"Top team again," Lorinda muttered. "It's the pits!"
"Yeah yeah yeah, we heard that last time," Harkranz said. "Let's pass on it
today. Did you hear about the Blizzard Fountain in the swamp?"
"The what?" Fredi blinked, finding the concept totally bizarre. "The swamp is
always warm, or at least not cold, because of the Chaos Magic residue. I learned
about that as a kid! People, magicians, say it'll be centuries yet before it all
cools down."
"Yeah, well, it's Chaos," Harkranz answered. "You can't predict it, and lately,
here, it's taken a turn for the colder. A really SHARP turn."
Tarimez made a disgusted sound and spat on the floor, which was more emotion
than he normally showed.
Fredi and Harkranz turned to him in question (Lorinda was still sulking).
"What?" Fredililla asked.
"It is not chaos," the Karragit said. "It is intentional. Hostile.
Destructive. The Ice Master wishes to destroy us all, or bend us to his will."
"Ice Master? I think I've heard of a manager called Icelord--"
"Not him. He's what you humans call a 'good guy', is he not? The Ice Master,
the Winter King--you would call him 'evil', I suppose. He desires to see all the
world turned to ice."
"Sheila Greywand won't allow it--"
"She's mad," Harkranz said. "She might not care."
"And even if she did, if she stopped the Ice Master, it might be too late for
the swamp," Tarimez added. "If anything is going to be done, WE--"
"Oh, gods, not an adventure?"
"Life is an adventure, Fredi," Harkranz said.
"And life in the frozen heart of the Winter King would be a desperate
adventure," Tarimez added. "If that can be prevented, it should be."

SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Nothing is certain in NIANIA, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--THE FUNNY FARM.
THE FUNNY FARM had cause to celebrate, after DUCK DODGERS got 17 points by beating
AMBITIOUS GUARD. IMMANUEL KANT certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after
losing to LORINDA and losing 12 points in the process! Those who hoped for a new
Duelmaster were disappointed by HARKRANZ, of THE GOLDEN FISH, who despite a 16-7-0
couldn't overcome NIANIA's Number 1. Word has it one team in NIANIA is using
psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of SERPENTS HOLD, alone and unchallenged. The
warriors of SERPENTS HOLD found their efforts at combat frustrated as 042909A
apparently had more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses,
LORINDA could open up a fast food joint!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A
certain tavern in NIANIA would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for NIANIA? On that
giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
All -- I am getting together as many Duelmaster players as possible to play in a game
of Hyborian War as a change of pace. We already have 17 players that are interested
and we are trying to get as many as possible involved before I submit the list to
RSI. I am collecting the names and top 3 kingdoms that the players are interested in
and submitting it myself so we can all play in the same game. If you are interested
PM me in the DuelII Forums at Tripwire or email me at azaer123@comcast.net. --
Tripwire
Jean Paul Satre -- You again? Oh well, at least I'm winning. -- Charlie Horse
Immanuel Kant -- Aw, you're just lucky Chocolate Cow got killed in the tourney, now I
have no one who can win a bloodfeud. -- The Funny Farm
Oh, no, the Chocolate Cow is gone? This is terrible.
Ghandi -- You killed someone, you need to be punished. Isn't that the way it goes
with you pacifists? -- Harkranz
Immanuel Kant -- You're too dangerous, we have to do something about you. In fact,
all you Historical Wusses are getting distinctly unwussy. Is this some kind of New
Year's resolve? Or have we entered the Age of Mars? -- Lorinda
Desmond Tutu -- I'm not going to put up with your violence, bub. My Secret Admirer
said I shouldn't. -- Fredililla
That so-called Fratsfa Slave doesn't look very Fratsfan. But he's satisfyingly
slavish. -- Tarimez
We salute the tourney participants. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish
