                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail VALAMANTIS!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  MASTIFF has lost to GORMODUC IRN, falling 9 points, while helping make 
THE BEARS a 3-2-0 turn.  Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KUNG-FU 
MASTER, and DARTH SIDIUS has made the way for a new Duelmaster!  With DARTH SIDIUS 
clearing the throne, RANDOM SITH of DARTH MALEK takes a proud seat as VALAMANTIS' new 
Duelmaster, by virtue of recognition points.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have 
heard from unimpeachable sources that The Aradi Alyia 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.  MIDDLE WAY 10 has cause to stand tall, as 
they were VALAMANTIS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And guess who avoided MIDDLE WAY 10 stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was THE BEARS.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was RANDOM 
SITH's warrior DARTH BANE.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the 
Duelmaster!  In a brave attempt, RUSSIAN BEAR from THE BEARS challenged up 22 points 
to fight DARTH BANE from the RANDOM SITH stable.  RUSSIAN BEAR perhaps got his just 
desserts, seeing as he bested DARTH BANE and ended up with 32 recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Is it really true that VALAMANTIS has more dishwashers per capita 
that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, VALAMANTIS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in VALAMANTIS, but never good to 
wear out my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in 
VALAMANTIS again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
