                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ARUAK CITY a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets 
poor.  So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  Now keep the taverns open 
late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for THE BLUES, whose 0-0-0 this turn 
dropped them by 7 into 11th.  THE MYRMIDONS stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 
into a 5 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 7th place.  Good work, 
guys!  The ANIMAL FARM guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the 
future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, PUMPKIN 
PYTHON fought NIBBLES and gained 22 points and contributed to ANIMAL FARM's 3-1-0.  
NIBBLES has lost to PUMPKIN PYTHON, falling 15 points, while helping make RATTZ a 
2-3-0 turn.  COW BELL challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to 
dethrone RAGIN CAJUNS' warrior.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, 
and BRENNANS remains ARUAK CITY's top warrior for another turn.  Tell me, is nothing 
sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Bulldog Inn uses trolls in 
their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the RATTZ stable was the 
most avoided team this turn.  Come on ARUAK CITY, what are you afraid of?  And 
avoiding RATTZ more than any other team we find BULLDOGS.  ARUAK CITY, are we going 
to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice that TERESA 
LEE from KRILL CAVALRY was ARUAK CITY's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  I guess it was coming sooner or later, KRILL CAVALRY has lost LEN STROKER, 
and ARUAK CITY is bound to miss him.  For a little while, at least.  Is it really 
true that ARUAK CITY has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd 
ask...   
     I like this place, ARUAK CITY, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ARUAK CITY and 
I've a long road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in ARUAK CITY 
again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
