SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! RAVAGING LORDS? Who? KLKASINO HAMMERZ is the
top team these days, buddies! Practice pays for THE CLAW, who pummelled BUCK CREEK
HAMMER, to pocket 16 points. THE ANVIL certainly had a baffled expression on his
face, after losing to CONVICTED ASSASSIN and losing 24 points in the process! Can
you believe it? SOCIETY RED apparently has better things to do as NIATOLI ISLAND's
Duelmaster than show up and fight! Now I can't insult THE CRIPPLER, as he has
gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on
too thick) Word has it one team in NIATOLI ISLAND is using psychics to predict wins.
They lead a charmed life!
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in JAILBIRDS
are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. The warriors of
JAILBIRDS found their efforts at combat frustrated as RAVAGING LORDS apparently had
more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses, DUCK CREEK HAMMER
could open up a fast food joint!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
You've heard about BUCK CREEK HAMMER of KLKASINO HAMMERZ. Death plays no favorites,
and neither do I. What was a 7-6-0 doing on the fields in the first place?
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A
certain tavern in NIATOLI ISLAND would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in NIATOLI ISLAND is the highlight of my life. My
fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my
impeccable character. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
