                                      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 5 into 
8th.  HOMICIDAL MANIACS stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 4 space move up 
the rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, 
DARIA ORO fought MONEYBAGS MEFRIN and gained 16 points and contributed to LOW ROAD 
3's 3-1-1.  TINGO has lost to CATTY WENCH, falling 6 points, while helping make 
SERPENTS' HOLD a 2-2-0 turn.  This turn S... MC Dark Arena Challenged BLACK ORC in 
what was MORDANT's Title bout.  Defending his title for another turn, S... MC kept 
DARK ARENA's warrior, BLACK ORC, from claiming the throne.  Can someone confirm a 
rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at Conan's 
Place until they win.  Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the HOMICIDAL 
MANIACS stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on MORDANT, what are you 
afraid of?  And guess who avoided HOMICIDAL MANIACS stable the most?  Believe it or 
not, it was SERPENTS' HOLD.  Anyone surprised?   
     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.  Had I not seen it, it would be hard 
to believe.  S... MC was sent to the Dark Arena and lived to tell about it!  Makes 
you think, no?  Is it really true that MORDANT has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     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 you see my quill in MORDANT again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Two-three again.  It's enough to make a person believe in malign fate!  At least THIS
time, one of the wins was MINE, which is as it should be.  At least the new guys
lost, which is also as it should be.  And that ass, the Masked Murderer.  Like
running around in a mask and tight changes it from murder?  As if. -- Schoolbus
Driver
P.S.  And the Low Roaders went one-three, with one loss being to a Caeran Slave.
Sometimes, life is good.

Our congratulations to S... Mc, the bane of our careers.  You earned your graduation.

Plus, we salute the tourney victors Wyrd and Wilar.  Good going. -- Schoolbus Driver
