                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail LIN TIRIAN!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  The MY BED BANDER guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched 
in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, 
DERBY fought EUSTACE and gained 18 points and contributed to PERRY COUNTY's 2-1-0.  
MARCH HARE has lost to DRUNK CLOWN HURT ME, falling 11 points, while helping make 
SAND DANCERS a 0-5-0 turn.  This turn KHARLI challenged FENN HAVEN in what was LIN 
TIRIAN's Title bout.  And not without some honor, FENN HAVEN now claims the title and 
throne of Duelmaster of LIN TIRIAN.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw 
last night, cramped under the table at The Lost Hope Inn?   
     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 PERRY COUNTY 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on LIN TIRIAN, what are you afraid 
of?  And guess who avoided PERRY COUNTY stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
WRATHMEN OMPB.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that FENN HAVEN 
from PERRY COUNTY was LIN TIRIAN's most challenged warrior this turn.  In a brave 
attempt, CANNELTON from PERRY COUNTY challenged up 21 points to fight STUNNING INLAY 
from the HOWLIN CASE stable.  CANNELTON perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as it 
lost to STUNNING INLAY and ended up with 64 recognition points.   
     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?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in LIN TIRIAN 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

And if'n I thought 1-3 was sad, then this 0-3 is inconsolable. -- Smitty
P.S. I blame it all on a Mat and a briefcase..

Jorja, for a long time it was mere two-way stop signs. But then a magic stop light 
appeared. Note: both were right out my bedroom window as we lived on that corner. Big 
time city of 1800, you know? -- Smitty

Stunning Inlay, well, stunned is how I feel. -- Cannelton

Eustace, how could you treat me like that? -- Derby

Drink Floyd, I prefer Starbucks. -- Leopold

Perry County, land of a 1-6 last two turns. Yikes! -- Smitty

Derby -- Gee, thanks.  Our only loss today, to a stiff-upper-lip hat. -- Eustace
P.S.  No, wait, I won!  Thanks.  Keep your upper lip stiff in the face of that loss.

To defeat the dangerous criminal, even without a skill learned, is a rush. -- March 
Hare

And I defeated another hard-shelled bashing standby.  Not as much of a rush as the 
dangerous criminal, but good. -- Bobwhite

If I have to fight, give me a low-ranked, non-bashing standby. -- Jonathan

The beggar is so inept, he's practically a guaranteed win.  I like that kind. -- Medio 
Cur
P.S.  And he taught me three skills.  Good work.  Of course, if I don't go out on a 
street corner to beg, what good will they do me?
