                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon RODEKI, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Practice pays for SUNSET SLAUGHTER, who pummelled 
EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, to pocket 15 points.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, 
JURGENHALEN was winsome, after beating RAZZ and seeing him lose 7 points.  Those who 
hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by VETERAN MERCENARY, of RODEKI, who 
despite a 0-0-0 couldn't overcome RODEKI's Number 1.  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!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Ask not for 
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     All good things must come to an end.  More important duties call me.  Do not 
despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

The miniovers are always a shock.  Seems to the Commission that I'm the only one on
this team who's GOOD at anything (couldn't prove that by me, or by my arena record!).
At least, I'm the only member of this team with a rating.  Harby is really letting us
down. -- Jurgenhalen

I'm not stopping you from practicing, observing, and learning. -- Harby

Stud -- Well, of course!  Not ONE of the bookies in this benighted town will give
odds on me to win. -- Jurgenhalen

Suicide King -- You just do that to annoy me, don't you? -- Rocksnail

Deep Blu -- Remind me (again) not to eat there.  I have such a stomach ache! --
Joseph George

Omaha -- How about if I go for Plattsmouth instead?  It's quieter. -- Khulbadd

I had this overpowering urge to SMASH something, and there was the "Osksi Noble."  It
was satisfying. -- Anvil
