SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ZENSU? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, BOTCHED & BUNGLED, since
BEYOND THE PALE took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see MARIELLA TREE win a fight and gain 21 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, JOZEF ROSS beat TOM FRIEND and TOM FRIEND lost 11 points.
You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, ZENSU may be getting
bland, as KYLROI stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but
why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, ZENSU?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's
the big D? BEYOND THE PALE was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered...
grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?
Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was GRIZZLED VETERANS. Ha ha ha ha! VINCENT was
challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or
feared? Heh, heh.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ZENSU's
morgue. More variety. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate
catches up with you sooner that later?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide

Tom -- So do I. Come back and I'll show you more sword games. -- Silistrin, Highest
Elf of Zensu
Two-three, as usual, wins over standbys, losses to managed gladiators. We may not do
so well against these dedicated (and boring!) gladiators, though we can dance with
the best on a proper dancing floor, but we did some SERIOUS damage to the Khalhums
Dwarf. -- Nina Stenn
And I did not like it. -- Stilbo Steeleye, Khalhums Dwarf

JASPER GULCH: DM 85
Zeb Karan around the big table. Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and
stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and
infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like
this, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
"So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they
closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?"
"Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary.
There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're
too full of team records."
"Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested.
Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the
arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave.
"We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested.
"We can't burn RECORDS."
"I could," Rinvar said.
"But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its
own sake, Jame."
Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew."
"When are they shutting down Blackstone?"
"To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers
want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel
from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this
week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can
recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of
enquiry around the room.
"Jasper Gulch," a steward said.
"Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably
'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be
transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT."
Voth nodded. "We can work with this."
"Beats not working."
