                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail SNOWBOUND!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as SIGMA NU'S is pushed 
out of top team by OPEN SESAME, who came from 2nd with a 2-1-0 this turn.  And let's 
see, BIG BIRD fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 20 points and contributed to OPEN 
SESAME's 2-1-0.  WORD ON THE STREET has lost to JANICE KOLE, falling 8 points, while 
helping make OPEN SESAME a 2-1-0 turn.  This week's Duelmaster bout was between ICE 
TRAPPER and our Duelmaster RARE BREED, making a Dark Arena Challenge.  The attempts 
to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and RARE BREED remains SNOWBOUND's top 
warrior for another turn.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team 
makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  SIGMA NU'S has cause to stand tall, as they were SNOWBOUND's 
most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And guess who 
avoided SIGMA NU'S stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was OPEN SESAME.  Anyone 
surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that JANICE KOLE from MIDDLE WAY 6 was 
SNOWBOUND's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Had I not seen it, it would be hard to believe.  RARE BREED was sent 
to the Dark Arena and lived to tell about it!  Makes you think, no?  A brave warrior 
does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  
Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in SNOWBOUND, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in SNOWBOUND again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
