                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon MORYA, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  PLANETS?  Who?  KRYDOR'S ELITE is the top team these 
days, buddies!  What's a move up by 3 you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  
Cause for celebration, according to KRYDOR'S ELITE.  Practice pays for KRYDOR, who 
pummelled CONVICTED THIEF, to pocket 13 points.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of 
which, GRESHA THE BASHER was winsome, after beating FRECKLES and seeing her lose 12 
points.  Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by SPINE EATER, of 
BOOK OF THOMAS, who despite a 7-7-0 couldn't overcome MORYA's Number 1.  So who was 
the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's 
got a basic problem...   
     And how sociable are MORYA's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like the noble eagle 
soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of PLANETS, alone and 
unchallenged.  As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of KRYDOR'S ELITE, 
so did that sorry team shy from PLANETS If challenges were horses, AVA could open up 
a fast food joint!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Never one to 
advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see KRYDOR'S ELITE retaliate 
against BIG LAKE PURE in bloodfeud!  Questions are being raised about the disposing 
of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in MORYA would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in MORYA is the highlight of my life.  Keep those 
sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing 
Spyreports for MORYA?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
