SPY REPORT
Good day, in RIZTAB a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as BLUE NOTE is pushed out of top team by WHO DA MAN?, who came from 3rd
with a 2-3-0 this turn. The SWEET MAGIC 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. On
their very first turn, ESPIRIT DE CORPSE had a 4-1-0, and with this kind of luck or
skill, should do well. Welcome to RIZTAB. And let's see, GRUBSTAKER fought DEVAR
THE TRAITOR and gained 17 points and contributed to SWEET MAGIC's 4-1-0. SUGAR BABY
has lost to JOY OF LOSING, falling 10 points, while helping make SWEET MAGIC a 4-1-0
turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and TATUM 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 Warty Toad?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the DREAMERS
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on RIZTAB, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided DREAMERS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was WHO DA
MAN?. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was ICE AGE's warrior
CHOCOLATE CHARLIE. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. You gotta do what you gotta do. OBLIVION FORCE has sent CASKET to the Dark
Arena. The deed is done. Lift the ale, and toast the memory. A brave warrior does
not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.
Consider well.
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

To say that striped ice cream is a Good Thing is not an idle boast. It's nothing but
the truth. -- Nelli Politana
Hot flash! Who Da Man? Is (are) on a Diet! They're avoiding our great sweet stuff.
-- Nelli and the rest of Sweet Magic, except Grubstaker
Our congratulations to Heliodorus. -- Jorja and Sweet Magic
Yoda Man -- Ice cream is the answer to anxiety. It doesn't fix the underlying cause,
but if you eat enough ice cream (striped, for choice), you don't care. -- Nelli
Politana
Ammonius -- You're just so totally not my kind of person. -- Sugar Baby
Arignote -- Ah, well, it was a good dream while it lasted. -- Charlene
Corea -- Shouldn't you have "Oh, Graffy" on the end of that? -- Grubstaker
Sucker Punch -- Hmm, grape. Not my favorite flavor of sucker, but it'll do. --
