SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! FANDILS? Who? CYNICAL DELUSIONS is the top
team these days, buddies! Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but
INFERNAL LORDS will tell you 173-142-10 is nothing to laugh at... DEATH had cause to
celebrate, after QUIETUS got 21 points by beating TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE. A certain
someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 11 points to
TEMPTATION. (Discrete enough, LORI COLLIN?) Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster
were disappointed by DR STEINBURGER, of FANDILS, who despite a 14-4-0 couldn't
overcome ARDIVENT'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! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of INFERNAL LORDS, alone and unchallenged.
As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of FANDILS, so did that sorry team
shy from INFERNAL LORDS Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and SPARROW-BLASTER
is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't CYNICAL DELUSIONS proud!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Justice was
served as RYTHYM WIZARD fought SPARROW-BLASTER in bloodfeud. Well done, INFERNAL
LORDS! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!--
Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Glaver -- What the? Where'd the head on that spear go? -- Quietus
Jacinthe -- Thanks. I'll be a lot better for the lesson. -- Dread
Degotti -- I think I've found the way to the sands, and the scent of blood; seems to
be coming from my warriors lately. -- Eclipse
FIIZ -- Yikes I guess you kind of Fizzed out. Didn't mean to send you to the land of
the dead, but you will have company there. This arena has turned into a dark arena
itself. I guess I will have to wait for the bloodfeud. -- Sparrow
Fandil -- How about you try this. All offensive warriors are to use shields, and
really blunt weapons, wrapped in at least 10 layers of cloth. If this doesn't work,
I think that every warrior here will have to go down to the pub, get drunk, come to
fight and pass out before the first swing of their chosen weapon. -- Eclipse
Steinberger -- Sounds like you need the doc now! Can't wait to see the results of
this fight. Twenty minutes is a long time to be standing around looking for an
opportunity to swing. -- Break Point
Euroq -- Well, I'm glad that I made it out that fight alive, what's done is done now.
Hope we don't have to go through all that again. -- Quar-ral
Earl & Sissy -- I'm surprised, thought you might of had some more wind in you then
that. -- Galoot
Quietus -- Quit being so quiet in this arena. Speak up and let the managers and
warriors of this arena hear you scream. Galoot, we endured, but you are clearly the
more enduring. -- Earl & Sissy
Smiling Mountain -- You keep on smiling and heading back for more. You hear? -- Davy
Privette
O.K., DeGotti, I was good enough to beat Veteran Mercenary. That's good? -- Glow-
Room (outta here)
Break Point -- Phbttttttt! -- Dr. Steinburger (MR. to you.)
Mr. De Gotti -- I appreciated the "sly fox" connotation. (Especially as compared to
"sly old fox".) Baiting? Tsk, tsk. Temptation would have been a 3-2 favorite. --
Fandil The Wise
Lori Collin -- You are so wrong and unfair. I am a well respected dentist. -- Dr.
Steinburger
DeGotti -- Number to DM, you asked? A few years ago we could have told you exactly,
but then retirement claimed all detailed information. Overall, we were past 400 Lord
Protectors, and an estimated 25+ here in Ardivent, Arena Of The Red Sands. -- Fandil
The Wise
Eclipse -- Since Fiiz's death was on my challenge I will not BF all four turns. Just
a turn or two or until I avenge his death. -- DeGotti
Fiiz's numbers 9(1)-12-10-15-17-13-9 SL. In retrospect I probably should of made it
a lunger but I was on a SL kick when I made him I think. Sadly he was one of the
better warriors, numbers wise, on this team. Certainly the replacement is by far
inferior.
Quar-ral -- I have gotten better. Our first meeting I wasn't able to hit you; this
time I was able to hit you a fair amount. -- Euroq
WOF -- Glow-Room's numbers are very similar to the ones that make up my team here. --
DeGotti
For those who are interested -- Bucking Brahma 14(+1)-10-15-15-9-11-11 BA; hosed in
damage (only good); +4 init and +2 attack; used quarterstaff well @ 37-172-17,
but.... Finished with 4 adexes (3 offensives and riposte) and the faves were
WF/mod/low/riposte. -- Fandil The Wise
Azgud -- Well, heck, I guess you are. -- Becker Collin
Noble Assassin. Oh, well, it beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. -- Lori
Collin
Dread -- Sorry, that is not in my job description. -- Jacinthe
Hellspawn -- Gotta tell you, most men wouldn't see that as being attractive and
womanly, gal. -- Coolin Scot
Thorn -- Well, gosh! That sure wasn't a bed of roses! -- Debra Conklin

The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are off to a grand start! With seventeen teams
declared, running under eight different flags (not to mention six additional non-
