                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail XOCHITHLAN!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown 
for JUST ADD COFFEE, whose 1-1-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 6th.  PUBLIC 
RELATIONS stable has parlayed this turn's 5-0-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings.  
This brings them up to 1st place.  Good work, guys!  And all eyes were on FEVERED 
this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  XOCHITHLAN has a new victor!  
Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters 
do dishes at The Welcome Wench until they win.  Maybe?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the UNDERGROUND LAB 17 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on XOCHITHLAN, what are you afraid 
of?  And guess who avoided UNDERGROUND LAB 17 stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was TROLLHEIM.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was JUST ADD 
COFFEE's warrior BEARISTA.  More fighters challenged it than challenged the 
Duelmaster!  In a brave attempt, LORD LOVE A DUCK from DUCKS UNLIMITED challenged up 
22 points to fight CUDDLEBUG from the TROLLHEIM stable.  LORD LOVE A DUCK perhaps got 
its just desserts, seeing as it subdued CUDDLEBUG and ended up with 88 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 XOCHITHLAN 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
