                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in LIN TIRIAN a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets 
poor.  So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can 
make the difference, as DOMINATION is pushed out of top team by PERRY COUNTY, who 
came from 2nd with a 2-1-0 this turn.  And let's see, JUSTINE fought ISAWA TADAKA and 
gained 21 points and contributed to SAND DANCERS' 2-3-0.  ISAWA TADAKA has lost to 
JUSTINE, falling 14 points, while helping make L5R PHOENIX CLAN a 1-1-0 turn.  The 
attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and COR CAROLI remains LIN TIRIAN'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 Lost Hope Inn 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 L5R PHOENIX 
CLAN stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on LIN TIRIAN, what are you 
afraid of?  And avoiding L5R PHOENIX CLAN more than any other team we find PERRY 
COUNTY.  LIN TIRIAN, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     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.   
     I like this place, LIN TIRIAN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet 
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in LIN 
TIRIAN again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

me the ways of the warrior. Thanks. I am not adverse to further teachings. -- Gatchel

the tourney but has not yet shown up. -- Pickled Capers
