                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail ILLIS!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  And let's see, PILLOW FIGHT fought SCRAWNY GEORGE and gained 21 points and 
contributed to BOOK OF THOMAS' 3-1-0.  SEA FOAM has lost to JUST ONE IS OK, falling 
13 points, while helping make BOOK OF THOMAS a 3-1-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone 
the Duelmaster have failed, and HUMAN PRETZEL remains ILLIS' top warrior for another 
turn.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing 
fighters do dishes at The Welcome Wench until they win.  Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  SHEWISH MUNCHIES has cause to stand 
tall, as they were ILLIS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And avoiding SHEWISH MUNCHIES more than any other team we find BASHAHOLICS 
ANON.  ILLIS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     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.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in ILLIS, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in ILLIS again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
