SPY REPORT Good day, in MORDANT a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the difference, as HOMICIDAL MANIACS is pushed out of top team by MIGHTY MORALS II, who came from 2nd with a 2-1-0 this turn. And let's see, VERMOUTH fought LITTLE BEAR and gained 11 points and contributed to BOOZE's 1-1-0. CKYNST OAF has lost to JOY, falling 2 points, while helping make HOMICIDAL MANIACS a 2-3-0 turn. Defending his title for another turn, VAN DERMINT kept MIGHTY MORALS II's warrior, HONESTY, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at Conan's Place? I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the BOOZE stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on MORDANT, what are you afraid of? And avoiding BOOZE more than any other team we find MIGHTY MORALS II. MORDANT, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. 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. I like this place, MORDANT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. Who could ask for more? 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JOY 7701 9 2 0 87 MIGHTY MORALS II (569) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HONOR 7698 9 2 0 80 MIGHTY MORALS II (569) HONESTY 7699 8 3 1 74 MIGHTY MORALS II (569) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CHINA BULL 7873 14 18 0 62 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) RANDOM MANIAC 7800 8 30 1 60 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) CKYNST OAF 8444 11 11 0 57 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CHIANTI 8500 4 0 0 55 BOOZE (605) LITTLE BEAR 8495 7 5 1 35 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VERMOUTH 8445 1 1 0 32 BOOZE (605) -OVER INNSMOUTH 8434 3 5 0 24 DREAD EMPIRE (617) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FLOOD SURFER 8508 4 4 0 23 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) DIRK DIGLER 8115 1 1 0 9 KIDS GONE BAD (275) -CAMPARI 8526 1 0 0 6 BOOZE (605) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

I can't say I'm really upset about it, since it is always better to earn the throne through a real fight, but that doesn't mean I won't use the tools at my disposal to gain any advantage possible. Good luck in ADM. -- Assur Papa Bear -- Were you running in Tricorus years ago when I was running my first Mighty Morals team? It was you or the Dark One and for some bizarre reason I have mixed you two up for years. -- Assur Chianti -- Why is there candle-wax in this wine? By all the gods, I should osterize you for that! -- Random Maniac P.S. Feels weird to have an actual reason. Honor -- Huh. Is that why you learn so well? Being honorable and all? No one ever said anything about THAT to me. -- China Bull I don't think Black Devin expected to meet up with someone even bigger than he was. Serves him right, he's been such a bully in the back halls of the arena. -- China Bull for Ckynst Oaf Over Innsmouth -- Yeah, well, that's a heck of an overbite you have there, and it isn't always a helpful thing, you know. Sometimes it's good to bring the teeth together squarely. -- Little Bear I laugh at the Convicted Thief, who doesn't know a THING about the best ways and places to, ah, engage in flood salvage. He's crude. -- Flood Surfer Our congratulations to Van Dermint. -- Jorja and the Homicidal Maniacs Van Dermint -- Yeah, what she said, and I, um, found... yeah, I FOUND a nifty trophy cup that might be just the thing for you to remember us all by. -- Flood Surfer LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DA2 was dealt death by DARK CHAMPION in a 2 minute Dark Arena fight. DA1 was butchered by BLACK ORC in a 1 minute Dark Arena duel. VAN DERMINT demolished HONESTY in a 1 minute one-sided melee. HONOR narrowly defeated CHINA BULL in a 2 minute bloody duel. JOY devastated CKYNST OAF in a 1 minute one-sided Title fight. RANDOM MANIAC demolished GRUNESH THE ORC in a 1 minute mismatched competition. FLOOD SURFER was defeated by LIEUTENANT WOREL in a 2 minute brutal struggle. LITTLE BEAR slimly won victory over VERMOUTH in a 2 minute competition. DIRK DIGLER defeated GRALL THE DESERTER in a 2 minute beginner's melee.
