                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt ARADI will ever be the same.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for 
there are sorrows to drown for UNNAMEABLES, whose 1-2-0 this turn dropped them by 5 
into 9th.  13TH CIRCLE stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 4 space move up 
the rankings.  This brings them up to 4th place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, 
LORD SUNSTONE fought NATURAL LOG and gained 26 points and contributed to NEON 
ROYALTY's 3-2-0.  NATURAL LOG has lost to LORD SUNSTONE, falling 21 points, while 
helping make RAMONDA'S CLASS a 1-2-0 turn.  Due to its absence and inability to 
defend the throne, SHEEPY THOMPSON has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And not without 
some honor, KELLY FABULOUS now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of ARADI.  
Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters 
do dishes at The Victory Tavern 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 13TH CIRCLE 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ARADI, what are you afraid of?  
And avoiding 13TH CIRCLE more than any other team we find THIS HIGH WORTH.  ARADI, 
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Is it really true that ARADI has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? 
Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Always good to rest in ARADI, 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
