                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of SNOWBOUND.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Practice pays for 
BROTHER HADES, who pummelled JACK DEATH, to pocket 11 points.  A certain someone 
should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 8 points to BROTHER 
HADES.  (Discrete enough, JACK DEATH?) Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were 
disappointed by MRS. SPARKLENOSE, of OPEN SESAME, who despite a 9-3-0 couldn't 
overcome SNOWBOUND's Number 1.  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns 
last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Perhaps the warriors of DARQUE THEORY should 
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of DARQUE 
THEORY found their efforts at combat frustrated as OPEN SESAME apparently had more 
important things to do than fight.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Ask not a 
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an 
unconscious stupor.   
     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 SNOWBOUND?  On that giddy note I 
take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
