                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt MURSKA will ever be the same.  And let's see, DEIRDRE fought FRATSFA SLAVE 
and gained 10 points and contributed to CHILDREN OF LLYR's 5-0-0.  And all eyes were 
on BILDIS this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  MURSKA has a new 
victor!  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing 
fighters do dishes at The Howling Wolf 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.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  Is it really true that MURSKA 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.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords 
sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe

Wendigo -- I hate trying to fight from the ground.  Well fought. -- Avery

Lutherax -- Looks like I took a bit more than a flesh wound.  At least there were
some cute healers at the infirmary. -- Quasil

Blocked Driveway -- Maybe next time you'll think twice before blocking my carriage.
-- Varick

Stump -- How's your head feeling? -- Alryn

Miyamoto -- I'll say I learned a decisiveness concept!  I very decisively don't want
to meet YOU again! -- Mossrock

Bartholomew -- What I think is, I think someone should take and drop you into a
bottomless farm pond or something along that line. -- Rock Maple

Alryn -- Heck. -- Stump
P.S.  You want a more interesting personal, you've got to write me one so I have a
starting point, boy.

Varpulis Rukh -- Ah.  You thought perhaps that I was between a rukh and a hard place?
But I can fly, you see, and I did.  I just flew right up out of the way. -- Redbird

Pie Eyed Piper -- But what KIND of pie, that is the question. -- Wind Rider, picky
about pies

Varick & Alryn -- On the contrary, the number of Embezzling Scribes sent to the arena
is an indication of the vigor with which the auditors have been investigating the
Public Scribe Service. -- Arenamaster Landon
P.S.  You didn't think they entered the arena willingly, did you?
