SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ALJAFIR this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, XAVIORA YOHL fought YELLOW ORC and
gained 19 points and contributed to MIDDLE WAY's 2-3-0. MAYHEM has lost to ELMER
FLOOD, falling 11 points, while helping make STEEL WOLVES a 3-2-0 turn. The attempts
to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ATTILA THE HUN remains ALJAFIR's top
warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at The Vile Vizier?
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 DEATH INCARNATE
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ALJAFIR, what are you afraid of?
And avoiding DEATH INCARNATE more than any other team we find DEATH INCARNATE.
ALJAFIR, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged
warrior this turn was MIDDLE WAY's warrior VINN WULF. More fighters challenged him
than challenged the Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. DELTA DOOM made what looks to be a
tough decision this turn, as they sent CASS KETT, with a record of 6-5-0, to CASS
KETT death. Farewell, his. 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 ALJAFIR again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Mayhem -- Haven't we been through this before? No, he mayn't, but maybe she may, I
dunno, how about if we find her and try it? At least you weren't parrying with your
face this time. -- Vinn Wulf
P.S. I have no idea how I came to hit you on the left ankle, which is just about
cattycornered from where I was aiming. It must be the spirit of malevolence that
took over my sword. It was probably a good move on your part to fall down, thus
making it clear that you couldn't go on.
Trevisa Dinara -- One of my teammates, you probably don't know him since he graduated
some time ago but it was Daron El, said I should throw you into a fountain.
Something about your name making that the right move. I didn't get it at all, but if
you happen to see Daron El around, you might want to avoid fountains! -- Stelra
Tirins
Skull -- Wow, a power smash! That makes a little carpel tunneling seem like a
bagatelle, doesn't it? Anyway, good parry just before. -- Tamarin Mellirn
P.S. Why didn't you drop the blade? I was kind of aiming for that, sort of. Of
course, the handedness bit didn't work out appropriately, but still.
Rooney -- Whew! We were beginning to worry that all these wins on our record
signaled the end of life as we know it. Glad to be proven wrong! -- Grishort Hurm
P.S. Why aren't you on our team? You should be.
Thiago Arigo -- Listen, you have to start right off! No messing around with fancy
salutes and speeches to the audience. As a better warrior even than myself once
explained it, "You scream and you leap." -- Xaviora Yohl
Kellechi the Dwarf, Persistent Beggar -- If you won't "dishonor your brothers" by
using your real name, then I won't dishonor my sisters by pandering to a worthless
layabout. -- Xaviora Yohl
Partiss, Convicted Thief -- Yeah, sure. -- Grishort Hurm
Shadow -- I wish you wouldn't do that. Or that there were better jobs for strangers
in this town. -- Kadel Merona, stand-in for an Osksi Noble
Aim Reduce Hammer -- You and others like you give elves and half-elves a bad name. --
