                                      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.  The IRON CATHEDRAL guild has had a 
5-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind 
of thing can lead.  And let's see, LACERATED TONGUE fought KHALHUMS DWARF and gained 
13 points and contributed to OTTO'S PARTS' 1-4-0.  ARMSMAN challenged for the 
Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone OTTO'S PARTS' warrior.  We should 
ask ARMSMAN about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a 
warrior, he's now the one to ask.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw 
last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the IRON CATHEDRAL stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on FRATSFA, what are you afraid of?  And 
guess who avoided IRON CATHEDRAL stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was OTTO'S 
PARTS.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was IRON CATHEDRAL's 
warrior TEMPER.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!  In a 
brave attempt, CLUB FOOT from OTTO'S PARTS challenged up 24 points to fight TEMPER 
from the IRON CATHEDRAL stable.  CLUB FOOT perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as 
it lost to TEMPER and ended up with 81 recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     I like this place, FRATSFA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in FRATSFA and I've a long 
road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe

                          Name Change-o-Rama -- Final Update

     Algernon looked at the goats and sighed.  No doubt it was a Good Deed to give 
goats to people who wanted them.  But why did the goats have to be gathered in HIS 
office?  Four of them, and they were a lot like gladiators:  not smelly maybe, they 
were clean goats, but pushy and sure they were the most important thing around.  Maybe 
they should be enrolled in the arena?  No, there were only four, not enough for a 
team.
     He shook his head to clear it of the image of armored goats with sharpened horns.  
One thing at a time.  He pulled a piece of paper out of his desk drawer, dipped his 
pen in the ink, and began to write.

     "It is our pleasure and honor to note that ninety-eight gladiators and teams have 
elected to change their names, supporting the contribution of goats to deserving 
people.  With the Commission's matching funds, this has purchased four goats--a good 
goat can't be purchased for a copper, you know.  The goats are already en route to 
their new homes, where they will be--"  He paused and thought about it.  "--very 
welcome.  We wish all the best to the goats and the new goat-owners."
