                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in TROCAR this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, FIREWALL fought DILIAN HALLIE and 
gained 19 points and contributed to USELESS TOOLS' 3-2-0.  DARRIN HORROCKS 2 has lost 
to MOLD, falling 5 points, while helping make TRADERS OF TROCAR a 1-4-0 turn.  This 
week's Duelmaster bout was between LARKIN SAND and our Duelmaster DISSOLVABLE DIAPER, 
making a challenge.  And all eyes were on LARKIN SAND this turn as she ascended to 
the throne of Duelmaster.  TROCAR has a new victor!  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I 
have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Warty Toad 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 PLANET 9 stable was the most avoided 
team this turn.  Come on TROCAR, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding PLANET 9 more 
than any other team we find USELESS TOOLS.  TROCAR, are we going to accept, or 
respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice that KORILL SAI from 
TRADERS OF TROCAR was TROCAR's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Is it really true that TROCAR has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, TROCAR, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in TROCAR and I've a long 
road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
