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. It seems the training can make the difference, as
THE UNDEAD is pushed out of top team by WHO DA MAN?, who came from 3rd with a 4-1-0
this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown
for THE UNDEAD, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 6 into 7th. DREAMERS stable
has parlayed this turn's 2-1-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings. This brings them
up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! The WHO DA MAN? guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and
deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can
lead. And let's see, HYPATIA fought GRUBSTAKER and gained 25 points and contributed
to DREAMERS' 2-1-0. GRUBSTAKER has lost to HYPATIA, falling 17 points, while helping
make SWEET MAGIC a 2-3-0 turn. Due to his absence and inability to defend the
throne, MARTYR has lost the title of Duelmaster. And not without some honor,
HELIODORUS now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of RIZTAB. 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?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. THE UNDEAD has cause to stand tall, as
they were RIZTAB's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And avoiding THE UNDEAD more than any other team we find WHO DA MAN?. RIZTAB, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that
NELLI POLITANA from SWEET MAGIC was RIZTAB's most challenged warrior this turn.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? 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.
I like this place, RIZTAB, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? 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
