                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt JADE MOUNTAIN will ever be the same.  On their very first turn, LADY WARRIORS 
had a 3-0-0, and with this kind of luck or skill, should do well.  Welcome to JADE 
MOUNTAIN.  And let's see, ZENOBIA fought TALK-TO-DEATH and gained 21 points and 
contributed to LADY WARRIORS' 3-0-0.  HOUND OF THE HILLS has lost to THE OVEN BIRD, 
falling 13 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a 2-3-0 turn.  The attempts to 
dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and MENACING FURY remains JADE MOUNTAIN's top 
warrior for another turn.  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.  I also notice that the CRITICALS stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on JADE MOUNTAIN, what are you afraid of?  
And avoiding CRITICALS more than any other team we find DEFROSTED.  JADE MOUNTAIN, 
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  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.  Always good to rest in JADE MOUNTAIN, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in JADE MOUNTAIN 
again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Coming soon to Jade Mountain are the Lady Warriors, and you had better be ready. They 
are not necessarily nice. -- Ms. Fu

Hound of the Hills -- YOU might be the LUCKY ONE.  This, 'Jorja Peach' that you speak 
of, sounds like one of the Ancient Ones.  IF she decided to come out of retirement, 
I'd TEACH her many skills as I've TAUGHT you. MY 'Fighting Style,' as you say, is NOT 
a "style" but a way of life; a journey.  A WASTE like you will NEVER know such a path.  
Enjoy the learns.  Soon I head to the Isle, to eventually meet The Arghon. -- Eddie 
Gordo

We salute the tourney participants, with special shouts for Flower Power, tourney 
victor in Initiates, Menacing Fury, Champion in Challengers, Murderous Thrust, victor 
in Eligibles, and Samurai, victor in Primus. -- Sand Dancers

The Oven Bird -- Tasty, but too much onion. -- Hound of the Hills
P.S.  What other kind of comments can we make to your team?

Out Out -- You DID laugh, and then you ate it all, like the devouring orc you are. -- 
Ho Chang

Clever Stab -- No, don't do it again. -- Black Friday

Like I'd invite that Guardsman into MY bathtub?  As if! -- Lotus Blossom

I have no sympathy for standbys, who have JOBS, and go around picking pockets. -- 
Hunter
