SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in MURSKA this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
CHILDREN OF LLYR is pushed out of top team by THE BEARS, who came from 3rd with a
2-1-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to
drown for CHILDREN OF LLYR, whose 0-5-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 6th. The
PHILANTHROPISTS 3 guild has had a 5-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the
future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, LOCO
fought DALLOW and gained 19 points and contributed to PHILANTHROPISTS 3's 5-0-0.
DALLOW has lost to LOCO, falling 17 points, while helping make CHILDREN OF LLYR a
0-5-0 turn. And not without some honor, HUCKLE CAT now claims the title and throne
of Duelmaster of MURSKA. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at The Fire Dragon Inn?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the THE BEARS stable was the most avoided
team this turn. Come on MURSKA, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided THE
BEARS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was PHILANTHROPISTS. Anyone surprised?
The most challenged warrior this turn was CHILDREN OF LLYR's warrior MORPETH. More
fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? 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. Always good to rest in MURSKA, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in MURSKA again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
