                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
NIANIA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  SAM'S TOYS turned their 1-0-0 turn 
into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get 
put on hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see JORMP JUMPER win a 
fight and gain 15 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, AMBITIOUS GUARD beat BARRUK and BARRUK 
lost 6 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, 
NIANIA may be getting bland, as ELINTERRI stays top dog in the city.  Kickbacks and 
bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their 
fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
NIANIA, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  BLADES OF STEEL the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like YELLOWSTONE YOGIS 
avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  
Hmph.  PIKESTAVE was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was 
the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  We're all going to die in the end, so why 
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     There's got to be a better place in NIANIA to get a drink than Jim's Tap Room!  
Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of 
NIANIA.  I feel much better now.  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave 
now-- Snide Clemens

Five fights, us and the standbys and ONE other true warrior.  Four-one for us, with,
of course!, the loss being to the other warrior out there.  And I graduate, which is
a pleasant surprise, although... Epee?  I can't begin to handle that thing.  Too
clumsy, as well as (sigh) cursed with little damage.  The full, shameful, details of
my qualifications is available if wanted. -- Elinterri
