                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, RIZTAB?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, SWEET MAGIC, since DREAMERS 
took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  If this keeps up, SWEET 
MAGIC, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 4 in the rankings? 
Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, 4TH TIME AROUND, the Fates 
teach humility, and the Fates are proud.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to 
see MUD MUD FROG win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, MUD MUD FROG 
beat HELIODORUS and HELIODORUS lost 15 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if 
variety is the spice of life, RIZTAB may be getting bland, as AESARA stays top dog in 
the city.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of 
these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave 
team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the RIZTAB arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  I see 
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Three-two with two of the wins over standbys.  Well, it could have been worse.  LAST
time was worse!  Aesara defeated me "handily," which is okay, I didn't want to be
duelmaster.  I want to eat ice cream.  Ice cream is GOOD.  And Charlene got stuck in
the mud, but we all suspected her of being a stick-in-the-mud, so that's no surprise,
either!  And Taffy "overpowered" Heliodorus--WE all think she's sweet on him.  Ha. --
Nelli Politana, for Sweet Magic

I am not!  I mean, sure, he's tall and, um, good-looking, and, well, really manly-
looking.  I was just ADMIRING him. -- Taffy
