                                      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.  And let's see, MOOSE fought ISAM 
KORL and gained 19 points and contributed to KNIGHTS OF NI's 4-1-0.  ISAM KORL has 
lost to MOOSE, falling 9 points, while helping make MIDDLE WAY 20 a 2-3-0 turn.  Well 
done, ROCANIS, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Perhaps 
FANNON is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times.  PEACE AND challenged for the 
Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone MEN OF STEEL's warrior.  Defending 
his title for another turn, FANNON kept Q IS FOR QUIET's warrior, PEACE AND, from 
claiming the throne.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, 
cramped under the table at The Wanton Troll?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the CREDIT stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ROCANIS, what are you afraid of?  And 
avoiding CREDIT more than any other team we find Q IS FOR QUIET.  ROCANIS, are we 
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover 
or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, ROCANIS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in ROCANIS, but never good to wear out 
my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets 
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
