SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in TRICORUS this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, ENDLESS WATCH fought VENEMOUS
CONCUBINE and gained 11 points and contributed to RAISING R'LYEH's 2-3-1. CUSTARD
PIE has lost to PHAEDRA, falling 9 points, while helping make DAZED N CONFUSED a
1-4-0 turn. Well done, TRICORUS, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Perhaps JACINTHE is not as thrilled, being challenged 4 times. DARK RIVER
challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone AMAZON ELITE's
warrior. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and JACINTHE remains
TRICORUS' top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard
from unimpeachable sources that The Blue Dolphin Inn 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 RAISING R'LYEH stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on TRICORUS, what are you afraid of? And avoiding
RAISING R'LYEH more than any other team we find BLACK CONVENTICLE. TRICORUS, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Tsk, tsk, tsk. FEAR OF THE DARK,
does your manager know you're challenging down 18 points to fight WHOLE LOTTA LUV
from DAZED N CONFUSED? Well, will you look at this, FEAR OF THE DARK was overcame by
WHOLE LOTTA LUV, and RAISING R'LYEH will have to explain why they made such a
challenge in the first place. I don't know about you, but KASHMIR challenging down
18 points to BLACK CONVENTICLE's DEATH GOES ON, is not really worthy of DAZED N
CONFUSED. Well, it only serves justice to see that KASHMIR lost to DEATH GOES ON.
Heh, heh.
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. 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 TRICORUS, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in TRICORUS again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
