                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in SHADOWSPIRE a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets 
poor.  So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  Now keep the taverns open 
late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for MONSTER MANUAL, whose 1-3-0 this 
turn dropped them by 8 into 12th.  The OHS ALUMNI guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and 
deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can 
lead.  And let's see, THE LEPER'S HAND fought PIERCER and gained 22 points and 
contributed to BIG LAKE SOLUTION's 4-1-0.  PIERCER has lost to THE LEPER'S HAND, 
falling 17 points, while helping make MONSTER MANUAL a 1-3-0 turn.  Due to his 
absence and inability to defend the throne, TOMAHAWK has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  And not without some honor, CHILD SMASHER now claims the title and 
throne of Duelmaster of SHADOWSPIRE.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the 
top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Swinging Aardvark until they 
win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  THE COMMODORES has cause to stand tall, as they were 
SHADOWSPIRE's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And 
avoiding THE COMMODORES more than any other team we find WICKED MARTYRS.  
SHADOWSPIRE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports 
fans, take notice that WWE from SCORPIO LIKES: was SHADOWSPIRE's most challenged 
warrior this turn.  In a brave attempt, CHILD SMASHER from BIG LAKE SOLUTION 
challenged up 24 points to fight MARTIAL SLAW from the OTTO'S DINER stable.  CHILD 
SMASHER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he subdued MARTIAL SLAW and ended up 
with 106 recognition points.  QUICK of BIG LAKE SOLUTION had better have a good 
reason for challenging down 15 points in a challenge which he lost.  I thought QUICK 
showed great skill and promise when he was bested by DANTE.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     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.  The manager of SCORPIO LIKES: will 
not be pleased to learn that WWE, a 4-2-2 fighter, has been killed at the hands of 
INEBRIATION's GRAY GOOSE.  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has 
nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, SHADOWSPIRE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in SHADOWSPIRE, 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
