                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  THE RUNAROUND had cause to celebrate, after ANSWER PACK got 20 points 
by beating AURELISCES.  Duelmaster MAUL ON WHEELS from THE RUNAROUND is going for the 
gold, as he Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's DARK CHAMPION.  Ooh, the excitement!  
DARK CHAMPION found out that NIANIA isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to 
be Duelmaster here!  Word has it one team in NIANIA is taking speech lessons to try 
to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     And how sociable are NIANIA's warriors?  Come, let us see.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  DARK CHAMPION 
in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for MAUL ON WHEELS of THE RUNAROUND.  Maybe that 
certain serving girl(?) at Jim's Tap Room will be!  Those who owe MAX MURDERER of U 
PAY I SLAY 2 money and had written it off, take note:  it'S BACK FROM THE DARK 
ARENA!!!  AND it'S MAD!!!  The audience gave a nice round of rasberries to AURELISCES 
of THE GOLDEN FISH, for expiring in such an ungraceful fashion.  7-7-0, indeed!  Ask 
not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     All good things must come to an end.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- 
Novgorodny Vir

Our congratulations to Maul on Wheels. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish

One-four, and Minnow died.  Damn.  I knew the water quality wasn't the greatest, but
I didn't realize it was that bad.  Maybe we could, I dunno, sponsor a "clean up the
water" day in her name?  If it isn't too expensive.  At one-four, we aren't raking it
in. -- Peter Nutley
