                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt ARADI will ever be the same.  It seems the training can make the difference, 
as 13TH CIRCLE is pushed out of top team by NEON ROYALTY, who came from 2nd with a 
4-1-0 this turn.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to 
drown for TRAIL OF BEERS, whose 0-1-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 11th.  TEMERE 
NOMEN stable has parlayed this turn's 2-0-0 into a 7 space move up the rankings.  
This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  The NEON ROYALTY 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, QUEEN TIFFIN fought POCAHOSTESS and gained 21 
points and contributed to NEON ROYALTY's 4-1-0.  COLDY has lost to ROYAL ASSASSIN, 
falling 19 points, while helping make THE BUNKHOUSE a 0-3-0 turn.  Due to his absence 
and inability to defend the throne, NATURAL LOG has lost the title of Duelmaster.  
And all eyes were on QUEEN TIFFIN this turn as she ascended to the throne of 
Duelmaster.  ARADI has a new victor!  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw 
last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the INGRATE WHITE NORTH 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ARADI, what are you afraid of?  
And guess who avoided INGRATE WHITE NORTH stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
TRAIL OF BEERS.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was THE 
BUNKHOUSE's warrior KELLY FABULOUS.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the 
Duelmaster!  Well now, what do you expect when someone like KELLY FABULOUS from THE 
BUNKHOUSE challenges down 42 points to fight TIGERIA of TEMERE NOMEN?  Well, will you 
look at this, KELLY FABULOUS was subdued by TIGERIA, and THE BUNKHOUSE will have to 
explain why they made such a challenge in the first place.   
     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...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ARADI and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in ARADI again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe
