                                      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.  The X RATED KNIGHTS 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, KAPPA VOLANTIS fought MUJURO UTSUTSU and gained 21 
points and contributed to VOLANS' 1-0-0.  MUJURO UTSUTSU has lost to KAPPA VOLANTIS, 
falling 16 points, while helping make IMPROVED ILLUSION a 1-3-0 turn.  Defending hers 
title for another turn, PEARL kept NEXUS 5's warrior, CLAYBORN, from claiming the 
throne.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the 
table at The Swinging Aardvark?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  IMPROVED ILLUSION has cause to stand tall, as they were 
ILLIS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And 
avoiding IMPROVED ILLUSION more than any other team we find CHAPEL ROCK.  ILLIS, are 
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice 
that 12 STONES from CHAPEL ROCK 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?  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover 
or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     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 the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
