SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt ALJAFIR will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as MIDDLE WAY is pushed out of top team by MINOR THREAT, who came from
2nd with a 3-1-0 this turn. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne,
LIMA BEAN EXPRESS has lost the title of Duelmaster. We should ask BRADLEY 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 Vile Vizier 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. Well, sports fans, take notice
that HANNABLE from THE GENERALS was ALJAFIR's most challenged warrior this turn. In
a brave attempt, MICK from MINOR THREAT challenged up 22 points to fight HANNABLE
from the THE GENERALS stable. MICK perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he
subdued HANNABLE and ended up with 52 recognition points.
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. Is it really true that ALJAFIR has
more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, ALJAFIR, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in ALJAFIR, 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
The Middle Way -- First we apologize. Second we didn't think that that was even
possible. We kill Ialgo, our comrade growing along with us. It wasn't a bloodfeud
but a 'we are going to challenge you anyway so as not to fight convicted thief or
whoever so we might as well just use the bloodfeud' bloodfeud. We are not certain
that you bother to bloodfeud yourself as we have seen you let them pass. We would be
honored to fend off your attempts at vengeance and besides who else are you going to
fight. I hope you were blessed on the new recruit. -- Minor Threat
Gladiators at large -- May I please have a match-up with embezzling Scribe or
something of the like. -- Dr. Dodge
Bologna Cheese -- That would be worth repeating a few times if the skills were
acceptable no matter the outcome. Great fun. -- El Cid
Seldom Knosh -- Some people have recommended nothing other than regular old yellow
mustard (just a touch). I have been told the same about cumin seeds with warm water
before the meal. I hope your dyspepsia is not too distracting. Perhaps you would
prefer something that goes down a little easier such as our comrade Dr. Dodge. -- El
Cid
Greg -- Eh. I guess that settles YOUR team's bloodfeud, and proves, as well, that
you are not a MINOR threat. Ouch. -- Ialgo Jahn
P.S. And also proves, again, Jorja's often-stated observation that the thing aimed
blows do most reliably is die. She calls me "unremarkable" at 9-11-19-13-10-7-15,
but I am, or WAS remarkably charismatic. Even the Commission noticed.
P.P.S. Curse the woman, she says my replacement is "much better." I turned out
faithfully and fought and DIED, and she talks about someone else being MUCH BETTER?
Gods, I'm well out of this.
Lima Bean Express -- Horrid thought. -- Zebd Arvin
P.S. Did you know that some lima bean cultivars can be poisonous if eaten?
P.P.S. Ah, if eaten in quantity, I suppose.
Dr Dodge -- Did you HEAR those fans whistling? And it doesn't even matter what we're
really shaped like, so long as our armor is full of "feminine curves." Very strange,
the male mind. -- Alida Bern
P.S. Or maybe I should say, "the human mind"?
Elcid -- Ah, well, for three skills, I'm not going to complain. Actually, I wasn't
going to complain anyway. Jorja's been on at us all about "whining." Must be some
other team that set her off, we're just models of good cheer. -- Bellona Chist
The Convicted Thief said he is "just an apprentice," and at this rate, he'll never
make journeyman. -- Senlum Nosh
