SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in CLIFFHOME this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, NUTCRACKER fought HARI CANE
and gained 12 points and contributed to ALL FINESSE's 3-1-0. HARI CANE has lost to
NUTCRACKER, falling 9 points, while helping make JINDA-BAN a 1-4-0 turn. This turn
FIDDLESTICKS challenged 2 + 2 = 4 in what was CLIFFHOME's Title bout. Defending his
title for another turn, FIDDLESTICKS kept JUST BECAUSE's warrior, 2 + 2 = 4, from
claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable
sources that The Choking Ogre uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the JINDA-BAN stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on CLIFFHOME, what are you afraid of? And
avoiding JINDA-BAN more than any other team we find TACTICAL NUKES. CLIFFHOME, are
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was JINDA-BAN's warrior DINGIL BILL. 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. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in CLIFFHOME, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
