                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
LYRATILAN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see MOCKINGBIRD win a fight and gain 24 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
GHOST SHARK beat BYRON and BYRON lost 15 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if 
variety is the spice of life, LYRATILAN may be getting bland, as SOUTHWARK stays top 
dog in the city.  The Mourngrym Inn and Tavern, humph!  I've tasted better ale at 
mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From LYRATILAN's trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  
LYRATILAN, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  WORKING GIRLS the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act 
of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was WINDS OF WAR.  Ha ha ha ha!  
APOLLYON was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM 
insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess 
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in LYRATILAN to get a drink than The Mourngrym 
Inn and Tavern!  Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the 
fine city of LYRATILAN.  I feel much better now.  I see the crowds are getting 
restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
