SPY REPORT
Hail ALJAFIR! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as GLADIATORS is pushed out of
top team by MIDDLE WAY, who came from 3rd with a 2-3-0 this turn. And let's see,
ROBERT FROST fought BRADLEY and gained 15 points and contributed to DEAD POETS'
2-3-0. BRADLEY has lost to ROBERT FROST, falling 6 points, while helping make THE
GENERALS a 2-1-1 turn. And all eyes were on GRISHORT HURM this turn as he ascended
to the throne of Duelmaster. ALJAFIR has a new victor! Tell me, is nothing sacred?
I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Vile Vizier 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. I also notice that the GLADIATORS stable was
the most avoided team this turn. Come on ALJAFIR, what are you afraid of? And guess
who avoided GLADIATORS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was FIELDS OF ELYSIUM.
Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that GRISHORT HURM from MIDDLE WAY
was ALJAFIR's most challenged warrior this turn.
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. FIELDS OF ELYSIUM made what looks
to be a tough decision this turn, as they sent SAPHRONICUS, with a record of 15-3-0,
to SAPHRONICUS death. Farewell, his. This is not good to see. Why pray tell has
SAPHRONICUS been sent to the Dark Arena by FIELDS OF ELYSIUM? And why with a 15-3-0
record?? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, ALJAFIR, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

Well, I didn't. Now I'm back to befuddle and frustrate you with my senseless
