SPY REPORT
Good day, in JADE MOUNTAIN 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, JILES fought
STONEFACE MIKARN and gained 19 points and contributed to ZOMBIE SQUAD 6's 4-1-0.
YOAKUM BEDE has lost to KO-HA OAKCHOPPER, falling 8 points, while helping make SAND
DANCERS a 2-3-0 turn. Defending his title for another turn, BETA SAGITTAE kept
APOKOLIPS' warrior, LADY SMOKE, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing
sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Green Axe 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.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
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 JADE MOUNTAIN 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

Name Change-o-Rama -- Final Update
The Commission's administrative office on the Isle was in a big square building
that looked like any other administrative office building in any national capital.
Standard, boring. Except for the goats. Half a dozen goats were wandering free,
eating the landscaping, and as many clerks were chasing them. A clerk saw them
coming, he looked like a Trustworthy Scribe, and he rushed over to the approaching
gladiators. "Do you know anything about goats?" He gestured helplessly at the hungry
goats. "They're here because of the Name-Change-o-Rama. We donate them to help change
the world, you know."
The gladiators nodded. They'd heard about it, but hadn't thought it would be so
funny to see. "How did you deal with them last time?"
The clerk made a disgusted gesture. "People came and took them away. But the
people didn't come this time. They sent a message about being quarantined! Aren't we
all? And WE get to work! Goats are not in our job description."
One of the gladiators snorted laughter. "We'll help," he said. "Where do you
want them?"
* * * *
Embric, relieved that he had not been appointed goat-herder this afternoon,
carefully dipped his pen in ink and began to write. "It is our pleasure and honor
to note that one hundred and twenty-seven gladiators and teams have elected to change
their names, supporting the contribution of goats to deserving people. With the
Commission's matching funds, this has purchased six goats--a good goat can't be
purchased for a copper, you know. The goats are already en route to their new homes,
where they will be--" He paused and thought about it. "--very welcome. We wish all
the best to the goats and the new goat-owners."
