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. It seems the training can make the
difference, as BASH BROS CHILDREN is pushed out of top team by JINDA-BAN, who came
from 3rd with a 3-2-0 this turn. And let's see, JELLY BELLY fought TACOS and gained
15 points and contributed to SHEWISH CANDY's 1-0-0. BEDTIME has lost to SHOTS,
falling 12 points, while helping make BASH BROS CHILDREN a 2-2-0 turn. Due to his
absence and inability to defend the throne, ARGONATH has lost the title of
Duelmaster. And not without some honor, TALKS NONSTOP now claims the title and
throne of Duelmaster of CLIFFHOME. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the
top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Choking Ogre until they win.
Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. PILLAR OF KINGS has cause to stand tall, as they were
CLIFFHOME's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And
guess who avoided PILLAR OF KINGS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was BASH
BROS CHILDREN. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was
JINDA-BAN's warrior VORONSAL MAUR. More fighters challenged him 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.
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 you see my quill in CLIFFHOME again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Argonath -- That was one impressive display of fighting. I feel honored to have
shared the arena with you. You are a fine example of what I hope to become, a well
rounded gladiator who can win in ways unexpected for one of my style. Alas, I will
have to keep on trying because you have arrived at that point and I have not. I
might be able to beat the Jinda-Ban guys, but you are too tough for me. Well done, I
want to be like you! -- Talks Nonstop
Korgendal Fars -- Wow, your victory definitely made me feel sick. -- Sick Days
Enoch -- And many people say that I stink! -- Dirty Diapers
Nilismarin Salm -- You could hurt someone with that weapon. -- Bedtime
We salute the tourney participants, and add a cheer for Bob, Eternal, Champion of
Primus. We recall him as a pain in the but to duel with back in the day here, too.
Good work, Bob. -- Jorja and Jinda-van
Sick Days -- Ah, you see how it is? Last time, I *was* sick. It was all I could do
to stay on my feet till you hit me. But I went on a mega-vitamin regimen, and it
seems to have helped. -- Korgendal Fars
Bedtime -- If I want to stay up all night, I *will*. -- Nilismarin Salm
Ah, the Mercenary. Gotta love him. In a manner of speaking. -- Voronsal Maur
Jelly Belly -- I have SUCH a tummy-ache! I don't see why you had to kick me there,
just because I asked you to do the "ho ho ho" thing. -- Mendarlin Voro
P.S. And my teammates are all frowning at me because I got our only loss. I think
they're going to make me do the dishes.
X's -- Oh, I dunno, a lot of ekses might be useful if one was drawing a simple
border. -- Soldillia Vro, calligrapher
