                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in DAL SHANG this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as TIL DEATH DO US PART is pushed out of top team by CASTAWAYS, who came 
from 2nd with a 3-1-1 this turn.  And let's see, HARITH TEN MORU fought AGERUS and 
gained 18 points and contributed to SAND DANCERS' 3-2-0.  LOEKER SMITH has lost to 
FLITCHAK, falling 6 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a 3-2-0 turn.  And not 
without some honor, SORRELISHE now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of DAL 
SHANG.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the 
table at The Blazing Unicorn?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Hearty mugs of ale were raised in DAL SHANG today as RAZIA was bid 
farewell to a 8-4-1 warrior, with KHAH RAKAH of CASTAWAYS standing silent and 
pensive.  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or 
hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in DAL SHANG and I've a long road ahead of 
me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the 
Scribe

Flitchak -- It amazes me that any man of Palani extraction would allow himself to be
called that. -- Sorrelishe
P.S.  But then again, it's very strange that any decent, respectable Palani would go
about wearing a tail.

Karma -- Looks like you need to work on yours. -- Loeker Smith

Khah Rakah -- Oh, was that your name?  Sounded to me like the announcer coughed.
Probably the weather, lots of people coughing right now. -- Chaego Sarildan

Agerus -- Gods, man, pay attention!  Get a different weapon. -- Garno ten Koro
P.S.  And then challenge somebody else, meaning "not me."  Once you find your feet
(try the foot locker), I don't want to be on the receiving end.

Celkovy Unik -- A friend was telling me this morning about some guy that said, "Life
is hard, and it's harder if you're stupid."  Do you suppose there was a hidden
message in that? -- Harith ten Moru
