                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in NIANIA 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 THE GOLDEN FISH is pushed out of top team by THE RUNAROUND, who came 
from 2nd with a 4-0-0 this turn.  And let's see, LUCY fought MORDANT DESERTER and 
gained 15 points and contributed to MENTOR DEMENTOR's 3-1-0.  TEH HADDOCK has lost to 
HARDY BART, falling 10 points, while helping make THE GOLDEN FISH a 2-3-0 turn.  This 
week's Duelmaster bout was between ARCHED EYELID and our Duelmaster MIKE PIAZZA, 
making a challenge.  And not without some honor, ARCHED EYELID now claims the title 
and throne of Duelmaster of NIANIA.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the 
top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at Jim's Tap Room until they win.  
Maybe?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  THE RUNAROUND has cause to stand 
tall, as they were NIANIA's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team 
to beat.  And guess who avoided THE RUNAROUND stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was YELLOWSTONE YOGIS.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
THE RUNAROUND's warrior ARCHED EYELID.  More fighters challenged him than challenged 
the Duelmaster!   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  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.  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

Three-two this time.  Not so bad, when you come down to it.  After all, we've done
worse! -- Pikestave

pretzel. -- Pikestave

Cortical Giant -- Ha! -- THE Haddock

Hardy Bart -- I do wish you wouldn't go around shouting that you're "Ahab's nephew."
-- Sam the Whale, disturbed

Eau de Pere -- Well, when' you're that big, I suppose it's no surprise that you kept
tripping over your own feet. -- Butter the Best

From:       The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To:         All Managers

In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's 
cramp, census forms will be provided for warriors by request only, effective 
immediately.  Managers may register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by 
simply writing them on a separate piece of paper and submitting them to the 
Commission.  Each warrior may have up to 15 favorite sayings.  Each saying must be 
categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch, Victory and may be up to 80 characters long.  
For any questions, please contact the Gladiatorial Commission.
