SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon MORDANT, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Those betting on EVIL BEAVERS lost their shirt, as
EVIL BEAVERS lost their fighting abilities: 0-1-0. Nothing works for a team like
victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as MANNEQUIN'S BEST can attest...
SEA DOGS had cause to celebrate, after JETSAM got 19 points by beating MIASMA. Win
some, lose some. Speaking of which, RUM RUNNER was winsome, after beating RED EYE
and seeing him lose 4 points. In MORDANT, nothing is permanent (except Death), and
we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, WAYWARD SON. Word has it one team in MORDANT is
taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of MANNEQUIN'S BEST should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like a pup with its tail
between its legs, BOOZE scurried away from MANNEQUIN'S BEST. Oh, the shame! If
challenges were horses, RUM RUNNER could open up a fast food joint!
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 MORDANT would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid MORDANT farewell--
Novgorodny Vir
