                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ROCANIS this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  On their very first turn, WOLF & VALKYRIE had a 
3-0-0, and with this kind of luck or skill, should do well.  Welcome to ROCANIS.  And 
let's see, VENOMOUS CUR fought JUNIPER and gained 22 points and contributed to BARDIC 
FLAPPERY's 2-3-0.  JUNIPER has lost to VENOMOUS CUR, falling 17 points, while helping 
make ALLIANCE a 3-2-0 turn.  This week's Duelmaster bout was between TABAR THE KNIFE 
and our Duelmaster VON DARKMOOR, making a Dark Arena Challenge.  The crowds were 
amazed this turn, as TABAR THE KNIFE killed the Duelmaster, VON DARKMOOR, leaving 
ALLIANCE in mourning.  This incredible death has allowed, I might add, VENOMOUS CUR 
from BARDIC FLAPPERY 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 Grub & Rub Bar and Bistro 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.  I also notice that the ALLIANCE 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ROCANIS, what are you afraid of? 
And guess who avoided ALLIANCE stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was HDT 
SERVICE 06.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that VAN CLEVE from 
ALLIANCE was ROCANIS' 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?  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover 
or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     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 you see my quill in ROCANIS again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
