                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Practice pays for BARRUK, who pummelled 
PERSISTENT BEGGAR, to pocket 15 points.  A certain someone should cut down on the 
drinking and practice more, after losing 9 points to ELINTERRI.  (Discrete enough, 
WILE E COYOTE?) PIGSKIN successfully staved off a grab for the roses by KORBRIZT 
HORON of THE GOLDEN FISH.  Does NIANIA have no one talented enough to dethrone him?  
Word has it one team in NIANIA is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a 
charmed life!   
     And how sociable are NIANIA's warriors?  Come, let us see.   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in NIANIA is the highlight of my life.  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

Pigskin -- Well!  A fat lot of good it did me to defeat you NOW, when I'm LEAVING.

Not to the Isle, though, I hear it's crowded, and even a small apartment is terribly
expensive.  I'm going to take my Lord Protector lands, even if they/it isn't much,
and RETIRE.  Drop by any time. -- Kinthira

Wile E Coyote -- Ah, great!  Another step on our path to a four-one-oh-one turn.
Losing the orc is a nuisance, because it means we'll get TWO new teammates at the
same time, and you never KNOW what they might be like, but... at least it wasn't ME.
-- Korbrizt Horon
P.S.  That probably wasn't what I meant to say when I started the sentence, but by
the time I was getting to the middle, much less the end, I'd forgotten where it was
going.

I bet if we could but know it, the Khalhums Dwarf is a conscienceless killer here.
You know how dwarves are. -- Kestraline

Holy Cow -- Assassination?  Does that mean you have never forgiven me for eating the
Golden Shrimp?  Gods, woman, you're hard!  What if I reincarnate as the Golden
Shrimp? -- Ghost of Lugbruk

To Sedmon Var, Merchant and Moneylender, I say, Pooh! -- Elinterri
