                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail TRANSEL!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as CHAOS KIDS is pushed out of 
top team by RUNE, who came from 2nd with a 3-1-0 this turn.  Now keep the taverns 
open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for METALLIC WOLVES, whose 0-0-0 
this turn dropped them by 6 into 13th.  The RUNE guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and 
deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can 
lead.  And let's see, ZLATO fought LITTLE JOHN and gained 22 points and contributed 
to AURUM BELLATORES' 1-0-0.  HOMER has lost to SAPPARELLA, falling 9 points, while 
helping make CHAOS KIDS a 0-5-0 turn.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the 
throne, RATIGAN-RAT has lost the title of Duelmaster.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I 
have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Sultan's Tent uses trolls in their 
stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     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 RUNE stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on TRANSEL, what are you afraid of?  And 
guess who avoided RUNE stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was BREWHALLA.  Anyone 
surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that PSYCHO KILLER from TOP HITS was 
TRANSEL's most challenged warrior this turn.  In a brave attempt, GARY DAVIS from 
BLACK AND BLUES challenged up 21 points to fight PSYCHO KILLER from the TOP HITS 
stable.  GARY DAVIS perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he beat PSYCHO KILLER 
and ended up with 59 recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in TRANSEL and I've a long road ahead of 
me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the 
Scribe
