SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in LAPUR this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. The SHADOWMIST 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, SUMIRE fought HAMBONE and gained 16 points and contributed to
BLACK SAMURAI's 1-1-0. JAYLA has lost to DANCING CAT, falling 14 points, while
helping make SHADOWMIST a 3-1-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have
failed, and CALYPSO remains LAPUR's top warrior for another turn. Can someone
confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at
The Warty Toad until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. TREKKERS has cause to stand tall, as they were LAPUR's most
avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding TREKKERS
more than any other team we find BLACK SAMURAI. LAPUR, are we going to accept, or
respect this sort of thing?
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? I guess it was coming sooner or later, CARDOW HUNTERS has lost
SNOWFLAKE, and LAPUR is bound to miss her. For a little while, at least.
Congratulations go out to CARDOW HUNTERS, with DANCING CAT revenging a bloodfeud
against JAYLA of SHADOWMIST. 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. 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--
