                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in JHANS a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  So 
bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as MIDDLE WAY 17 is pushed out of top team by ACT OF MALICE, who came 
from 3rd with a 2-1-1 this turn.  And let's see, MORNGRIM THORTH fought CHAENY GROVE 
and gained 22 points and contributed to ACT OF MALICE's 2-1-1.  Due to hers absence 
and inability to defend the throne, KYRA has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And not 
without some honor, MORNGRIM THORTH now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of 
JHANS.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that 
Lucas Lounge uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  BABES has cause to stand tall, as they were 
JHANS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And guess 
who avoided BABES stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was ACT OF MALICE.  Anyone 
surprised?   
     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.  MIDDLE WAY 17 has lost CHAENY GROVE 
to the arena in the sky, but they don't seem to be worried.  What do you expect from 
9-10-0?  Is it really true that JHANS has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  
Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in JHANS, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in JHANS again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Kyra -- How do you expect me to play the guitar with those injuries?  I'll be hard
put to it to play even a set of spoons, and I've got a gig coming up. -- Chaeny Grove

Morngrim Thorth -- That was indeed an amazing act of malice!  You should know that
you're never supposed to shake the wine.  Even after I've drunk it. -- Abalond Egran

Distort -- I guess that was inevitable.  My granny always told me not to rush the
sewing jobs, and I did, and now the pattern's all crooked and I'll have to pick it

out and do it over. -- Ellirin Imbray
P.S.  She always said "If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when
will you have time to do it over?"  An aggravating woman.

The Ambitious Guard is a washout. -- Carlin Granz

Jill -- Hey, it wasn't me that broke your crown!  I never touched the darned thing.
-- Eddie Incher

     If there were supposed to be more personals here, our apologies.  Hal spent a
     night on the tiles, and we're still trying to catch up with the mail.  They
     should, well, they might appear next time.
