SPY REPORT
Good day, in STORMCROWE 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 AVID FANS is pushed out of top team by DARQUE FORCES, who
came from 3rd with a 4-1-0 this turn. The SHEWISH BUFFET guild has had a 3-1-0 turn
and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing
can lead. And let's see, SCANDAL SAVAGE fought PERSISTENT BEGGAR and gained 15
points and contributed to DARQUE FORCES' 4-1-0. BENEZIA has lost to ERMINE, falling
15 points, while helping make DARQUE FORCES a 4-1-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone
the Duelmaster have failed, and LAPUR BISQUE remains STORMCROWE's top warrior for
another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources
that The Shadow's Fountain uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. NORTHERN LIGHTS has cause to stand tall, as
they were STORMCROWE's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And avoiding NORTHERN LIGHTS more than any other team we find DESOLATE ONES.
STORMCROWE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most
challenged warrior this turn was AVID FANS' warrior AN ARENA DOCTOR. 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. Congratulations go out to DARQUE FORCES, with BELLDANDY revenging a
bloodfeud against AN ARENA DOCTOR of AVID FANS. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
I like this place, STORMCROWE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in STORMCROWE, 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

Angel Cake -- Your skill is above me. Thank you for the skills you taught. You're
also my favorite. -- Fire Hawk
Convicted Thief -- You're no match for a small shield. -- Toker
Dangerous Criminal -- Ugghh! -- C.F.H.
Lapur Bisque -- Your roll under my attack looked good, but, you did not help in
teaching me. Good fight... until we meet again. -- Goat

Greeting to all managers in Stormecrowe, I remember when I first stared managing a
team in Northfork. I happened to get involved during a Turf War contest. The number
of teams involved was amazing; a Turf War would be nice! -- Goat
They're gearing up for another one.
Janitor and Talent Scout -- Managers are so demanding, aren't they? But retirement
is good. -- Aurora Marie, happily retired
Talent Scout -- Probably you need new glasses. What *I* see is Darque Forces and
Shewish Buffet setting up a monopoly on the title. Or would that be a biopoly? --
Ermine
P.S. But thanks for the compliment.
We salute the mail-in tourney participants. -- Jorja and the Northern Lights
Assassins, ha! I would say that I "eat them for breakfast," but that would be a lie.
I like a breakfast with more substance. -- Ermine
Benezia -- Yep, you're headed up there to pig out on Lapur Bisque, aren't you? --
Glitrina
Caer Salad -- Very strange dressing. -- the Winter Queen
Abraxis -- Why so desolate? This is not the season for desolation. -- Seal Dancer
Kormar -- It might have been "handy" for YOU, but it does not fit into my Master
Plan. -- Snowbird
