                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt TRANSEL will ever be the same.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for 
there are sorrows to drown for RAT PAK, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 
9th.  PHOENIX GUARD stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 3 space move up the 
rankings.  This brings them up to 6th place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, 
HEMLOCK fought MORAN and gained 19 points and contributed to CHAOS KIDS' 1-2-0.  
MORAN has lost to HEMLOCK, falling 12 points, while helping make FIRST NAME BASIS a 
1-1-0 turn.  TUB THUMPING challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to 
dethrone PSYCHO SQUAD's warrior.  Defending his title for another turn, DOLFIN kept 
TOP HITS' warrior, TUB THUMPING, from claiming the throne.  Tell me, is nothing 
sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Victory Tavern 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.  I also notice that the RAT PAK stable was 
the most avoided team this turn.  Come on TRANSEL, what are you afraid of?  And 
avoiding RAT PAK more than any other team we find LANCIARII.  TRANSEL, are we going 
to accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     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.  Is it really true that TRANSEL has 
more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, TRANSEL, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets 
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
