                                      SPY REPORT

Good afternoon.

     Brook the Rage was killed on turn 1037, and this is turn 1038, so it was the 
first chance to get revenge.  However, Polar Bear was challenged by somebody else this 
turn.  THE WHISTLER (4-7789) (14-15-0,89) of SONGS OF THE WOOD challenged POLAR BEAR 
(4-7820) (22-21-1,96) of TRIBAL COUNCIL.  THE WHISTLER overpowered POLAR BEAR in a 1 
minute mismatched Challenge match, and was awarded 16 points for it.
     I don't even see anyone from Fail to Wreck on the active list.  That's 
surprising.  I guess they decided they don't like Jhelum.  It's a pretty nice town, 
really.  Clean streets, plenty of interesting shops, and the constables are very 
helpful.
     Oh dear, Tanks for Nothin' had a 0-4-0 turn.  Valentine, who was Duelmaster last 
turn, didn't do so well today.  VALENTINE (4-7776) (22-32-1,119) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN' 
fought BREAK IT DOWN AGAIN (4-7423) (13-1-0,104) of PALE SHELTER 57.  VALENTINE was 
vanquished by BREAK IT DOWN AGAIN in a 1 minute uneven Title duel.
     Songs of the Wood had a 5-0-0 turn.  Bravo!  They avoided Pale Shelter 57, but so 
would I, facing that team record of 78--16-2.  Pale Shelter has just two warriors 
active at the moment, but they are formidable.  Aside from the current Duelmaster, 
here is the other one:  LIL GREEN (4-7803) (16-6-1,92) of CLASSIC BLUES challenged 
SEEDS OF LOVE (4-7644) (14-1-0,118) of PALE SHELTER 57.  LIL GREEN was vanquished by 
SEEDS OF LOVE in a 3 minute uneven Challenge battle.  But I congratulate Lil Green for 
the brave challenge.

This is a short report, but it's all I have time for today.  I hope you all have a 
productive two weeks.

                                          -- Edith Tonte
