SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt RIZTAB will ever be the same. And let's see, DREADKNIGHT fought HEZASH THE
MOUTH and gained 12 points and contributed to FORCE OF FIVE's 4-1-0. CARLOTTA has
lost to PROTAGORAS, falling 10 points, while helping make SWEET MAGIC a 1-4-0 turn.
SETH challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone DREAMERS'
warrior. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and PYTHAGORAS remains
RIZTAB's top warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I
saw last night, cramped under the table at The Welcome Wench?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? 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. 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 -- Well, damn. I don't actually mind losing, but I mind losing because I
was too tired to follow through to the end. I knew there was going to be trouble
with all those sweets we've been doing: no staying power. I think I'll go eat
sausages and hash-browns. -- Corianelle
Maverick -- Beef and beans? But we don't cook that kind of thing here! We're a
Sweet Shoppe sort of place. Cakes and pastries, cookies, candies, you know the
stuff. Beef and beans? I'm not thinking so. -- Carlotta
P.S. It'd serve you right if I made marzipan and said THAT was inspired by you.
Sophocles -- I'm thinking: sweet dumplings. I've heard about 'em for years, and
maybe this is the spur I need to actually give it a try. I wonder what they're
cooked in, fruit soup? Maybe they're cooked in very juicy pie filling so it's kind
of like an inside-out pie, with the "crust" part floating in the filling. Hmm. Even
sounds a little like a cobbler, although I've never found this kind of thing in a
shoe shop. -- Kissa Belle
The Blob -- Cinnamon rolls. Sticky buns. Maybe even kolaches. -- Dora Bell
Lady Deathstrike -- Hey, you can't blame me for you gaining weight. You could say
"no," you know. -- Tinakarina
P.S. A diet of (euwh) fish has got me learning skills now.
