Steel Sharpener, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! CARDOW HUNTERS had cause to celebrate, after WINDFLOWER got 25 points
by beating DOUBLE MCDIPPER. PERILOUS QUINN certainly had a baffled expression on
hers face, after losing to SEISUI and losing 15 points in the process! A certain
someone saw STEEL SHARPENER at The Warty Toad with the shakes, and now it fails to
show up to defend its throne. What a pathetic slob! So who was the warrior seen
charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic
problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so
did the "warriors" in LAPUR avoid MID EARTH. As a woman of good breeding scorns the
"warriors" of METAL MINCERS, so did that sorry team shy from MID EARTH Everyone is
famous for fifteen minutes, and SNOWFLAKE is it right now. Most challenged warrior.
Isn't CARDOW HUNTERS proud!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Q: What's a record like 6-9-0 get you? A: A free trip to the Dark Arena!
This week's winner: STEEL SQUEEZER of METAL MINCERS! WINDFLOWER of CARDOW HUNTERS
sends DOUBLE MCDIPPER of CLAN CROW goes to the Weary Warrior's Retirement Home.
LAPUR has no place for weaklings! Justice was served as WINDFLOWER fought DOUBLE
MCDIPPER in bloodfeud. Well done, CARDOW HUNTERS! Ask not for whom the sword
slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! LAPUR, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Warty
Toad. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Aye, Visionist, me laddy. Ye be missed. -- Oremaster
Grassfire -- Gallant Metal Mincers? Not since I've been here. I am trying to
convert them to true champions, but, alas, my old man hubby, Oremaster, is just too
darn crochety at the moment. -- Ora
Naowyn -- I'd like to say I beat you to the punch, but let's just leave it at "My
pleasure, Ma'am." -- Platinum Punch
Grassfire -- I was sorry to have to put out your fire, Buddy. -- Steel Sharpener
Seisui -- I hope I didn't squeeze you so badly that you no longer want to fight.
What's that I hear that Visionist and Crew are taking a hiatus? Hey, come back soon;
I promise to be easier on you. -- Steel Squeezer

time! Me will say we did NOT participate in the off key carolling. -- Owsly

more fights and me be back ta test yer metal again! -- Sinister Finn
Jorja -- On behalf o' D. McDiper we at Clan Crow would like ta oppolgive for the
death of you hunter. Double dannae have o' mean bone in his body and dannae me ta do

be doin an not realizin he be goin too far. (KD o 5) As always when we at Clan Crow
be causin a death we will man up and attend the dead's funeral and send over a bottle
o' our best. -- Owsly and the rest o' Clan Crow

Steel Sharpener -- It didn't hurt ME, but the boss got hit with a -10 degree
windchill. -- Wintersong

Steel Sharpener -- I'm so sharp now, I may move up to chimney fires! -- Grassfire
Sinister Finn -- I see that my skill as a teacher is verified by this performance.
