                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ARKERS this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, MERROW fought COURTINGDISASTUS and 
gained 18 points and contributed to FIGHTING IRISH's 5-0-0.  DREAD has lost to TOKYO 
ROSE, falling 10 points, while helping make ASSASSIN NATION a 0-5-0 turn.  Well done, 
ARKERS, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Perhaps HOSTILITY is 
not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times.  This turn HOSTILITY challenged THE PARSON 
in what was ARKERS' Title bout.  And not without some honor, THE PARSON now claims 
the title and throne of Duelmaster of ARKERS.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I 
hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Dripping Blade until 
they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the FIGHTING IRISH stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on ARKERS, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding 
FIGHTING IRISH more than any other team we find ASSASSIN NATION.  ARKERS, are we 
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  SCORN of ASSASSIN NATION had better 
have a good reason for challenging down 9 points in a challenge which he lost.  I 
thought SCORN showed great skill and promise when he was subdued by THE SHIPMAN.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  The grave that FAR TRAVELERS had dug for LUTHER may yet be filled 
with the body of HIGH ELF.  Seldom are the likes of this to be seen.  LUTHER lives 
still!  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide 
when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, ARKERS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ARKERS 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
