                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail DAL SHANG!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown 
for THAT SMELL, whose 0-3-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 7th.  And let's see, DON 
LO fought MO STANK and gained 18 points and contributed to SAND DANCERS' 3-2-0.  MO 
STANK has lost to DON LO, falling 10 points, while helping make THAT SMELL a 0-3-0 
turn.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, PRIME has lost the 
title of Duelmaster.  And not without some honor, CANNELTON 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?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the THAT SMELL stable was the most avoided 
team this turn.  Come on DAL SHANG, what are you afraid of?  And guess who avoided 
THAT SMELL stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was PLACES.  Anyone surprised?  
The most challenged warrior this turn was VIRGO's warrior TAU VIRGINIS.  More 
fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     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 DAL SHANG has more dishwashers per capita 
that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in DAL SHANG and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in DAL SHANG again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe

I didn't know One-Eyed Yofan HAD a bathrtub. -- Mighty Mite

Frostop -- That was unintensional.  Can golems die? -- Fargo Borum

Cannelton -- I don't enjoy tussles.  Especially in the arena.  So public. -- Larris
