SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt SNOWBOUND will ever be the same. And let's see, INGLEMORT JULS fought
KHALHUMS DWARF and gained 13 points and contributed to MIDDLE WAY 6's 2-3-0. CASS
DOLAN has lost to HOOPS, falling 5 points, while helping make MIDDLE WAY 6 a 2-3-0
turn. And all eyes were on EXTRUSION this turn as it ascended to the throne of
Duelmaster. SNOWBOUND has a new victor! Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard
from unimpeachable sources that The Victory Tavern uses trolls in their stew. Talk
about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the MIDDLE WAY 6 stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on SNOWBOUND, what are you afraid of? And guess who
avoided MIDDLE WAY 6 stable the most? Believe it or not, it was LIFE IMPACTS.
Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was MIDDLE WAY 6's warrior
PETRA QUORD. More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster! MRS.
VAUGHN of LIFE IMPACTS had better have a good reason for challenging down 9 points in
a challenge which she won. I thought MRS. VAUGHN showed great skill and promise when
she beat PETRA QUORD. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
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. Is it really true that SNOWBOUND
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 SNOWBOUND and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
Alarond the Scribe
