                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ROCANIS 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 CREDIT 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, RINGER SIMON fought RABID GOPHER and gained 
15 points and contributed to MIDDLE WAY 20's 4-1-0.  SIR GAWAINE has lost to HOUSTON 
FARMER, falling 5 points, while helping make KNIGHTS OF NI a 1-4-0 turn.  Due to his 
absence and inability to defend the throne, FANNON has lost the title of Duelmaster.  
We should ask NEWT 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 Mylar's?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  MEN OF STEEL 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 MEN OF STEEL stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
CREDIT.  Anyone surprised?   
     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.  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.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  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

A good fight, Fannon.  Always take the title on a win. -- Elin Gallio

I have to wonder: the Rocani Turncoat is convincian?  What if she just turned her coat 
inside out to get warmer?  Maybe it was fur lined. -- Houston Farmer

Quicken -- All you golems.  I just can't trust my money to a golem.  At least an 
Embezzling Scribe can be beaten up if he steals. -- Gilbert Ordan

Diner's Club -- Again with the club!  *I* prefer a blade. -- Isam Korl

Rabid Gophers?  I've heard extreme cold affects critters oddly, but I hadn't expected 
a rabid gopher. -- Ringer Simon

Gilbert Irdan! What?! How could I have possibly done that? Wow! I am proud! -- Quicken

Isam, I guess that is now two dinners you owe me? (wink) -- Diner's Club

Let's see what kind of DM Column that Fannon is made of. Eh? -- V.P. Finance

Pay me now. Or pay me more later. -- V.P. Finance, Credit
