                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in LYRATILAN this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, MORGAN WALLEN fought GUITAR 
JR JOHNSON and gained 25 points and contributed to GONE COUNTRY's 3-2-0.  CHANELLE 
has lost to BATTALIONS, falling 11 points, while helping make WORKING GIRLS a 3-1-0 
turn.  Defending hers title for another turn, JADE kept THE BLUES 25's warrior, BIG 
MOJO ELEM, from claiming the throne.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the 
top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Piper's Rest until they win.  
Maybe?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  WORKING GIRLS has cause to stand tall, as 
they were LYRATILAN's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And guess who avoided WORKING GIRLS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was GONE COUNTRY.  Anyone surprised?   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in LYRATILAN and I've a long road ahead of 
me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the
