                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in TRICORUS a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  THE FELLOWSHIP stable has parlayed 
this turn's 2-3-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 3rd 
place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, OCTAVIA fought PHIPPS and gained 17 points 
and contributed to RAMEN BATH's 1-2-0.  3D CHESS has lost to GAFFER GAMGEE, falling 9 
points, while helping make THIS MODERN WORLD a 2-2-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone 
the Duelmaster have failed, and ALL ABOUT ME remains TRICORUS' top warrior for 
another turn.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources 
that The Blue Dolphin Inn uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  OF WOLF & PITT has cause to stand tall, 
as they were TRICORUS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And guess who avoided OF WOLF & PITT stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was THE FELLOWSHIP.  Anyone surprised?   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  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.  Always good to rest in TRICORUS, but never good to wear out my welcome.  
Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in TRICORUS again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe
