                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ROCANIS 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, JUNIPER fought 
RIRORNI SABOTEUR and gained 21 points and contributed to ALLIANCE's 2-3-0.  MARLBORO 
MAN has lost to RIRORNI SOLDIERS, falling 4 points, while helping make ALLIANCE a 
2-3-0 turn.  This turn XERO THE HERO Dark Arena Challenged NAIRON in what was 
ROCANIS' Title bout.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as NAIRON killed the 
Duelmaster, XERO THE HERO, leaving ALLIANCE in mourning.  This incredible death has 
allowed, I might add, WASABI from SPICY to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I 
hear DARK ARENA is not happy.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last 
night, cramped under the table at The Wanton Troll?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.   
     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.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ROCANIS 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
