                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail WILLAF!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  TRICKSTERS stable has parlayed this turn's 3-1-0 into a 4 space move up the 
rankings.  This brings them up to 5th place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, TUNGA 
THE ODD fought BROKEN HEROES and gained 18 points and contributed to TRICKSTERS' 
3-1-0.  BROKEN HEROES has lost to TUNGA THE ODD, falling 15 points, while helping 
make SAXON a 2-1-0 turn.  We should ask HOWIE HOWITZER 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 Warty Toad 
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 CADDYSHACK stable was the most avoided 
team this turn.  Come on WILLAF, what are you afraid of?  And guess who avoided 
CADDYSHACK stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was TRICKSTERS.  Anyone surprised? 
Well, sports fans, take notice that JUDGE SMAILS from CADDYSHACK was WILLAF's most 
challenged warrior this turn.  In a brave attempt, BUCCA-BOO from TRICKSTERS 
challenged up 23 points to fight JUDGE SMAILS from the CADDYSHACK stable.  BUCCA-BOO 
perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she was dealt death by JUDGE SMAILS and 
ended up with 87 recognition points.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  Banners at half mast, warriors, 
TRICKSTERS has lost BUCCA-BOO, and you might say all of WILLAF has felt the loss, 
except maybe CADDYSHACK.  CADDYSHACK, with any luck TRICKSTERS will successfully 
bloodfeud JUDGE SMAILS for killing such a warrior as BUCCA-BOO.  Have a little 
decency, will ya?  Is it really true that WILLAF has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in WILLAF 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
