                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, SNOWBOUND?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see TONIC win a fight and gain 11 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, GEISTLICH beat 
OLIVER QUEEN and OLIVER QUEEN lost 7 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Looks like 
SNOWBOUND has some guts at least, CRESCENDO the Duelmaster was this turn's 
most-challenged warrior.  GONNIGAN challenged SNOWBOUND's Duelmaster for a shot at 
the throne.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as GONNIGAN takes the Title 
and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  Kickbacks and bribes, 
kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  
Skill?  Ha!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
SNOWBOUND, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  DARQUE THEORY the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like OPEN SESAME avoided 
them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines 
through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     There's got to be a better place in SNOWBOUND to get a drink than The Victory 
Tavern!  Any suggestions?  Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you 
have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
