SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in WILLAF this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
WYLDERNESS WYLD is pushed out of top team by PUNNY AMINALS, who came from 2nd with a
3-2-0 this turn. And let's see, YUSHIMO fought O. PUN PLEEZJ and gained 24 points
and contributed to YAMABUSHI's 1-1-0. ANYA has lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, falling 14
points, while helping make BLACKHEART'S AXE a 2-1-0 turn. Due to his absence and
inability to defend the throne, ANTEZEL has lost the title of Duelmaster. And all
eyes were on CALIAPHUS this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. WILLAF
has a new victor! Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable
sources that The Dripping Blade uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that.
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.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in WILLAF, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
All; Forces of Evil -- If not for the Arenamaster's insane notions of matching up
such outrageously unbalanced fights between warriors such as Shochu (with 53 points,
11 FE) and Kyser Soze (with 29 points, 3 FE), then perhaps Kyser would still be alive
to fight another day. It is an unfortunate occurrance that a killing like this has
taken place, but the blame for it lands squarely on the shoulders of the DMs (RSI's
Arenamasters), and not on the Yamabushi.
Actually, the arenamaster is not in that loop, but your point is well taken. At
this time, the only defense against such mis-matches is to issue challenges and
avoids.
Kurome -- Son, it was a bad match for you, but I make up for it. My experience may
not give me a winning record, but it makes me a great teacher, doesn't it? -- O. Pun
Pleezj
Por Q. Pine -- You know, I'm not really thrilled by fights like that. But it did, as
they say, get me the "scummed sympathy vote," so I suppose that's something. -- Oran
Ji
Grizz -- I hate that back-and-forth stuff. You know, she shifts to the left, she
shifts to the right, she shifts to the left, she shifts.... Makes me dizzy. -- Peach
Nutt
Tonius -- Wow, with a record like that, you should be on OUR team. -- Little Dipper
P.S. Even with a record like, why did you lose? Not that I mind, but you've got a
lot more experience than I do.
P.P.S. And why didn't you teach me more? Two skills? Piffling.
Benmar -- Some days the handicapper just screws you on the random matches, doesn't
he? Probably an Andorian. -- Heck S'Nutt
P.S. Wear more armor! Cheese.

CLICK (KLK) -- Remember, you asked for it. Chaos is coming....
