SPY REPORT
Good day, in ILLIS 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 CHAPEL ROCK is pushed out of top team by BEATRICE, who came from 3rd
with a 3-0-0 this turn. And let's see, BALL fought FISHHOOK and gained 16 points and
contributed to BEATRICE's 3-0-0. TIKI has lost to TORTY, falling 11 points, while
helping make ISLANDERS a 3-2-0 turn. Due to its absence and inability to defend the
throne, NAZARETH has lost the title of Duelmaster. And all eyes were on CHAGUA
KORBIN this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. ILLIS has a new victor!
Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The
Dripping Blade 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. I also notice that the BEATRICE stable was
the most avoided team this turn. Come on ILLIS, what are you afraid of? And guess
who avoided BEATRICE stable the most? Believe it or not, it was ELDER GODS. Anyone
surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that BALLERINA from BEATRICE was ILLIS'
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? 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. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ILLIS and I've a long road ahead of me.
Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in ILLIS again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Delisle -- Well, of course I like to nap. I'm a cat! Twenty hours of sleep and nap
time are great preparations for arena fights. Try it some time. -- Torty
P.S. I am not a tortoise-turtle, although I wish I had one of those shells over me
at nap time. I do.
Tiki -- That hurt. Again. Can't you just let me walk on my tippy-toes in peace? --
Ballerina
Delisle -- That's the way the ball bounces.... -- Ball
Shark Tooth -- To the victors go the spoils, so for my spoils I want you to tell
Delisle he is full of what fills the cat litter box, and get yourself a scratching
post for your teeth. -- Torty
Life is sweet! Except for Irvin. Why do my humans have that male cat who takes up
some of my space? Silly owners! Maybe for Christmas they will get rid of him? --
Beatrice
P.s. Wake me up if you need me. I need a nap.
Nazareth -- Now you know. Although Jorja muttered something vague about possible
strat changes this year. I'll believe THAT when I see it. -- Chagua Korbin
P.S. Skills are good, though. Thanks.
Beatrice -- Mice? What the heck? -- Islanders
We salute those who participated in the mail-in tourney. -- Jorja and the Islanders
Stone Temple Pilot -- We just did this. Once was enough. -- Fishhook
Ballerina -- Very graceful, but you should bow a little lower. -- Tiki
P.S. Oh, all right. You taught me four skills, so you get a pass.
Torty -- Huh, if we were in the water, that would have gone differently. -- Shark
Tooth
Ball -- (outraged) What was THAT all about? -- DeLisle
