SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in NIATOLI ISLAND this turn, and
let's start with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, GANGPLANK RIDER fought
DOMINION and gained 18 points and contributed to SEA DOGS' 3-2-0. DOMINION has lost
to GANGPLANK RIDER, falling 14 points, while helping make DIVINE HERITAGE a 2-1-0
turn. Defending his title for another turn, BITCHIN' BEAST kept SEA DOGS' warrior,
CRAB SMASHER, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard
from unimpeachable sources that The Don't Drop Inn uses trolls in their stew. Talk
about gristle!
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 most challenged warrior this
turn was SEA DOGS' warrior CRAB SMASHER. More fighters challenged him than
challenged the Duelmaster!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that NIATOLI ISLAND 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 NIATOLI ISLAND and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
