                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail CLIFFHOME!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as LUNATIC RANCH is 
pushed out of top team by THE WATCHMEN, who came from 3rd with a 4-1-1 this turn.  
And let's see, HOODED JUSTICE fought SHOGUN and gained 14 points and contributed to 
THE WATCHMEN's 4-1-1.  HAYS has lost to CONVICTED ASSASSIN, falling 16 points, while 
helping make U.A.K. a 1-3-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have 
failed, and ICARUS remains CLIFFHOME's top warrior for another turn.  Tell me, is 
nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Choking Ogre 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 EAGLES CLAW 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on CLIFFHOME, what are you afraid 
of?  And guess who avoided EAGLES CLAW stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
ASSASSINS.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was U.A.K.'s 
warrior RAPPIN DUKE.  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.  Congratulations go out to THE WATCHMEN, with SISTER NIGHT revenging a 
bloodfeud against MUSASHI of ASSASSINS.  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.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in CLIFFHOME, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in CLIFFHOME again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
