                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt NIANIA will ever be the same.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for 
there are sorrows to drown for HARLEQUINS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 6 
into 10th.  WORTHLESS MANAGERS 3 stable has parlayed this turn's 2-3-0 into a 4 space 
move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 8th place.  Good work, guys!  The DEEP 
ELVES 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, DRIPPY fought PERSISTENT 
BEGGAR and gained 15 points and contributed to WORTHLESS MANAGERS 3's 2-3-0.  HAYES 
has lost to HOWLIN PUP, falling 9 points, while helping make SONS OF THE STAR a 2-3-0 
turn.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ALL-IN remains 
NIANIA's top warrior for another turn.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard 
from unimpeachable sources that Jim's Tap Room uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about 
gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the HARLEQUINS stable was the most avoided 
team this turn.  Come on NIANIA, what are you afraid of?  And guess who avoided 
HARLEQUINS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was DEEP ELVES.  Anyone surprised? 
The most challenged warrior this turn was STRANGE PLANET's warrior FROZEN THICKNESS.  
More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!  WINDSONG of DEEP ELVES 
had better have a good reason for challenging down 15 points in a challenge which she 
won.  I thought WINDSONG showed great skill and promise when she bested ESMITH.  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?  Anyone care to tell me why the warriors of SONS OF THE STAR haven't 
revenged the death of NEWTON against JAR of RESURRECTION yet?  Hmmm?  A brave warrior 
does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  
Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in NIANIA, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in NIANIA again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
