                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of MORDANT.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Practice pays for 
SHOTGUN DADDY, who pummelled MAD MANNEQUIN, to pocket 19 points.  COLOSSEUM HALLS 
certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to STING and losing 12 
points in the process!  Well, Duelmaster NAEGLING Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's 
STONE GOLEM.  Is a 15-3-2 good enough?  The crowds were amazed this turn, as STONE 
GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, NAEGLING, leaving SWEORDMASTERS in mourning.  Even 75 
points weren't good enough to save NAEGLING from RANDOM MANIAC.  MORDANT welcomes 
RANDOM MANIAC as the new Duelmaster!  So who's the team that's been walking into 
taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     And how sociable are MORDANT's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like a horde of 
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in MORDANT avoid HOMICIDAL 
MANIACS.  Like a pup with its tail between its legs, BOOZE scurried away from 
HOMICIDAL MANIACS.  Oh, the shame!  RANDOM MANIAC found himself challenged by a 
warrior 25 below:  GRASSCUTTER.  GRASSCUTTER of SWEORDMASTERS kept his wits as he 
bested RANDOM MANIAC.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     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.  Do not 
despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Our congratulations to Naegling and Whiskey. -- Jorja and the Homicidal Maniacs and,
separately, the Low Road 3

That's because we don't like to associate ourselves with those maniacs. -- Erbin
Parnan, speaking for his teammates on the Low Road

Naegling -- I suppose it's to be expected.  Too many people these days, gladiators
first among them, put their own interests ahead of the needs of the city.  I,
however, shall stay here and defend the alleys. -- Random Maniac

Slean -- What?  *I* was the master in that fight?  Coulda fooled me.  I was sure you
had tourney experience.  Still, I'll take the win, and be glad to get it. -- Beltran
Moss

Tien-Shu of Genrai thinks puffed-rice-marshmallow bars are breakfast!  More fool he.
-- Cereal Killer

Mad Mannequin -- Ah, there's the problem.  You let your anger overpower you.  Always
a mistake in the arena.  I, now, was not angry.  Mad, perhaps, but in the sense of
"crazy," which is quite different. -- Black Bonker

What is this, a tour of the standbys?  Maybe we should go inactive after all, though
I did like the idea of us on the Low Road balancing the Maniacs.  We, after all, are
reasonably sane. -- Allana Lorimer

S... Mc -- Nope.  You won't get around me by bringing me candy and flowers.  I'm not
that easy. -- Shotgun Daddy

Well, we can say this for Moneybags Mefrin, he doesn't quit early. -- Chelsea Noren
and Delise Orm

If Lieuteant Worel is an example of the defenders of Mordant, well, I'm a little
worried. -- Erbin Parnan

Erbin Parnan -- And rightly so!  Worel is HELPLESS in the alleys! -- Random Maniac

So those two women think its CUTE to get Moneybags all stirred up and the sic him on
ME?  I don't think it's cute.  I think it's a plot. -- Masked Murderer
