                                      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 DOOPHUS, who pummelled BIG 
BILL BROONZY, to pocket 18 points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking 
and practice more, after losing 20 points to MASTER RHOLENN.  (Discrete enough, SON 
OF JOHN?) JOE WILLIAMS successfully staved off a grab for the roses by SHIRLEY KNOTT 
of PSYCHO SQUAD.  Does TRANSEL 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...   
     And how sociable are TRANSEL's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Perhaps the 
warriors of PSYCHO SQUAD should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided 
team...  As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of SKYRIM, so did that 
sorry team shy from PSYCHO SQUAD  
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Justice was 
served as JOE WILLIAMS fought SHIRLEY KNOTT in bloodfeud.  Well done, BLACK AND 
BLUES!  Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  More important duties call me.  Can anything 
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for TRANSEL?  On that giddy note I take 
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Hmm, people hate Alice, even though she Ain't Here.  Maybe they know something... as
we do at the guildhouse.  Not a nice woman, and the oftener she isn't around, the
better the rest of us like it. -- Not-A-Nut Jones

Three wins over standbys, two losses to managed warriors.  A bunch of slackers,
that's what the Squad has these days.  Things were much better in MY day. -- Not-A-
