                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ZORPUNT 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, GOLD fought THE 
USEROUS MERCHANT and gained 7 points and contributed to CRAYOLAS' 3-1-1.  Due to his 
absence and inability to defend the throne, TRAGIC DRAMATIST has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  We should ask BROWN about the thrill of victory, and what being the new 
Duelmaster does for a warrior, it's now the one to ask.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  
I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dripping Blade 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 SILVER BLADES stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ZORPUNT, what are you afraid of?  And 
guess who avoided SILVER BLADES stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was CRAYOLAS. 
Anyone surprised?   
     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.  I wish to point out for CRAYOLAS 
that there is but a single turn before JOYLESS DAYS and their warrior, TRAGIC 
DRAMATIST, will get away with killing GREEN.  Is it really true that ZORPUNT has more 
dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ZORPUNT and I've a long road ahead of 
me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the 
Scribe
