                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail XOCHITHLAN!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as UNDERGROUND LAB 17 is 
pushed out of top team by TROLLHEIM, who came from 3rd with a 4-1-0 this turn.  Now 
keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for UNDERGROUND 
LAB 17, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 5th.  On their very first turn, 
PUBLIC RELATIONS had a 4-1-0, and with this kind of luck or skill, should do well.  
Welcome to XOCHITHLAN.  And let's see, LORD LOVE A DUCK fought BEERSHEBA CHANG and 
gained 18 points and contributed to DUCKS UNLIMITED's 1-0-0.  This turn DRUG MOM Dark 
Arena Challenged WOOD GOLEM in what was XOCHITHLAN's Title bout.  The crowds were 
amazed this turn, as WOOD GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, DRUG MOM, leaving BASH BROS 
BABY in mourning.  This incredible death has allowed, I might add, FEVERED from BASH 
BROS BABY to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy.  
Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The 
Dripping Blade 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.  THE MIDDLE WAY has cause to stand 
tall, as they were XOCHITHLAN's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a 
team to beat.  And guess who avoided THE MIDDLE WAY stable the most?  Believe it or 
not, it was TROLLHEIM.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
BASH BROS BABY's warrior FEVERED.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the 
Duelmaster!   
     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 XOCHITHLAN has more dishwashers per capita 
that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, XOCHITHLAN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  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
