                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in MORDANT this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there 
are sorrows to drown for SWEORDMASTERS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 6 into 
8th.  MIGHTY MORALS II stable has parlayed this turn's 2-1-0 into a 5 space move up 
the rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, 
BASTARD SON OF ENOCH fought FLOOD SURFER and gained 15 points and contributed to 
HAWKMOON 269's 1-0-0.  HONESTY has lost to CHINA BULL, falling 6 points, while 
helping make MIGHTY MORALS II a 2-1-0 turn.  Defending his title for another turn, 
BLACK kept MORDANT's warrior, CHARK FORKBEARD, from claiming the throne.  Tell me, is 
nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Conan's Place uses 
trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
HOMICIDAL MANIACS' warrior RANDOM MANIAC.  More fighters challenged him than 
challenged the Duelmaster!  Building dreams on hope, JOY challenged up 30 points this 
turn to take on CKYNST OAF from HOMICIDAL MANIACS stable.  And crowds were on their 
feet when JOY claimed a victory from CKYNST OAF, and now has 50 points for his 
efforts.  In a fit of brilliance or of stupidity (hard to say sometimes), HONOR 
challenged RANDOM MANIAC today, facing a 28 difference in recognition.  And whaddya 
know, HONOR beat RANDOM MANIAC, and the fighters of MIGHTY MORALS II were last seen 
lifting frothy pints of ale in honor of HONOR's 25 point gain.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Kudos go out to CHINA BULL this turn, for revenging HOMICIDAL MANIACS' 
bloodfeud against MIGHTY MORALS II's warrior HONESTY.  Well done.  A brave warrior 
does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  
Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

Joy -- Oh, absolutely!  Great stuff, joy, and you brought me a lot of it. -- China
Bull

Honor -- We're sure the Clumsy Oaf (he even messed up writing his name on the
application) had lots of worthy comments to make, but none of us could understand
them, so we figured you wouldn't either.  It was, as these things go, quite a decent
sort of fight. -- the other Homicidal Maniacs

Moneybags Mefrin tried to BUY ME OFF!  That IDIOT!  Doesn't he realize that your
TRUE maniacs, of which I am proud to be one, don't fight for MONEY, we fight for
FIGHTING.  For the glories of chaos and destruction--gotta love 'em!  Naturally, I
moshed him. -- Random Maniac

Honesty -- What's the good of honesty, how honest IS it, actually, if you don't TELL
me there is ice under that snow?  I'm gone for the season, and I just hope my
replacement truly appreciates the need to make sure everyone gets out of the way. --
Ghost of Winter Driver
P.S.  And I hope your brakes lock the next time YOU go into a skid on the ice.

Grall the Deserter?  He needs to move faster.  He's never going to make it out of
here alive if he drags his feet. -- Little Bear
P.S.  Not that I have anything against his feet, I have every intention of getting a
foot-long "with everything" sandwich out of this encounter.

Arenamaster Kakar -- Clean fingernails may not be a sin, I say MAY not, but it's
definitely a sign to look deeper and see what this person is hiding. -- China Bull

     That is not "clean fingernails," that is life.  Everyone is hiding something. --
