                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in FRATSFA a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as ISN'T IT OBVIOUS is pushed out of top team by INCARNATIONS, who came 
from 2nd with a 4-0-1 this turn.  And let's see, WESLAYFORFUN fought ARMSMAN and 
gained 23 points and contributed to ISN'T IT OBVIOUS' 1-4-0.  ARMSMAN has lost to 
WESLAYFORFUN, falling 16 points, while helping make IRON CATHEDRAL a 2-3-0 turn.  
Defending his title for another turn, WARRIOR X kept FRATSFA's warrior, KHALHUMS 
DWARF, from claiming the throne.  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?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  I also notice that the WEATHER 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on FRATSFA, what are you afraid of? 
And guess who avoided WEATHER stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was IRON 
CATHEDRAL.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was ISN'T IT 
OBVIOUS' warrior SLAYINGDEISFUN.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the 
Duelmaster!  I don't know about you, but TEMPER challenging down 24 points to ISN'T 
IT OBVIOUS' SLAYINGDEISFUN, is not really worthy of IRON CATHEDRAL.  I thought 
challenges were for warriors, not cowards looking for easy wins.  TEMPER subdued 
SLAYINGDEISFUN, is nothing sacred?  Well now, what do you expect when someone like 
MALICE from IRON CATHEDRAL challenges down 31 points to fight SLEET of WEATHER?  
Well, will you look at this, MALICE was overcame by SLEET, and IRON CATHEDRAL will 
have to explain why they made such a challenge in the first place.  In a brave 
attempt, MIST from WEATHER challenged up 21 points to fight MERLIN from the COURTS OF 
CHAOS stable.  MIST perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she was overcame by 
MERLIN and ended up with 34 recognition points.   
     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.  You gotta do what you gotta do.  
IRON CATHEDRAL has sent VICAR GENERAL to the Dark Arena.  The deed is done.  Lift the 
ale, and toast the memory.  Whatever bright future HERMIT CRONE may have had, it's 
all history now.  The manager of FOREST WARD has lost a promising 3-0-0 warrior.  A 
brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the 
fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, FRATSFA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in FRATSFA, but never good to wear out 
my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets 
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
