                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in BONSUR this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, KRONOS GRIMHOLT fought LITTLE VENUS 
and gained 19 points and contributed to SENTINELS' 4-1-0.  LITTLE VENUS has lost to 
KRONOS GRIMHOLT, falling 5 points, while helping make BEACH BABES a 3-2-0 turn.  Well 
done, BONSUR, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Perhaps CANDY 
CANE is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times.  BALDASSARE challenged for the 
Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone CHURCH LADIES' warrior.  Defending 
hers title for another turn, CANDY CANE kept SENTINELS' warrior, BALDASSARE, from 
claiming the throne.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable 
sources that The Swinging Aardvark uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the CHURCH LADIES 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on BONSUR, what are you afraid of?  
And guess who avoided CHURCH LADIES stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
SENTINELS.  Anyone surprised?   
     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.  PAULA must have surprised CHURCH 
LADIES this turn, after they sent her to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't 
hold her!  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or 
hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     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

Daydream -- nice write up.  Thanks. -- Day of old

Deanna -- You lost to me?  Time for you manager to send you to the DA. -- Chaotic
Death

Saltilla -- I've got standards so I'll stick with my team. -- Chaotic Death

Candy Cane -- Congratulations on the title.  I knew if we fought you would be tough,
but I did not expect to be wiped out like that.  Well done, Duelmistress. --
Hieronymus Zigg

Rose -- You evidently did not lose enough sleep at that roadhouse with Blueburn.
Still, that fight went better than I expected.  I think, perhaps, I might even beat
you next time we meet on the arena sands.  Perhaps we shall have to discuss it over
smash.  But away from the Cabana if the lady is really in one of those moods. -- Epee

Patty -- Oh, now that went very well.  But I likely will now have to face the
Christmas Candy.  Hmmm... have you prepared me for that? -- Baldy

Saltilla -- Not everything goes as planned.  I'm really not as grim as my name would
make it seem, but keep doing that and moods might change. -- Kronos

Venus -- So close.  So far.  Ah heck, lets just go for close, shall we? -- Blueburn

Church ladies -- What?  Paula to the dark arena?!  Is this how you treat those who
win a lot in your church?  I dread to even imagine what you do to those who lose!

     I hope that in removing the fifty duplicate copies of the personals above (Hal
     was in a snit, apparently) I didn't accidentally miss something that I should
     have left in.

Baldassare -- That was amazingly well done.  I guess that new batch of smash was the
right stuff, eh?  I'll admit I had my doubts when N'Orleans Nora suggested a "vee-
eight" smash, but it WAS full of vitamins, you could tell, and didn't taste all that
bad.  Odd what works, isn't it? -- Palmetta Patty 

Epee Mystique -- I just never did go for that kind of thing, you know?  To me, an
epee looks like an extra-long knitting needle.  I dunno what anyone would USE an
extra-long knitting needle for. -- Rose o' the Reef

     Neck scarfs for mountains.

Kronos Grimholt -- I'm not sure "grim" is called for, now that I give the matter
thought.  So time flies, why not?  Let it go.  There's always tomorrow, and if there
isn't, we won't be around to notice. -- Saltilla 

Blueburn -- I think that may be the wrong shade of blue.  Too much green in it,
perhaps?  And it's too intense.  Something more of a powder blue would suit me
better. -- Little Venus 

Chaotic Death -- Drat, you broke the string, we'd fought nothing but Sentinels up to
you.  And you insisted on winning, which I do NOT think you should do.  It's better
for your character to continue to lose.  Teaches humility, you know?  And speaking of
teaching, only ONE skill for me?  Stingy, aren't you? -- Deanna Delite 

Baldy -- How about oatmeal-raisin muffins with pecans?  I was gifted with a bag of
shelled pecans, and I want to use them wisely. -- Rose 

Kronos -- Yes, I expect my record to slip steadily as time goes on.  It's a good
thing I'm not conceited... about that, isn't it? -- Little Venus
