                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail NIANIA!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  And let's see, BITTER PILL fought GUPPY and gained 20 points and contributed 
to OBELISK 002's 2-3-1.  GUPPY has lost to BITTER PILL, falling 12 points, while 
helping make THE GOLDEN FISH a 3-2-0 turn.  And not without some honor, ANSWER PACK 
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?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  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 avoiding THE RUNAROUND more than any other team we find MENTOR DEMENTOR.  NIANIA, 
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take 
notice that SAM THE WHALE from THE GOLDEN FISH was NIANIA's most challenged warrior 
this turn.  In a brave attempt, LUCY from MENTOR DEMENTOR challenged up 18 points to 
fight GENERAL PATTERN from the THE RUNAROUND stable.  LUCY perhaps got hers just 
desserts, seeing as she defeated GENERAL PATTERN and ended up with 47 recognition 
points.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Is it really true that NIANIA has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in NIANIA, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
