SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt SNOWBOUND will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as MESOPOTAMIA is pushed out of top team by BASH BROS SPORTS, who came
from 2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn. The BOOK OF THOMAS guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and
deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can
lead. On their very first turn, GOT BLOOD? had a 4-1-0, and with this kind of luck
or skill, should do well. Welcome to SNOWBOUND. And let's see, WHITER SHADE fought
DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and gained 16 points and contributed to BOOK OF THOMAS' 4-1-0.
REGULAR SEASON has lost to KHALHUMS DWARF, falling 4 points, while helping make BASH
BROS SPORTS a 4-1-0 turn. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne,
BONESCRAPER has lost the title of Duelmaster. We should ask COLD WEATHER about the
thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the
one to ask. 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 MESOPOTAMIA stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on SNOWBOUND, what are you afraid of? And guess who
avoided MESOPOTAMIA stable the most? Believe it or not, it was BASH BROS SPORTS.
Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that SLUSHY ICE from BASH BROS
SPORTS was SNOWBOUND's most challenged warrior this turn.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Kudos go out to SLUSHY ICE this turn, for revenging BASH BROS SPORTS'
bloodfeud against BOOK OF THOMAS' warrior DISTURBIA. Well done. 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. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in SNOWBOUND again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PAYMENTS BY CHECK AND MONEY ORDER -- CHANGE
Please note that because of new bank regulations, we can no longer accept any check or
money order drawn off a non-US bank, even if it is in US Funds. We were just informed

Many apologies to our foreign players, but you will need to either get a check from a
US bank (Chase, Citigroup, etc.) or pay via credit card.
Armsilbar liked being Master of the Stronghold Academy, all except for one part.
He had to talk to Sheila Greywand at least once a week, usually oftener. She was
getting more erratic. More chaotic. That would be the effect of the Grey Wand. It
was a powerful chaotic artifact, and she kept it with her always. She had turned his
predecessor into a frog--or 164 frogs--and then summoned all the members of the
Academy to a frog-leg dinner. That had been, ah, bad. Yes, very bad.
But here he was entering her chambers. With, well, it couldn't be called GOOD
news. And the look she turned on him--she was in an orcish mood today, all scowling
black brows and bared fangs--that made him nervous. But some things had to be done.
He cleared his throat, which seemed to have a frog in it, and said, "It's about the
next tourney prize, Lady. I know it's more than two months away, but this isn't too
soon to start thinking of some new, exciting prize--"
"I have no intention of thinking about 'new, exciting prizes'," she snapped. Or
was that a snarl? "These managers are getting above themselves. They act like I
created the arena system for their amusement! There will be one standard prize for
all the tourneys. Just one."
He had a horrible vision of all the managers walking out in a mass. Perhaps it
wouldn't be that bad, but it wouldn't be good. And if he said the wrong thing, well,
the next frog-leg dinner might be him. "Er, ah, perhaps a specific prize for each
tourney--a spring prize, a summer prize, and so on? The managers expect--"
She exploded. A literal explosion, the force of the blast blew his hair off.
She said several things in an obsolete dialect of orcish. He stepped backward, then
again. The blast had blown the door open behind him. If he could make it out before
something else happened--
"Ribbit! Ribbit!"
