TEAM SPOTLIGHT
The nurses tell me a secret admirer stopped by as I was recovering. I don't know what
it is about my getting a 5-second beatdown that is so admirable, but I want to find
out.
If, O My Admirer, you want to talk with me, I'm taking a boat out into the harbor at
noon on market day. It'll have a red shirt tied to the figurehead.
Take a boat out there yourself, we'll drop anchors and share a drink (and heal I
guess).
-- Iron McGinty
P.S. Hey Wolf, it had better not be you, or I'll shoot fire arrows into your stern.
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! BASH BROS PROJECT had cause to celebrate, after MISSING PARTS got 24
points by beating BULLY. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, MISSING PARTS was
winsome, after beating BULLY and seeing him lose 20 points. Out with the old, in
with the new. Enter VENEMOUS CONCUBINE, handily defeating NEAR WHALE. With 85
points, BRINE SUSPECT of BLUE HERRINGS takes the position of NOBLISH ISLAND's
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! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of BEWARE, alone and unchallenged. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, BASH BROS PROJECT scurried away from BEWARE. Oh,
the shame!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Do not think spyreporting in NOBLISH ISLAND is the highlight of my life. As if
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.
Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
