                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ARDIVENT brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, BLUVALLEY WARRIORS, 
since FANDILS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Gee, I'm 
impressed, a 5-0-1 is nice, but don't get cocky, DEATHTONGUE, the Fates teach 
humility, and the Fates are proud.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see 
OLIVER win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, W. D. PURDY beat MARCI 
FOOTE and MARCI FOOTE lost 9 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and 
inability to defend the throne, ANCHORMAN has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start 
setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as OLIVER 
takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The 
Seaside Manor, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this 
stuff?  From ARDIVENT's trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  
ARDIVENT, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  LEGION OF STEEL the most 
avoided team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this 
mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was FANDILS.  Ha ha ha ha! 
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but 
I'll be glad to see FRAN BRAN and DEATHTONGUE at The Seaside Manor tonight 
celebrating their bloodfeud victory over KATERINA COLLIN.  Honor is like a chainmail 
shirt, it only shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me 
on this one.   
     What does the ARDIVENT arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Glad 
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens
