                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in SOLVEN a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  And let's see, 365 GTB4 fought 
KIDNERGUARDIAN and gained 16 points and contributed to HOT WHEELS' 1-0-0.  
KIDNERGUARDIAN has lost to 365 GTB4, falling 11 points, while helping make KELLUMBO'S 
KIDS a 0-4-0 turn.  Well done, SOLVEN, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged 
warrior.  Perhaps TASHELL is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times.  BILBRAY 
challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone KELLUMBO'S KIDS' 
warrior.  And all eyes were on BILBRAY this turn as he ascended to the throne of 
Duelmaster.  SOLVEN has a new victor!  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw 
last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  THE REPUBLICANS has cause to stand 
tall, as they were SOLVEN's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team 
to beat.  And guess who avoided THE REPUBLICANS stable the most?  Believe it or not, 
it was KELLUMBO'S KIDS.  Anyone surprised?  Well now, what do you expect when someone 
like NAFISAH from KELLUMBO'S KIDS challenges down 22 points to fight CHUCKER ISTTA of 
MIDDLE WAY 15?  Well, it only serves justice to see that NAFISAH was overcame by 
CHUCKER ISTTA.  Heh, heh.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  EXECRATOR must have surprised WILD OATS this turn, after they sent her to 
the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't hold her!  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 SOLVEN, 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

Kidnerguardian -- I could just TELL that somebody needed to smack you upside the head
and make you BEHAVE, and nobody ELSE was doing it, so... I did. -- Belissa Hough

Trump -- Too loud and brassy. -- Edgiles Kapp

That darned Merchant again.  And Dolby's right, he isn't honest.  No way. -- Chucker
Istta

Nafisah -- Spirited little thing, aren't you? -- Dolby Jossel

McCain -- Well, you sure raised McCain with my record. -- Forbran Leuw

and Nick in the Delarquan ones, but I'm thinking of just being Jorja everywhere.
Simpler. -- Jorja, the Middle Way
P.S.  You once gave me good advice on running a ripper, and it served me well.
Thanks.
