SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon TRICORUS, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! DARK HORSEMEN posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd.
Everybody loves a winner... FRUITS had cause to celebrate, after ORANGE got 20
points by beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE. HAROCH certainly had a baffled expression on
his face, after losing to RAZOR WYRM and losing 9 points in the process! The arena
was more crowded than usual this time, as FRANCINE faced TRICORUS' Duelmaster. REAP
THE FIELD successfully staved off a grab for the roses by FRANCINE of AMAZON ELITE.
Does TRICORUS have no one talented enough to dethrone him? Word has it one team in
TRICORUS is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet
it works.
And how sociable are TRICORUS' warriors? Come, let us see. Is it charming
personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, FRANCINE
is the most challenged warrior. My love of complete Spyreports dictates that I note
the mismatched fight, GARGANTUAN APHID and POLAR WORM. Are SORROW'S HARVEST
unwilling to engage in a fair fight? I thought GARGANTUAN APHID showed great skill
and promise when it defeated POLAR WORM. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Those who owe
CRYMAGNSTATURE of SORROW'S HARVEST money and had written it off, take note: it'S
BACK FROM THE DARK ARENA!!! AND it'S MAD!!! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he
will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in TRICORUS is the highlight of my life. Keep those
sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I
now bid TRICORUS farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
The last Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse was one of the closest and most exciting
contests ever held in Alastari. Such an epic demands a sequel. Therefore, Master
Darque and Jack Wolfspider are pleased to announce the return of the Stormcrowe
Slaughterhouse.
Where? Stormcrowe DM 45 (slow). When? The Slaughterhouse returns on Turn 207,
due August 19. How can you get into the action? Bring a team (one per entrant
please) to arena 45 and announce your intention to join the contest in the Personals.
Rules: This time around the rules are very simple. Each warrior win against a
higher rated opponent (one or more points higher in the ratings) brings you 10
points, against even rated opponent 7 points, lower rated 5 points. Wins against
NPCs or by a warrior who downchallenges are worth 0 points. Points are doubled for
kills. All warriors in the arena whether participating in the Slaughterhouse or not
are fair game. Points are totaled weekly, and the contestant whose team has racked
up the most points at the end of 10 turns is declared Slaughterhouse Champion.
Prizes: To be announced; we're still talking with RSI about it. Figure it will
be something pretty good. But hey, who needs prizes when the honor of being
Slaughterhouse Champion awaits!
More info: Master Darque, MasterDarqueDM@aol.com, or Jack Wolfspider,
russtulp@aol.com. Or diplo Darque Forces (428) or Dynastic (433) in Arena 45.
