                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
MALCORN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, DARK CREATION, since 
WEST COAST WARRIORS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of 
course, we're all terribly impressed to see GREENGROVE win a fight and gain 20 
points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, BUTCHER beat VAREKAI and VAREKAI lost 9 points.  You're 
breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, MALCORN may be getting 
bland, as GO AND GO stays top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, 
but why am I telling you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, MALCORN?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  What's 
the big D?  TRIPLE CROWN was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like DARK CREATION avoided them the most 
this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  GREENGROVE was 
challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or 
feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for MALCORN's 
morgue.  More variety.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate 
catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Just wait 'till next time I show up 
here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must 
leave now-- Snide Clemens

Go and Go -- Don't you ever come back? -- Greengrove
P.S.  This is another way of answering "Where did you go?" isn't it?  You just went
and went, which doesn't sound as classy as go and go.  Ah, well.  Language can be
strange.

Butcher -- I was okay with it until you dragged out your pen and started marking the
different cuts. -- Pebble

J.D. -- I hate fights like that.  Just an endurance contest. -- Jessalin the
disgruntled

Varekai -- Well, you've come to a good place for it.  Get out there and take down
some of the deadwood, sword-sister. -- Tree Shadow
P.S.  Is "dark creation" like, hmm, a little black dress with a top designer's label?

Blackwind -- Well, your two kills were both against my teammates, and not all that
long ago.  It makes me wary. -- Greengrove

To those once of Willaf -- It's time to come back to the sands.  I'm back,
