                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  A certain someone should cut down on the 
drinking and practice more, after losing 3 points to ULTRANEGATOR.  (Discrete enough, 
SKIRLING DIEVRN?) A certain someone saw GHRAAZZT at The Blazing Unicorn with the 
shakes, and now it fails to show up to defend its throne.  What a pathetic slob!  
What can be a greater victory?  HARRUMPH has taken his place as the top, as DAL 
SHANG's new Duelmaster.  So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls 
and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Perhaps the warriors of INTRUDERS 
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of 
INTRUDERS found their efforts at combat frustrated as SHADOW LIONS apparently had 
more important things to do than fight.  If challenges were horses, HARRUMPH could 
open up a fast food joint!  SIGMUND challenged HARRUMPH!  Who says ICE DRAGONS are 
just a bunch of wimps!  SIGMUND of ICE DRAGONS kept hers wits as she defeated 
HARRUMPH.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  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.  As if 
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.  
DAL SHANG, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Blazing 
Unicorn.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
