SPY REPORT
Hail LAPUR! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as TREKKERS is pushed out of
top team by MID EARTH, who came from 5th with a 4-1-0 this turn. Now keep the
taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for TREKKERS, whose 0-3-0
this turn dropped them by 4 into 5th. MID EARTH stable has parlayed this turn's
4-1-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good
work, guys! The STREET WALKERS 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,
MOTHIAS fought MILEY VIRUS and gained 22 points and contributed to MID EARTH's 4-1-0.
Well done, LAPUR, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps
NERO is not as thrilled, being challenged 5 times. WENIEN challenged for the
Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone TREKKERS' warrior. And all eyes
were on WENIEN this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. LAPUR has a new
victor! Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing
fighters do dishes at The Burning Tree until they win. Maybe?
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 BLACK SAMURAI stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on LAPUR, what are you afraid of? And
avoiding BLACK SAMURAI more than any other team we find METAL MINCERS. LAPUR, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? In a brave attempt, BROADZILLA from
STREET WALKERS challenged up 18 points to fight STEEL SHARPENER from the METAL
MINCERS stable. BROADZILLA perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she bested
STEEL SHARPENER and ended up with 92 recognition points.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. You gotta do what you gotta do. BLACK SAMURAI has sent SEIDAI to the Dark
Arena. The deed is done. Lift the ale, and toast the memory. Is it really true
that LAPUR has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, LAPUR, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in LAPUR and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in LAPUR again, farewell--

P.S. I may be a cyborg, but I DO like a lot in my women!
Hey! Did you see that! The BOB got bigger. Hmm. I can see that the additions

powerful thing, you know? -- Ora (in a surprisingly thoughtful moment)
Capt Antsy Pants -- Hmm, a glass sword... sounds magical. -- Claybank
Broadzilla -- Soothe me, okay? I need it. -- Claybank
