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. It seems the training can make the
difference, as BLUE MOON is pushed out of top team by SERPENTS HOLD 3, who came from
3rd with a 2-1-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are
sorrows to drown for HOT STUFF, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 6th.
QUEEN stable has parlayed this turn's 2-1-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings.
This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work, guys! And let's see, TOREADOR fought
NERISA TEAL and gained 26 points and contributed to DARK WARDS' 3-0-1. JED TARRAN
DAPP has lost to BO RHAP, falling 7 points, while helping make BLUE MOON a 2-3-0
turn. Due to hers absence and inability to defend the throne, G-STRING has lost the
title of Duelmaster. We should ask TOREADOR about the thrill of victory, and what
being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask. Can someone
confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at
The Blue Boar Inn until they win. Maybe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. THE WILLBURYS 9 has cause to stand
tall, as they were ZUKAL's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And avoiding THE WILLBURYS 9 more than any other team we find DARK WARDS.
ZUKAL, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged
warrior this turn was PAPERBOYS' warrior THROUGH THE WINDOW. More fighters
challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Hearty mugs of ale were raised in ZUKAL today as NERISA TEAL was bid
farewell to a 9-4-0 warrior, with TOREADOR of DARK WARDS standing silent and pensive.
I wish to point out for QUEEN that there is but a single turn before BLUE MOON and
their warrior, BLAMMO, will get away with killing WE WILL ROCK YOU. We'd like to
remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are;
and it's considered rude.
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--

Our congratulations to G-String, who is too hot for us here. -- Blammo
G-String -- Yep, too hot. I like it cool, myself. -- Blammo
The Veteran Mercenary was INSUFFERABLE with his "let me help you out, little lady,"
and "what's a nice little lady like you doing here?" -- Nerisa Teal
Toreador -- Wow! I do like the way you look in those pants, ma'am. -- Blue Streak
Ambitious Guard, bah. -- Blue Funk
Midnight -- That was embarrassing. If we do it again, let's change the ending. --
Jed Tarran Dapp
If you sent personals and they aren't here, it is probably because email was down for
several hours last night and this morning. The personals WILL show up, almost
certainly, next turn. -- the Editor
