SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in COLLUSION COVE this turn, and
let's start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the
difference, as FUNKY FOLK is pushed out of top team by DEATH STUDS XII, who came from
2nd with a 4-0-0 this turn. The DEATH STUDS XII guild has had a 4-0-0 turn and
deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can
lead. And let's see, SCROOGE MCDUCK fought TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE and gained 21 points
and contributed to CRAZY CREEPS' 2-1-1. APEP has lost to BLACK WIDOW XLIII, falling
6 points, while helping make NIHILISTIC ENDEAVOR a 1-1-0 turn. The attempts to
dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ENIGMA XXV remains COLLUSION COVE's top
warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Blind Cyclops Inn 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. FUNKY FOLK has cause to stand tall, as they
were COLLUSION COVE's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And avoiding FUNKY FOLK more than any other team we find CRAZY CREEPS.
COLLUSION COVE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports
fans, take notice that RAZOR XXV from DEATH STUDS XII was COLLUSION COVE's most
challenged warrior this turn.
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. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, COLLUSION COVE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in COLLUSION COVE, but never
good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises
and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
