                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ARADI this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  On their very first turn, MEDAL OF HONOR 15C had a 
3-1-0, and with this kind of luck or skill, should do well.  Welcome to ARADI.  And 
let's see, PRINCE HUMPERDINK fought FU PUP and gained 19 points and contributed to 
DARQUE FARCES' 2-0-0.  WOOFER has lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, falling 8 points, while 
helping make RED DOG GANG a 2-2-0 turn.  Our Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to M. 
CHARDINEE, BUT LOCOMOTIVE BREATH is still the Duelmaster because he has the most 
recognition points!  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, 
cramped under the table at The Blind Cyclops Inn?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the RED DOG GANG stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on ARADI, what are you afraid of?  And guess who 
avoided RED DOG GANG stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was SATAN'S TULL.  
Anyone surprised?   
     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.  Whatever bright future NORTHSTAR 
may have had, it's all history now.  The manager of ALPHA FLIGHT has lost a promising 
3-0-0 warrior.  Is it really true that ARADI has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, ARADI, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in ARADI again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
