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 HANGOVERS, who came from 2nd
with a 3-1-0 this turn. And let's see, SHOO-CHA fought FALSE IDLE and gained 18
points and contributed to ISLANDERS' 3-2-0. FALSE IDLE has lost to SHOO-CHA, falling
16 points, while helping make CHAPEL ROCK a 2-3-0 turn. Well done, ILLIS, the
Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps KAPPA VOLANTIS is not as
thrilled, being challenged 3 times. RAIGEKI challenged for the Duelmastership this
turn, attempting to dethrone VOLANS' warrior. We should ask RAIGEKI about the thrill
of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to
ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The
Dripping Blade uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. 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 guess who avoided IMPROVED ILLUSION stable the most? Believe it or not,
it was CHAPEL ROCK. Anyone surprised? SUBSTITUTION from BASHAHOLICS ANON took a
risk this turn by bravely challenging up 27 points in a challenge against DISCIPLE.
And now nobody knows where DISCIPLE is right now, after giving SUBSTITUTION 21 points
worth of recognition. As quiet chuckles rise behind me.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Congratulations go out to HANGOVERS, with BAHAMA MAMA revenging a
bloodfeud against JUBEI of IMPROVED ILLUSION. The Dripping Blade declares a free
round for AZA CHORN and all of NEXUS 5, for having revenged HANGOVERS' GREYHOUND for
killing one of their comrades. 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
Zaruko -- Smooth hands, but I think your fingers are a little sticky. -- 12 Stones
Harbor Seal -- You seem to be mistaken. I am made from ultra-high-strength-hyper-
vibranium, and am virtually indestructible. But the lump inside me might get wet
when if you push me off the pier, and that might get me upset. -- Jar of Clay
Shoo-Cha -- I feel like the cat has been swatted. -- False Idle
Jubei -- I know you can't hit the broad side of a barn if you tried, but clearly, I'm
no barn. -- Flaming Sambuca
Kappa Volantis -- Quick, get your political points and move on so I can get that
throne back. -- Bahama Mama
Raigeki -- Nice showing in Alexandria (not the real old one, just the close by one).
-- Frozen Mudslide
Swordgrave -- Woo Hoo! Didn't expect that to turn into a win. -- Disciple
Aza Chorn -- I hope you don't feel too cloudy in the brain. -- Purple Haze
Grobbendonk -- The only good news is we no longer have to worry about what your name
means. -- Greyhound
Moonveil -- I'm not sure I even got to attack as a "Rookie", so that was a refreshing
change. -- Dime Store Prophet
Jar of Clay -- You don't float well. -- Harbor Seal
False Idle -- Is that where your boat doesn't move but I can hear the engine racing?
What's the point? -- Shoo-Cha
Sober for 7 Days -- You'll walk the plank for that one, buster. -- Tom Bligh
Scrawny George -- I know an ambitious guard when I see one. Take that! -- Oil Spill
Lothar Dyfonate -- Thanks for the win, the only one we got today. Let me buy you a
drink! Even TWO drinks. -- Starfish (not really a fish)
