SPY REPORT
Hail ZENSU! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as BEYOND THE PALE is pushed
out of top team by NEUROMANCERS, who came from 2nd with a 2-1-0 this turn. And let's
see, SPIRITED fought O. POSTE and gained 12 points and contributed to RELIGIOUS
HERALD's 1-0-0. JENIPHER has lost to BLADE MASTER, falling 3 points, while helping
make BEYOND THE PALE a 0-3-0 turn. Defending his title for another turn, TRIANGLE
MAN kept BEYOND THE PALE's warrior, BLONDE GRENADE, from claiming the throne. Tell
me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Victory
Tavern uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the
NEUROMANCERS stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ZENSU, what are you
afraid of? And guess who avoided NEUROMANCERS stable the most? Believe it or not,
it was RELIGIOUS HERALD. 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. WHITE NOISE has departed ZENSU,
leaving NEUROMANCERS without their 4-4-1 warrior. Question, just what was hers team
doing at the taverns last night? Is it really true that ZENSU has more dishwashers
per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, ZENSU, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in ZENSU, 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-- Alarond the Scribe
