                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ARUAK CITY this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for 
there are sorrows to drown for TOTEMS OF RAGE, whose 2-3-0 this turn dropped them by 
4 into 6th.  BULLDOGS stable has parlayed this turn's 3-1-0 into a 4 space move up 
the rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  The ANIMAL FARM 
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, HEART OF GOLD fought LIL' ED 
WILLIAMS and gained 14 points and contributed to COLORIFIC's 3-1-0.  LEOF TORFINN has 
lost to KHALHUMS DWARF, falling 12 points, while helping make THE RED HAND a 1-3-0 
turn.  Well done, ARUAK CITY, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior. 
Perhaps LOSER is not as thrilled, being challenged 4 times.  DANNIL LEWIN challenged 
for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone NANNY HOUSE's warrior.  We 
should ask DANNIL LEWIN about the thrill of victory, and what being the new 
Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  
I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Victory Tavern uses trolls in their 
stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  THE BLUES has cause to stand tall, as they were ARUAK CITY's 
most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And guess who 
avoided THE BLUES stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was TOTEMS OF RAGE.  Anyone 
surprised?  In a brave attempt, RED RAT from ANIMAL FARM challenged up 18 points to 
fight DUKE ROBILLARD from the THE BLUES stable.  RED RAT perhaps got hers just 
desserts, seeing as she beat DUKE ROBILLARD and ended up with 87 recognition points.  
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Is it really true that ARUAK CITY has more dishwashers per capita 
that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, ARUAK CITY, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet 
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and 
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
