and contributed to SWEORDMASTERS' 4-0-0.  MISS TEAK has lost to MIASMA, 
falling 25 points, while helping make SEA DOGS a 3-2-0 turn.  The attempts to 
dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and MAKESHIFT ANCHOR remains MORDANT's top 
warrior for another turn.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, 
cramped under the table at Conan's Place?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.   
     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.  This is not good to see.  Why pray 
tell has WIDMER BROS been sent to the Dark Arena by MANNEQUIN'S BEST?  And why with a 
2-0-1 record??  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover 
or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Always good to rest in MORDANT, but never good to wear out my welcome.  
Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
