SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in NIANIA this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, GWAR fought VETERAN MERCENARY and
gained 23 points and contributed to MENTOR DEMENTOR's 4-1-0. GENERAL PATTERN has
lost to HEAD CHEESE, falling 8 points, while helping make THE RUNAROUND a 2-2-0 turn.
Defending his title for another turn, DEPP kept NIANIA's warrior, VETERAN MERCENARY,
from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at Jim's Tap Room?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but 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? The most challenged warrior this turn was THE
RUNAROUND's warrior GENERAL PATTERN. 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? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in NIANIA and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in NIANIA again, farewell--

Five dead, and one of them is us! He may not have been the best gladiator, but he
was the best Butter. Alas that I made fun of him, I wished him no such ill. Two-
three and a death. Were it not that I know it is what THEY wish of me, I would throw
myself about and wail lavishly at this poor showing, but as it is, eh. Not a lucky
turn for us. -- THE Haddock

JASPER GULCH: DM 85
Zeb Karan around the big table. Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and
stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and
infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like
this, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
"So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they
closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?"
"Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary.
There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're
too full of team records."
"Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested.
Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the
arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave.
"We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested.
"We can't burn RECORDS."
"I could," Rinvar said.
"But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its
own sake, Jame."
Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew."
"When are they shutting down Blackstone?"
"To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers
want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel
from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this
week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can
recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of
enquiry around the room.
"Jasper Gulch," a steward said.
"Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably
'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be
transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT."
Voth nodded. "We can work with this."
"Beats not working."
