SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt ROCANIS will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as INCONSISTENT FURY is pushed out of top team by MIDDLE WAY 20, who came
from 2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn. And let's see, FREM HARID fought PURPLE KITTEN and
gained 25 points and contributed to MIDDLE WAY 20's 4-1-0. ABELINDA CHASE has lost
to NALENTHU, falling 10 points, while helping make MIDDLE WAY 20 a 4-1-0 turn. The
attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and SPLAT remains ROCANIS' top
warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Grub & Rub Bar and Bistro uses trolls in their stew.
Talk about gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. STRAIGHT UP THUG has cause to stand tall, as
they were ROCANIS' most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And guess who avoided STRAIGHT UP THUG stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
INCONSISTENT FURY. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that ABELINDA
CHASE from MIDDLE WAY 20 was ROCANIS' most challenged warrior this turn.
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. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ROCANIS again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
