SPY REPORT
Good day, in MORYA a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So
bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as BIG LAKE PURE is pushed out of top team by DIZNEE, who came from 3rd
with a 4-1-0 this turn. The LUNAE MILITES guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to
be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And
let's see, PULLED MUSCLE fought M. CHARDINEE and gained 16 points and contributed to
BASH BROS BODY's 3-1-0. VISGER MENTL has lost to DOT, falling 11 points, while
helping make BIG LAKE PURE a 1-4-0 turn. And all eyes were on SPINE EATER this turn
as she ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. MORYA has a new victor! By the way,
was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at Arthur's
Last Stand?
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 BIG LAKE PURE stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on MORYA, what are you afraid of? And
guess who avoided BIG LAKE PURE stable the most? Believe it or not, it was OTTO'S
MECHANICS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was BIG LAKE
PURE's warrior REALITY STIMULATION. More fighters challenged her than challenged the
Duelmaster! I don't know about you, but ROSE PURITY challenging down 20 points to
LUNAE MILITES' KEITH MOON, is not really worthy of BIG LAKE PURE. It pains me to see
warriors take advantage of the system like this. ROSE PURITY defeated KEITH MOON, as
if it surprises anyone. In a brave attempt, THE VIBE from BIG LAKE PURE challenged
up 20 points to fight CAL LIPPER from the OTTO'S MECHANICS stable. THE VIBE perhaps
got his just desserts, seeing as he was bested by CAL LIPPER and ended up with 66
recognition points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their
enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, MORYA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in MORYA and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in MORYA again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
These personals are late, but we're sending them anyway to salute the personals of
team Lunae Militae. Writing should always be encouraged. -- Jorja, Dodge Bullets
Our congratulations to Blue Moon. We would care if you died. -- Dodge Bullets
Axle Foley -- You should have heeded the warning and stayed in out of the rain. It's
raining even as I write these words. -- Storm Warning
Hal O'Gen -- (crossly) You could teach better. Show me the light! -- Myron Mei
Reality Stimulation -- My thanks for the skills, but you're more stimulating than a
big pot of coffee. -- Dale Autry, more of a laid-back guy
Harvest Moon -- Wrong Season. -- Lately (but not that late) Stone
Yakko -- It would have been better if you'd been quieter out there. -- Sturdevant
For the Cincy FtF, Mannequin/Crip are organizing a visit to the Great American Ball
Park on the Friday night (16 Jul, 7:10 start time) to watch the Reds/Brewers game. If
interested, please contact Crip through gwerner - @ - twcny dot rr dot com. Because
of Covid, tickets are being sold in specific pods, so if 8 people want to go, we may
have to sit in two different groups. Please respond by 1 May if interested so we can
pre-purchase the tickets. -- Crip & Mannequin
Axle Foley -- I believe you've got a broken axle there. Need to get that fixed. --
Myron Mei, nearly gloating
Dot -- Well attempted, young lady. I would not have attacked such an attractive ankle
if I'd had a better alternative. -- Dale Autry
Yakko -- Fairly won, sir. But I want to take this chance to protest the steward
saying that I was "casually flipping a dagger." A dagger is a dangerous weapon, and I
would not play with it casually. -- Lately Stone
Maleficent -- You're a nasty wench. -- Storm Warning, prepared to rain on your parade
Misty Moonglow -- Never count on insurance. Insurance agents LIE. -- Sturdevant
Harvest Moon -- I survived, so no problem. -- Lately Stone
