                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail TROCAR!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 2233 BOURBON ST is pushed 
out of top team by USELESS TOOLS, who came from 2nd with a 3-1-0 this turn.  The MASS 
EFFECT guild has had a 4-1-1 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You 
never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, GREASED POLE fought 
TRADER JOE and gained 20 points and contributed to USELESS TOOLS' 3-1-0.  TRADER JOE 
has lost to GREASED POLE, falling 17 points, while helping make 2233 BOURBON ST a 
3-2-0 turn.  Defending its title for another turn, NERF GUN kept TRADERS OF TROCAR's 
warrior, DORIAN HALLIE, from claiming the throne.  By the way, was that our 
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Dripping Blade?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  USELESS TOOLS has cause to stand 
tall, as they were TROCAR's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team 
to beat.  And guess who avoided USELESS TOOLS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was WHITE SLAYERS.  Anyone surprised?   
     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.  A brave warrior does not carry a 
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in TROCAR and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
