SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! THE DOGHOUSE had cause to celebrate, after JUNO got 19 points by
beating RICK JONES. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, JUNO was winsome, after
beating RICK JONES and seeing him lose 17 points. Duelmaster THE THING from THE
DEATH SQUAD is going for the gold, as he challenged FRAG 'EM ALL!'s SCARBOROUGH.
Ooh, the excitement! THE THING successfully staved off a grab for the roses by
SCARBOROUGH of FRAG 'EM ALL!. Does TOBIR 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! Is it charming personality?
Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, *IRONFIST* is the most
challenged warrior.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Questions are
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain
tavern in TOBIR would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure of
writing Spyreports for TOBIR? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
