                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ZUWAYZA, for 
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that 
for a perceptive observation?) as FAR TRAVELERS 2575 can attest...  Practice pays for 
HAMBY, who pummelled SPOTTED EAGLE, to pocket 21 points.  Win some, lose some.  
Speaking of which, HAMBY was winsome, after beating SPOTTED EAGLE and seeing him lose 
20 points.  In ZUWAYZA, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a 
new Duelmaster, PORCELAIN DOLL.  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns 
last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A 
certain tavern in ZUWAYZA would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in ZUWAYZA is the highlight of my life.  As if 
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.  
Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ZUWAYZA farewell-- 
Novgorodny Vir
