                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt KALTOS will ever be the same.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for 
there are sorrows to drown for THE MIDDLE WAY 5, whose 1-2-0 this turn dropped them 
by 4 into 7th.  NAWLINS 2023 stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 4 space 
move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 4th place.  Good work, guys!  And let's 
see, DEATH BY ALLY JR fought SHE and gained 23 points and contributed to 
TEABAG@TEMPE23.6's 1-4-1.  XENIA has lost to BLACK BEAUTY, falling 6 points, while 
helping make JAMES BONDAGE a 1-2-0 turn.  COAL BLACK challenged for the 
Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone THE PURGE 290's warrior.  Defending 
his title for another turn, ROMAN kept BLACK BULLDOGS' warrior, COAL BLACK, from 
claiming the throne.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes 
their losing fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern 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.  BLACK BULLDOGS has cause to stand 
tall, as they were KALTOS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team 
to beat.  And avoiding BLACK BULLDOGS more than any other team we find THE PURGE 290. 
KALTOS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged 
warrior this turn was THE MIDDLE WAY 5's warrior XAVIERA ADAMS.  More fighters 
challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  This is the stuff legends are made 
of.  DEATH BY ALLY JR has killed SHE, a 1-3-0 warrior of PLASTER CASTER.  I hear 
TEABAG@TEMPE23.6 welcomes a bloodfeud challenge.  Is it really true that KALTOS has 
more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, KALTOS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in KALTOS again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
