                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail SNOWBOUND!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  On their very first turn, PANDEMONIUM had a 3-0-0, and with this kind of 
luck or skill, should do well.  Welcome to SNOWBOUND.  And let's see, DALLAS fought 
AMBITIOUS GUARD and gained 17 points and contributed to BOOK OF THOMAS' 3-0-0.  
JANICE KOLE has lost to JOSEKI KO, falling 11 points, while helping make MIDDLE WAY 6 
a 1-1-0 turn.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, WORD ON THE 
STREET has lost the title of Duelmaster.  We should ask JOSEKI KO about the thrill of 
victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to 
ask.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The 
Victory Tavern uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  Well, sports fans, take notice that BIG JIM from SIGMA NU'S 
was SNOWBOUND's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     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 SNOWBOUND has more dishwashers per capita 
that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in SNOWBOUND 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
