I certainly never expected to defeat The Shocker. But it WAS fun. Maretha SPY REPORT Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport. I doubt NIANIA will ever be the same. And let's see, SHOCKING fought SPIKE MCGOLD and gained 20 points and contributed to INQUISITION SL5's 2-0-0. SPIKE MCGOLD has lost to SHOCKING, falling 15 points, while helping make THE GOLDEN FISH a 2-2-0 turn. We should ask THE SHOCKER about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Jim's Tap Room uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. 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. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in NIANIA and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails.
