SPY REPORT
Good day, in ZUKAL a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So
bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. The BLUE MOON guild has had a 4-1-0
turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of
thing can lead. And let's see, BLUE MONDAY fought CULT MEMBER and gained 11 points
and contributed to BLUE MOON's 4-1-0. CLEOPATRA SCHWARTZ has lost to BISBEE, falling
14 points, while helping make CLAN O' WHOOPAS a 2-3-0 turn. Our Duelmaster has lost,
folks, lost to KHALHUMS DWARF, BUT GWEN RYDER is still the Duelmaster because she has
the most recognition points! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last
night, cramped under the table at The Blue Boar Inn?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. Well, sports fans, take notice
that BLUE GOOSE from BLUE MOON was ZUKAL's most challenged warrior this turn. In a
brave attempt, SLASH LARUE from CLAN O' WHOOPAS challenged up 19 points to fight BLUE
GOOSE from the BLUE MOON stable. SLASH LARUE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing
as he was bested by BLUE GOOSE and ended up with 40 recognition points. STONEWALL
JACKSON of CLAN O' WHOOPAS had better have a good reason for challenging down 11
points in a challenge which he won. I thought STONEWALL JACKSON showed great skill
and promise when he bested MORENCI. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Congratulations go out to BLUE MOON, with BISBEE revenging a bloodfeud
against CLEOPATRA SCHWARTZ of CLAN O' WHOOPAS. Is it really true that ZUKAL 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 ZUKAL, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in ZUKAL again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Slash Larue -- Well, I think you should graduate and take on Lash Larue, a graduate
of Veastian currently registered in Lirin Kiv. I think you should BEAT HIM UP, even
if he IS one of Jorja's warriors same as I am. He's a BEAST. -- Blue Goose
P.S. That's what the skills are for.
P.P.S. You certainly know what to do with that thing!
Tito the Guido -- And with that, I sink into losing-record-dom. What a thrill. --
(black and) Blue Monday
Cleopatra Scwhartz -- I sincerely hope that was an accident. -- Ghost of Persis
Stonewall Jackson -- One of the mysteries of the universe reveals itself: Why, after
you won so forcefully, did the crowd desire you to be sent to the Dark Arena? I know
they like me, but that's ridiculous. -- Morenci
Oh, an Embezzling Scribe. I don't mind him. In fact, if I have to fight a criminal,
I'll take one with a white collar any day. -- Bisbee
Persis -- Sorry. I was aiming for your legs. I got carried away. -- Cleo
Blue Goose -- Shall we dance again? It's my turn to lead! -- Slash

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
