SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt ILLIS will ever be the same. PARAGONS stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-1
into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work,
guys! The ISLANDERS guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the
future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, COCO
NUTTAL fought URMUNG COSBU and gained 23 points and contributed to ISLANDERS' 4-1-0.
URMUNG COSBU has lost to COCO NUTTAL, falling 18 points, while helping make
BLOODGUARD a 2-3-0 turn. Defending hers title for another turn, APPLESEED kept TALL
TALES' warrior, JOHN WAYNE, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Welcome Wench?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the BLOODGUARD
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ILLIS, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided BLOODGUARD stable the most? Believe it or not, it was IMPROVED
ILLUSION. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was VIGILANTE
JUSTICE's warrior INDIGO. More fighters challenged her than challenged the
Duelmaster! ELMINSTER of IMPROVED ILLUSION had better have a good reason for
challenging down 10 points in a challenge which he won. I thought ELMINSTER showed
great skill and promise when he overcame G W BUSH. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
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. Whatever bright future INDIGO may
have had, it's all history now. The manager of VIGILANTE JUSTICE has lost a
promising 3-0-2 warrior. The Welcome Wench declares a free round for BANE OF BONES
and all of PARAGONS, for having revenged VIGILANTE JUSTICE's INDIGO for killing one
of their comrades. Kudos go out to BANE OF BONES this turn, for revenging PARAGONS'
bloodfeud against VIGILANTE JUSTICE's warrior INDIGO. Well done. 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 the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Ravinkor -- Nice playon my name, but it seems that your Paragons are the ones being
tossed. -- Brandon Massingale
Bane of Bones -- I think it's time for us to meet, but unlike my comrades, I won't be
so easy. Just ask you friends Photon and Fleshrender... oh yeah, I forgot I killed
them, oops. (laughing) -- Indigo
What an amazing thing that has transpired! Indigo is a vicious little thing, never
in my right mind did I think she could kill. But it wasn't just one--no, it was
two... hmm... I wonder who's next in her destructive path? Well, anyways, besides
Indigo, Brutus is also a killer and they're both undefeated. :) Unfortunately, this
turn wasn't so great, being a 2-3. I guess I need to double my warriors' training
regimen. Well, until next time. -- Brandon Massingale, mgr. Vigilante Justice
P.S. See y'all at the tourney!
Massingale -- Hello there, oh "Chunk in the Wind" (I love your name). ;) I must say
that your little Indigo is impressive. Poor Fleshrender wasn't ready for her. She
narrowly avoided my Bane of Bones (poor Maazerus put up a fight though). So
hopefully Indigo will meet Bane this turn. -- Ravinkor, mgr Paragons
Maazerus -- You hit hard. Me hit harder. BoB like you though. Others break too
easy. -- Bane of Bones
Indigo -- BoB coming for you. BoB play ruff wit you. Fleshrender and litte
Photon... BoB miss -- Bane of Bones
Brutus -- Hi! I can't believe the Boss is pitting me against you! When you were
exed I though you did in Krisis quite well. I signed up with him, but didn't like
him much. So don't take this personal. -- Molasses
Brandon Massingale -- Okay, that makes sense. I just wondered. -- Jorja
Inuyasha -- That was a very, um, subtle illusion. Not enough magic to trigger the
arena defenses against it, but... I was never sure exactly where you were.
Confusing. -- Dillis Rhin
Bann -- Ouch? -- Sylvester
Happy Drunkard -- I've never known a genuinely happy one. -- Coco Nuttal
Veteran Mercenary? Bah. -- Belitris
John Wayne -- I don't suppose anyone could keep you down for long. It just isn't in
your mystique. -- Chagua Korbin
