                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail RODEKI!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  And let's see, BOAGRIUS fought HIGH CHEESE and gained 23 points and 
contributed to GRECIAN FORMULA's 2-0-0.  HIGH CHEESE has lost to BOAGRIUS, falling 13 
points, while helping make DIAMOND LINGO a 3-1-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone the 
Duelmaster have failed, and BARKIN' BILL SMITH remains RODEKI's top warrior for 
another turn.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped 
under the table at The Dripping Blade?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the DELVERS stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on RODEKI, what are you afraid of?  And 
avoiding DELVERS more than any other team we find MI CASA.  RODEKI, are we going to 
accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  Congratulations go out to GRECIAN 
FORMULA, with BOAGRIUS revenging a bloodfeud against HIGH CHEESE of DIAMOND LINGO.  
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 RODEKI, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in RODEKI again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
