                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of SNOWBOUND.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  DARQUE THEORY 
posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd.  Everybody loves a winner...  MIDDLE WAY 6 had 
cause to celebrate, after VIOLA WING got 18 points by beating CAPTURED ORC.  HAILEY 
ICEWIND certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to CRESCENDO 
and losing 6 points in the process!  Can you believe it?  FROZEN GHOST apparently has 
better things to do as SNOWBOUND's Duelmaster than show up and fight!  In SNOWBOUND, 
nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, 
CRESCENDO.  So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging 
dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     So much to report, so little time!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in BOOK 
OF THOMAS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  Like a pup 
with its tail between its legs, OPEN SESAME scurried away from BOOK OF THOMAS.  Oh, 
the shame!  Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral 
hygiene?  Whatever it is, OLIVER QUEEN is the most challenged warrior.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  NEWLIN OHM of MIDDLE 
WAY 6, possessing a sorry record of 14-43-0, lost his last battle to BARKLEY of OPEN 
SESAME.  Young warriors, take note!  Such is a failure's lot!  Questions are being 
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in 
SNOWBOUND would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  As the seasons change, and the creatures 
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  SNOWBOUND, I 
leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Victory Tavern.  
'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
