SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! INFERNO SYNDICATE after a sorry 0-0-0 might want to consider abandoning
the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues! I doubt many are
quaking in their boots, but OF WOLF & MAN 4 comes out of nowhere to get 3-1-0. What
does the future hold? Watch this space... Practice pays for AUNTY ENTITY, who
pummelled FROSTBITE, to pocket 26 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which,
HANNIBAL LECHTER was winsome, after beating SEA BEAR and seeing him lose 7 points.
Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by BEAST HAMMER, of MUTANT
HAMMERZ, who despite a 11-8-0 couldn't overcome STORMCROWE's Number 1. Word has it
one team in STORMCROWE is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to
death. I'll bet it works.
And how sociable are STORMCROWE's warriors? Come, let us see. Perhaps the
warriors of DARQUE FORCES should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided
team... The warriors of DARQUE FORCES found their efforts at combat frustrated as
THE LION'S DEN apparently had more important things to do than fight.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen
into an unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in STORMCROWE is the highlight of my life. Keep those
sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing
Spyreports for STORMCROWE? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
