SPY REPORT
Good day, in RODEKI 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 COLOR ME SUAVE is pushed out of top team by DELVERS, who came from 2nd
with a 3-0-0 this turn. And let's see, MIST fought WHY DO YOU ASK ME and gained 15
points and contributed to FACELESS FACTORS' 4-1-0. CO has lost to FELLERMAN, falling
9 points, while helping make FACELESS FACTORS a 4-1-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone
the Duelmaster have failed, and HARD KNOCKS remains RODEKI's top warrior for another
turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the
table at The Warty Toad?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? A farewell moment, if you please, HAIRBRUSH of I CAN'T BRUSH YOU has
been sent to the Dark Arena, and was carried out on its shield. Is it really true
that RODEKI 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. Well, I'm burning daylight here in RODEKI and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

PERSONAL ADS
Hard Knocks -- I suppose I had no choice but to let you win that one. We have little
enough to be proud of here in Rodeki, but at least our Duelmaster can take the title
on a win. Wear it well. -- Faroman
Tantrum Yoga -- Gotta love it, even if it means losing. I'm watching every minute,
see, and one of these days *I* will be a master of Tantrum Yoga. -- Fellerman
I'd laugh at the Venomous Concubine, but I'm feeling generous. She couldn't help
being devastated by me. I'm like that. -- Rockhog the Devastating
Toothbrush -- Dammit, I don't HAVE tooths, I have tines. I don't NEED a toothbrush,
okay? Back off. -- Damon Shovell
Comb -- Shave and a haircut, six bits! -- Gastaigne
P.S. Although it actually costs a lot more these days.
