                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ALJAFIR a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  Now keep the taverns open late 
tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for TROLLS, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped 
them by 6 into 9th.  THE SHOWOFFS stable has parlayed this turn's 3-0-0 into a 3 
space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 5th place.  Good work, guys!  And 
let's see, POMPEII fought CONVICTED ASSASSIN and gained 14 points and contributed to 
WHEN EAGLES DARE's 4-0-0.  EARNIE has lost to ICICLE, falling 10 points, while 
helping make TROLLS a 1-4-0 turn.  And all eyes were on DISTINGUISHED this turn as 
she ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  ALJAFIR has a new victor!  Tell me, is 
nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Vile Vizier uses 
trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  THE SHOWOFFS has cause to stand tall, 
as they were ALJAFIR's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And avoiding THE SHOWOFFS more than any other team we find PERRY STRIKE FORCE. 
ALJAFIR, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged 
warrior this turn was 244 BOURBONS ST's warrior TUMBLIN' DICE.  More fighters 
challenged it than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  You gotta do what you gotta do.  TROLLS has sent ONE EYED HAG to the Dark 
Arena.  The deed is done.  Lift the ale, and toast the memory.  TROLLS made what 
looks to be a tough decision this turn, as they sent EYE SCREAM, with a record of 
3-10-0, to EYE SCREAM death.  Farewell, his.  RALF TANNER has departed ALJAFIR, 
leaving MIDDLE WAY without their 9-17-0 warrior.  Question, just what was his team 
doing at the taverns last night?  Congratulations go out to THE SHOWOFFS, with YOU'RE 
NOT GOOD revenging a bloodfeud against MATTFELD of PERRY STRIKE FORCE.  Is it really 
true that ALJAFIR has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd 
ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ALJAFIR and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in ALJAFIR again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe
