SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in SUNSET this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
PHILTHBALLS is pushed out of top team by BEN'S BAZAAR, who came from 2nd with a 3-2-0
this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown
for PHILTHBALLS, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 6 into 7th. LEGEND KILLERS
stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 9 space move up the rankings. This
brings them up to 2nd place. Good work, guys! The RAT PAK guild has had a 3-0-0
turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of
thing can lead. And let's see, DR. AWKWARD fought HOLDEN MCBAGGS and gained 24
points and contributed to CRACKED REAR VIEW's 1-0-0. PHOEBE has lost to LITTLE
FLOAB, falling 14 points, while helping make WRATH OF PAIN a 3-2-0 turn. And all
eyes were on WAYBACK WENN this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.
SUNSET has a new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at Cagliostro's Castle?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the BIG LAKE TERROR
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on SUNSET, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided BIG LAKE TERROR stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
BEN'S BAZAAR. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that SLYTHER from
REPTILE RAMPAGE was SUNSET's most challenged warrior this turn. Building dreams on
hope, ARYAGATOR challenged up 31 points this turn to take on KENDO KOMODO from
REPTILE RAMPAGE stable. But when the dust settled, ARYAGATOR had lost to KENDO
KOMODO, and PHILTHBALLS left ARYAGATOR doing chores when they went to the tavern.
Better luck next time. MAXIMUM EL VATO from BEN'S BAZAAR took a risk this turn by
bravely challenging up 26 points in a challenge against SLYTHER. And whaddya know,
MAXIMUM EL VATO beat SLYTHER, and the fighters of BEN'S BAZAAR were last seen lifting
frothy pints of ale in honor of MAXIMUM EL VATO's 25 point gain. In a fit of
brilliance or of stupidity (hard to say sometimes), SAMMY SLICK challenged VAMPEROR
today, facing a 28 difference in recognition. And though SAMMY SLICK lost to
VAMPEROR, the valiant attempt earned him 2 worth of recognition. Foolhardiness can
sometimes pay. MANNIN BLAK of GRIM FANDANGO had better have a good reason for
challenging down 13 points in a challenge which he lost. I thought MANNIN BLAK
showed great skill and promise when he lost to MANIC MARVIN. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. The manager of SEA SHANTIES will not be pleased to learn that OLD MAUI, a
5-2-1 fighter, has been killed at the hands of BIG LAKE TERROR's DARK LAUGH. 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, SUNSET, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in SUNSET, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in SUNSET again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
