                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail JURINE!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as ARENA FELINES is pushed out 
of top team by FEAR FACTORY, who came from 2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn.  BLACK PEARL 
stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings.  This 
brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  The FEAR FACTORY 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, SICKLE fought COWL SKIRLING and gained 19 points 
and contributed to BLADES OF TERROR's 2-1-0.  MIKAI ABADOS has lost to RANDY, falling 
8 points, while helping make BLADE AND BLOOD a 2-3-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone 
the Duelmaster have failed, and MUDVAYNE remains JURINE's top warrior for another 
turn.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the 
table at The Swinging Aardvark?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  Well, sports fans, take notice that ADEMA 
from FEAR FACTORY was JURINE's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  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.   
     I like this place, JURINE, 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 JURINE again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
