                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  TOURNAMENT BLUES 65 had cause to celebrate, after BIG WHEELER got 25 
points by beating CHERRY BLOSSOM.  ULTRANEGATOR certainly had a baffled expression on 
its face, after losing to SIGMUND and losing 6 points in the process!  Duelmaster 
GHRAAZZT from SANGUINE SAINTS is going for the gold, as it challenged SAND DANCERS' 
HARRUMPH.  Ooh, the excitement!  GHRAAZZT successfully staved off a grab for the 
roses by HARRUMPH of SAND DANCERS.  Does DAL SHANG have no one talented enough to 
dethrone it?  Word has it one team in DAL SHANG is taking speech lessons to try to 
bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     And how sociable are DAL SHANG's warriors?  Come, let us see.  To quell some 
nasty rumors, the guys in TOURNAMENT BLUES 65 are not carrying any incurable 
diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  The warriors of TOURNAMENT BLUES 65 found their 
efforts at combat frustrated as ICE DRAGONS apparently had more important things to 
do than fight.  Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral 
hygiene?  Whatever it is, HARRUMPH is the most challenged warrior.  Take heed DAL 
SHANG, of the unprincipled action of ROACH.  By challenging SAMMY FAHRING, 16 points 
below him, ROACH besmirches the noble art of dueling.  ROACH overcame SAMMY FAHRING 
with a point difference of 16.  So this is what DAL SHANG calls a duel.  This will 
make an interesting tale.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Congratulations, BIG 
WHEELER.  The manager of WEATHER should have sent CHERRY BLOSSOM to the Dark Arena 
for having a 14-12-0 long ago.  Questions are being raised about the disposing of 
severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in DAL SHANG would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in DAL SHANG is the highlight of my life.  Keep those 
sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  DAL SHANG, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has 
agreed to foot my bill at The Blazing Unicorn.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
