SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon NIANIA, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! TEAM HAVOK? Who? THE GOLDEN FISH is the top team
these days, buddies! Practice pays for GALLORDIN, who pummelled MORDANT DESERTER, to
pocket 13 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, HAROLUE was winsome,
after beating YUKIO OKUTSU and seeing him lose 7 points. 4 BRIDGES successfully
staved off a grab for the roses by VENOMOUS CONCUBINE of NIANIA. Does NIANIA have no
one talented enough to dethrone him? 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!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Admittedly Death
waits for no one, but me thinks SWITZER'S of OUT THE WINDOW (3-1-0) is being sent off
a little prematurely. MOUNTAIN TROLL in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for EJ DOME of
OUT THE WINDOW. Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at Jim's Tap Room will be! 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. Can anything
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for NIANIA? On that giddy note I take
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Hand of Hell -- Bad Hand! I slap it! Keep it to yourself, you wretch. Okay, so it
wasn't your hand I hit, sue me. But keep your hands and other things to yourself.
We're both guys, for pete's sake! And big, tough gladiators. We don't do that kind
of stuff. -- Dolovor
P.S. Do we?
4 Bridges -- Wow, you fell on me like, well, like a handful of bridges. Ouch. But
at least this time the title goes to someone who won to get it. That's an
improvement, AND, I don't have to do the column, which is a BIG improvement. --
Koronedus, number two and content
Spiritual Pain -- You know, I didn't need that. You are a darned pain in the neck,
and very inaccurate, too. I"m just glad to be done with this whole thing. -- Ghost
of Gillande
Edward O'Hare -- Hey, listen, I'm a turtle or something, I don't go chasing after
wild hairs! -- Harolue
Yukio Okutsu -- Darned tower! I hope you sink into the swamp so that even your great
height does not suffice to keep your head above the waters. -- Sarovond
I want to applaud Gobiann Stronaxe, Khalhums Dwarf, for his great modesty. It quite
took away my breath. -- Koronedus
Wellondry of Osksi -- Of course I would believe you, if there was any chance of ship
such as you speak of coming into Niania. But what kind of trading bonanza do you
think you can find in the swamp? Unless...tell me you aren't trafficking in khugas!
-- Harolue
