SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in RIZTAB this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, SOPHOCLES fought HEZASH THE MOUTH
and gained 18 points and contributed to DREAMERS' 1-4-1. PHILOLAUS has lost to SETH,
falling 10 points, while helping make DREAMERS a 1-4-1 turn. Due to his absence and
inability to defend the throne, INVENTOR OF PAIN has lost the title of Duelmaster.
And all eyes were on CAELUM this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.
RIZTAB has a new victor! Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team
makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Welcome Wench until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. Well, sports fans, take notice that CAELUM from FORCE OF FIVE
was RIZTAB's most challenged warrior this turn.
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. Is it really true that RIZTAB has
more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in RIZTAB, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in RIZTAB again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Pythagoras -- Ah, triangles! Of course, why didn't I think of that? Triangles of
pastry, maybe a bread dough this time, with ham and cheese and a little garlic, yes,
roll 'em up, bake them-- Oh, all right, we'll make it lamb, in fact, we'll make it
gyros meat in honor of your Greek origin. I actually have no problem with gyros
croissants. Well, maybe the linguistic clash, but hey, it's nothing but mustard,
really. -- Corianelle
P.S. I just don't FEEL like sweet stuff today, you know? I think it's the weather.
All that snow and ice seems to demand "hearty, substantial" fare. I can do that.
Inventor of Pain -- That's a crock! There's been pain around a lot longer than you.
But...hmm. Pain...pan...pan dulces? Yes, or maybe maronitoes. Gingerbread pigs,
you know. I've heard that some people eat them with a sort of sauce, never tried
that myself. -- Tariliss
P.S. I wonder how they'd be with lebni? They're good with applesauce, I do know
that.
P.P.S. What? I DIED? No! I don't have TIME to die right now, I've got stuff to
DO. I refuse to die. I'll...I'll just RETIRE.
Protagoras -- Huh, I never considered what one might do with a whole apple after
removing the core. Fill it with rains, nuts, sugar, and spices and bake it, you say?
What about a pastry jacket for it? And OF COURSE ice cream on top once it comes out
of the oven. But obviously it has to be a GOOD apple, one with flavor and juiciness.
Yes, I could try that. Come on by and sample the results, okay? -- Carlotta
Phil Pain -- Filled flan? CAN one fill flan? It's a kind of custard pudding, right?
Caramel or something. I could, of course make a custard pudding with the usual
suspects: raisins and other dried fruits, nuts, bits of lemon peel, that sort of
thing, but everybody seems to be doing it these days. I wanted something DIFFERENT.
Still, I suppose this will sell well in our little shop, and with firewood prices
going up, that is a good point. Hmm. -- Kissa Belle
P.S. I suppose I could pour it into a baked pie shell after it's cooked, couldn't I?
Sophocles -- I'm sure I have NO idea what kind of food you might suggest, so we'd
better get more friendly, don't you think? I'm inclining toward a sponge cake
with...cherry sauce, I think, but we need to spend some time together, because it
might be something else instead. -- Dora Bell
