SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, FRATSFA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-1 is nice, but
don't get cocky, AMBER, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of
course, we're all terribly impressed to see BLEYS win a fight and gain 24 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, BROKEN HEART beat BLADED ZEALOT and BLADED ZEALOT lost 16
points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, FRATSFA may
be getting bland, as TEMPER stays top dog in the city. The Victory Tavern, humph!
I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From FRATSFA's
trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
FRATSFA, I am losing what little hope I had in you. INCARNATIONS the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like IRON CATHEDRAL
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph. ANUBIS was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the
DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. INCARNATIONS has cause to pause today, as NIOBE was
sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager.
We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you
sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in FRATSFA to get a drink than The Victory
Tavern! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city
of FRATSFA. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide

Armsilbar liked being Master of the Stronghold Academy, all except for one part.
He had to talk to Sheila Greywand at least once a week, usually oftener. She was
getting more erratic. More chaotic. That would be the effect of the Grey Wand. It
was a powerful chaotic artifact, and she kept it with her always. She had turned his
predecessor into a frog--or 164 frogs--and then summoned all the members of the
Academy to a frog-leg dinner. That had been, ah, bad. Yes, very bad.
But here he was entering her chambers. With, well, it couldn't be called GOOD
news. And the look she turned on him--she was in an orcish mood today, all scowling
black brows and bared fangs--that made him nervous. But some things had to be done.
He cleared his throat, which seemed to have a frog in it, and said, "It's about the
next tourney prize, Lady. I know it's more than two months away, but this isn't too
soon to start thinking of some new, exciting prize--"
"I have no intention of thinking about 'new, exciting prizes'," she snapped. Or
was that a snarl? "These managers are getting above themselves. They act like I
created the arena system for their amusement! There will be one standard prize for
all the tourneys. Just one."
He had a horrible vision of all the managers walking out in a mass. Perhaps it
wouldn't be that bad, but it wouldn't be good. And if he said the wrong thing, well,
the next frog-leg dinner might be him. "Er, ah, perhaps a specific prize for each
tourney--a spring prize, a summer prize, and so on? The managers expect--"
She exploded. A literal explosion, the force of the blast blew his hair off.
She said several things in an obsolete dialect of orcish. He stepped backward, then
again. The blast had blown the door open behind him. If he could make it out before
something else happened--
"Ribbit! Ribbit!"
