                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ZENSU, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Good things come to those who fight well, as 
PANDORA'S BOX can attest, moving up by 0.  PANDORA'S BOX had cause to celebrate, 
after DARKNESS got 26 points by beating SWEET SORROW.  SWEET SORROW certainly had a 
baffled expression on hers face, after losing to DARKNESS and losing 23 points in the 
process!  Duelmaster FLOODS from PANDORA'S BOX is going for the gold, as it 
challenged DREAMS WORK's HUMPTY DUMPTY.  Ooh, the excitement!  HUMPTY DUMPTY found 
out that ZENSU isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  
So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? 
Someone's got a basic problem...   
     So much to report, so little time!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in 
BEYOND THE PALE are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  Like 
a pup with its tail between its legs, PANDORA'S BOX scurried away from BEYOND THE 
PALE.  Oh, the shame!  Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good 
oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, HUMPTY DUMPTY is the most challenged warrior.   
     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 ZENSU would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  As the seasons change, and the creatures 
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Can anything 
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for ZENSU?  On that giddy note I take 
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
