                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail MORYA!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  And let's see, GARRAPOLOVE fought MOON RIVER and gained 22 points and 
contributed to FORTY WHINERS' 1-0-1.  Defending hers title for another turn, 
DESDEMONA kept LUNAE MILITES' warrior, KEITH MOON, from claiming the throne.  By the 
way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at 
Arthur's Last Stand?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  BASH BROS BODY has cause to stand tall, as they were MORYA's 
most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And avoiding BASH 
BROS BODY more than any other team we find LUNAE MILITES.  MORYA, are we going to 
accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
LUNAE MILITES' warrior MOON RIVER.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the 
Duelmaster!  PIANO RED of THE BLUES 28 had better have a good reason for challenging 
down 11 points in a challenge which he lost.  I thought PIANO RED showed great skill 
and promise when he lost to WEEP NO MORE.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big 
deal!   
     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.  LUNAE MILITES has lost MOON RIVER 
to the arena in the sky, but they don't seem to be worried.  What do you expect from 
5-4-0?  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, MORYA, 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 you see my quill in MORYA again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
