                                      SPY REPORT

    Lots to report on this turn.  
    First is CROW BAR returning from the Dark Arena.  I'm sure that Smithy will be 
more than pleased, with a win changing what would have otherwise been a losing turn.
    Meanwhile, JUNGLE CRUISE 2 appeared on the sands, mostly looking for a team to 
support their tourney warrior, NILE PRINCESS.  I can only hope the replacements were 
more exciting than the debut of NILE PRINCESS, because NILE PRINCESS turned 6FE of 
experience into a loss against what looks like a 0FE warrior, GROUND N POUND CAKE of 
JUST DESSERTS.
    AVENGERS, meanwhile turned their Team on the Move award from last turn into 
another 3-2 turn, though only second place this time on the Team on the Move list (due 
to Smithy's DA win).  The highlight of the turn, however, was clearly HAOMARU.  
WICKEDNESS of ASSASSIN nation challenged HAOMARU, looking for 'the usual win, skill 
raping, and empty glory.  The result, however, was HAOMARU (tired of being the arena 
punching bag) slaying WICKEDNESS almost as the arenamaster started the fight.
    Speaking of death, there is plenty else to report.  Two stand-ins were taken care 
of by DEPRAVITY and HAYMAKER.  And the tourney news is also about death. Entirely 
possible I missed a warrior, but the Chimlevtal representatives that made the 
newsletter were all deaths.  Two from BASH BROS OCEAN and one from USEFUL WEAPONS.  
Not a good day for our city.  As I usually say around tourney time...  Better luck 
next time.
    AVENGERS avoided by WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U, HAOMARU was reported as most challenged.

Until next time, Belinda signing out with a note to thank Smithy for showing the arena 
how to eat LASAGNA...  with a WAND.
