                                      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, VAN CLEVE fought 
AMBITIOUS GUARD and gained 12 points and contributed to ALLIANCE's 5-0-0.  Due to 
hers absence and inability to defend the throne, WASABI has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  And not without some honor, JUNIPER now claims the title and throne of 
Duelmaster of ROCANIS.  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!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  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.  Always good to rest in ROCANIS, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
