                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Practice pays for TONG PAK FU, who pummelled 
LEVANDAR, to pocket 14 points.  LEVANDAR certainly had a baffled expression on his 
face, after losing to TONG PAK FU and losing 12 points in the process!  Like a 
flirtacious debutante, TROCAR's Duelmaster ALBERT found himself the man of the hour, 
being "invited to dance" 2 times!  You could cut the tension with a scimitar as CAO 
ZHENG of ASIAN INVASION met the Duelmaster.  What can be a greater victory?  CAO 
ZHENG has taken his place as the top, as TROCAR's new Duelmaster.  Word has it one 
team in TROCAR is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Ask not for 
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Do not think spyreporting in TROCAR is the highlight of my life.  As the seasons 
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave 
this place.  TROCAR, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at 
The Dripping Blade.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Our congratulations to Deng Fei and Tian Uh. -- Jorja and the Traders of Trocar
P.S.  Plus, we salute the tourney participants.

Deng Fei -- The crowds are strange, are they not?  They can hardly have had time
to SEE the fight, much less be pleased by it. -- Allerdae Chan

Quiong Ying -- Ah... how do you pronounce that?  I don't really "do" foreign
names. -- Worzeel
P.S.  My teammates say that's because I'm dumb.  Could be.  But if I were dumb,
I wouldn't know it, would I?

Cult Members.  Bah.  No meat on them. -- Levandar

Tong Pak Fu -- I was going to say, "Oh, darn, the Kung-Fu Master," but you're
someone else.  So how about, "Oh, darn, Tong Pak Fu"?  Ouch. -- Aline Taras

Trocaran Deserter.  He should die. -- Harazim Koreh
