SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt WILLAF will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference,
as BLOOD ON THE TRACKS is pushed out of top team by AIMER'S INC, who came from 3rd
with a 3-2-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are
sorrows to drown for BLOOD ON THE TRACKS, whose 2-1-0 this turn dropped them by 4
into 5th. And let's see, TEETER-SLAUGHTER fought MOONSINGER and gained 32 points and
contributed to DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND's 1-0-1. JACK OF HEARTS has lost to AARON, falling
19 points, while helping make BLOOD ON THE TRACKS a 2-1-0 turn. Defending his title
for another turn, EVEBRINGER kept WILLAF's warrior, CONVICTED ASSASSIN, from claiming
the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their
losing fighters do dishes at The Swinging Aardvark until they win. Maybe?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the PANDORA'S CARDS
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on WILLAF, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided PANDORA'S CARDS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
GOLDEN GLADIATORS. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that HORI BULL
from PUNNY AMINALS was WILLAF'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? SHADOWMONGERS has lost MOONSINGER to the arena in the sky, but they
don't seem to be worried. What do you expect from 17-19-0? Is it really true that
WILLAF has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. 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 WILLAF again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
