                                      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, HARRISON FORD 
fought MIGHTY MITE and gained 22 points and contributed to CAR STARS' 1-0-1.  PORK 
SODA has lost to BBQ, falling 9 points, while helping make KILLER TUNES a 3-2-0 turn. 
The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and SOBER remains DAL SHANG's 
top warrior for another turn.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top 
team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Blazing Unicorn until they win.  
Maybe?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  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 avoiding THAT SMELL more than any other team we find CAR STARS.  DAL SHANG, 
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take 
notice that MIGHTY MITE from SAND DANCERS was DAL SHANG's most challenged warrior 
this turn.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  I guess it was coming sooner or later, SAND DANCERS has lost MIGHTY 
MITE, and DAL SHANG is bound to miss him.  For a little while, at least.  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?  Always good to rest in DAL SHANG, but never good to 
wear out my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my 
pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

To the late Noodles -- I'm sure you can hear me, ghosts of slain gladiators usually 
hang around haunting the arena sands for at least 4 turns. So anyway, as I offered my 
hand to you I was unaware of your worldly demise. -- Doink

Gladiatorial Commission -- So how does a team get credit for a successful Blood Feud 
when they didn't Blood Feud? A Blood Feud shows intent to avenge, a random match-up 
does not. Just saying. Not that I'm inviting Joe to BF me, next turn. eerp! -- Doink

     Even if the matchup is random, it's assumed that the warrior still attempts to 
     revenge the death of his teammate. 

Another Brick Pt2 --That was faster than I expected.  And you could have taught me 
something; despite my longer experience, I don't know it all. -- Mighty Mite

Stardog Champion -- Thanks for the skills, I don't see many of those. But I was hoping 
for a second win, even without skills. -- Old Classico

Doink -- Your name may be an unfortunate omen.  But I will not push it and try to 
doink you, perhaps fatally.  Someone who can teach me three skills is to be cherished. 
-- Manhattan Joe

Doink -- That counts.  I can rest easy now. -- ghost of Noodles

Fall to Pieces -- You should probably avoid eating sweets. -- Creampuff

Ironhyde -- I feel smashed. -- Mashed Potatoes
