                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  What's a move up by 3 you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause 
for celebration, according to CYGNUS.  Good things come to those who fight well, as 
OTTO'S PARTS can attest, moving up by 3.  CYGNUS had cause to celebrate, after KAPPA 
CYGNI got 23 points by beating SER VON DARKMOOR.  A certain someone should cut down 
on the drinking and practice more, after losing 16 points to KAPPA CYGNI.  (Discrete 
enough, SER VON DARKMOOR?) In FRATSFA, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we 
find ourselves a new Duelmaster, SER ILYN PAYNE.  So who's the team that's been 
walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of IRON CATHEDRAL, alone and unchallenged.  Like 
a pup with its tail between its legs, ASSASSIN NATION scurried away from IRON 
CATHEDRAL.  Oh, the shame!  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and VERN WULF is 
it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't MIDDLE WAY 8 proud!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Justice was 
served as FURY fought ST. PRAXEDES in bloodfeud.  Well done, ASSASSIN NATION!  Ask 
not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into 
an unconscious stupor.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my 
control, I must take my leave of this place.  FRATSFA, I leave you now.  The 
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Victory Tavern.  'Til next time-- 
Novgorodny Vir
