                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ZENSU a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  So 
bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  And let's see, GOING NOWHERE fought 
KHALHUMS DWARF and gained 14 points and contributed to OXY MORONS' 4-0-0.  YU CRYN 
has lost to HUMPTY DUMPTY, falling 7 points, while helping make GR8 PL8TS a 0-1-0 
turn.  We should ask TERRIBLE BEAUTY about the thrill of victory, and what being the 
new Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask.  Can someone confirm a 
rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The 
Victory Tavern until they win.  Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Is it really true that ZENSU 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.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
