                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon FRATSFA, for 
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Say what you will about blind luck and dirty 
fighting, but IRON CATHEDRAL will tell you 308-278-23 is nothing to laugh at...  
MIDDLE WAY 8 had cause to celebrate, after XAVIER YANG got 24 points by beating 
ABLUTION.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, XAVIER YANG was winsome, after 
beating ABLUTION and seeing her lose 20 points.  In FRATSFA, nothing is permanent 
(except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, MAIDEN ALLOY.  Word has it 
one team in FRATSFA is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  
I'll bet it works.   
     And how sociable are FRATSFA's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Perhaps the 
warriors of IRON CATHEDRAL should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided 
team...  Like a pup with its tail between its legs, OTTO'S PARTS scurried away from 
IRON CATHEDRAL.  Oh, the shame!  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and UMBERTO 
VINE is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't MIDDLE WAY 8 proud!  TWO HANDS 
challenged ST. PRAXEDES!  Who says OTTO'S PARTS are just a bunch of wimps!  TWO HANDS 
of OTTO'S PARTS kept its wits as it lost to ST. PRAXEDES.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Ask not a spymaster 
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious 
stupor.   
     All good things must come to an end.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for FRATSFA?  On 
that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Two Hands -- It isn't always easy looking for a favorite weapon, or so I'm told; I've 
never tried looking for one before. -- St. Praxedes 

Two Hands -- That was an unexpected but welcome victory.  I only wish I had been 
training skills rather than so focused on my physical improvement. -- Agnostic Acolyte

Visiting Orcs, Happy Peasants, and Friendly Constables?  What warp-crazed land have we 
stepped foot upon that has such things?!?! - Adepta Sororitas

Deneb -- I was mesmerized by your swan-like moves. -- Ferny Ross, apparently the wrong 
half of an elf

Kentucky Owl -- You neuter golems, no judgment.  I had the experience edge all the 
way. -- Xeno Yole, the right half of an elf

Ablution -- I didn't mean to make such a splashing at it, but if you can overlook 
that, we might try abluting together.  I know a good stream nearby. -- Tennessee Smith

Maiden Alloy -- You're a delicate little thing, but MUCH too hot for me. -- Xavier 
Yang

Zinc Prebster -- I always suspected zinc was dangerous.  Now I know. -- Umberto Vine
