SPY REPORT
Good day, in DAL SHANG a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, PORGARAL fought
SAGAT OF PAIDAN and gained 18 points and contributed to REFUGEES' 1-3-0. JESSE TAVAN
has lost to GRACIOUS MELODY, falling 5 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a
2-3-1 turn. Well done, DAL SHANG, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Perhaps TITANIA is not as thrilled, being challenged 4 times. WITCH DOCTOR
challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone SUPERIOR FORCES
3J's warrior. Defending hers title for another turn, TITANIA kept MYSTERY MACHINE's
warrior, WITCH DOCTOR, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have
heard from unimpeachable sources that The Blazing Unicorn 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. MYSTERY MACHINE has cause to stand
tall, as they were DAL SHANG's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a
team to beat. And guess who avoided MYSTERY MACHINE stable the most? Believe it or
not, it was MAGNIFICENT BASTARDS. Anyone surprised?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Congratulations go out to MYSTERY MACHINE, with THE SWAMI revenging a
bloodfeud against DAKORIL of REFUGEES. Is it really true that DAL SHANG has more
dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, DAL SHANG, 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 DAL
SHANG again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

All -- Please welcome the return of Mystery Machine! -- Edge
P.S. What have I missed?
Jesse Tavan-- Some skills would have been nice to go along with the beating.... --
Mano Tiki Tia
Churro the Spike -- Didn't I fight one of your cousins or something the last time I
was on the sands? The Hook maybe? -- The Swami
Dakoril -- Well that was hardly welcoming. -- Edge
Titania -- Er...think of it as an outgoing gift. -- Ming the Terrible
P.S. Think of it as...the propriety of the Duel2Dudette taking the title on a win,
rather than by default.
Captain Awesome -- Oh, yeah? I'd argue that point. And I WILL argue it, as soon as
I recover.... -- Durvan
Crystal Runeblade -- Take that, you slant-eyed deviless! -- Tebas ten Kogan
Mano Tiki Tia -- Whoosh, I was worried about that one! I was never cut out to fight
mongeese. -- Jesse Tavan
Somebody should RETIRE Oltimal the Lame and get us a standby who can STAND. --
Kassila tyl Dru
Gracious Melody -- And not only that, but sweet and feminine, as well. Come sing at
our place any time. -- Murgon
P.S. At our guildhouse. No way am I leaving here for Alastari. Let 'em eat cake!
The Swami -- I thought you were some kind of sausage. -- Churro the Confused
P.S. With peppercorns.
Merri Holidaze -- Truly marvelous, madam. Come over to our place and make whoopee,
eh? -- Porgaral
Wax Phantom, now an Ectoplasmic Phantom -- I regret your death. -- Dakoril the
Remorseful
Jesse Tavan -- Would your ears deceive you? If so, I would advise you to get new
ears. You must be able to trust them, after all. -- Lo Kai, Master of the Edge
Porgaral -- You'd better BELIEVE I'm mean, you puppy! -- One-Eyed Yofan
Witch Doctor -- A decent effort, but I must remind you that magic, even witchcraft,
is not permitted in the arena. -- Lo Kai, Master of the Edge (and I wish they'd let
me USE an edge, I would feel so much better out there with a sword in hand....)

hear from anyone who remembers me, as well as any Alliance that is seeking to add
