                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail JHELUM!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as UTOPIA RELIGIOSO is pushed 
out of top team by TRIBAL COUNCIL, who came from 2nd with a 4-0-0 this turn.  The 
TRIBAL COUNCIL guild has had a 4-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  
You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, HAVEN OF GLOOM 
fought PUBSTRIKER and gained 21 points and contributed to UTOPIA RELIGIOSO's 3-0-0.  
PUBSTRIKER has lost to HAVEN OF GLOOM, falling 16 points, while helping make THE 
KILLING HIVE a 2-3-0 turn.  We should ask BLACK BEAR about the thrill of victory, and 
what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask.  By the 
way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The 
Dripping Blade?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  UTOPIA RELIGIOSO has cause to 
stand tall, as they were JHELUM's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a 
team to beat.  And avoiding UTOPIA RELIGIOSO more than any other team we find SONGS 
OF THE WOOD.  JHELUM, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, 
sports fans, take notice that LEAD BALLOON from DOGS OF WAR was JHELUM's most 
challenged warrior this turn.  JACK FROST of SONGS OF THE WOOD had better have a good 
reason for challenging down 8 points in a challenge which he won.  I thought JACK 
FROST showed great skill and promise when he won victory over CARRO LEGGERO.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     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.   
     I like this place, JHELUM, 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 JHELUM again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
