SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt MALCORN will ever be the same. And let's see, NO RAIN fought CONVICTED THIEF
and gained 14 points and contributed to BLIND MELON's 3-2-1. FANG has lost to INKED
PIG, falling 7 points, while helping make SERPENTS' HOLD a 1-4-0 turn. We should ask
STEVE about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a
warrior, he's now the one to ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Victory Tavern uses trolls in their stew. Talk about
gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. 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. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in MALCORN again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe
