SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! SEA DOGS had cause to celebrate, after
STARGAZER got 20 points by beating LUCY JORDAN. Win some, lose some. Speaking of
which, MAIRE MCANGUS was winsome, after beating HAMMERHEAD and seeing him lose 16
points. BRENDAL found out that MURSKA isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best
to be Duelmaster here! 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? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in SEA DOGS
are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a pup with its
tail between its legs, BAD GUYS scurried away from SEA DOGS. Oh, the shame!
Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and HAREC O'KAI is it right now. Most
challenged warrior. Isn't CHILDREN OF LLYR proud! Them's the breaks, HAREC O'KAI.
Expecting fair challenges from IN THE JUNGLE is evidently too much to ask. THE LION
KING overcame HAREC O'KAI with a point difference of 31. So this is what MURSKA
calls a duel. This will make an interesting tale.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Oh hard! that
to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Like a mixed
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid MURSKA farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
