                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of TROCAR.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Nothing is certain in 
TROCAR, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top 
team--TRADERS OF TROCAR.  BOOK OF THOMAS had cause to celebrate, after RUSSIAN 
LULLABY got 19 points by beating DISSOLVABLE DIAPER.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking 
of which, DARRIN HORROCKS 2 was winsome, after beating ESCUZME and seeing him lose 12 
points.  IMAI found out being TROCAR's Duelmaster isn't all nuts and berries, 
receiving 4 challenges!  You could cut the tension with a scimitar as NERF GUN of 
USELESS TOOLS met the Duelmaster.  IMAI successfully staved off a grab for the roses 
by NERF GUN of USELESS TOOLS.  Does TROCAR have no one talented enough to dethrone 
her?  Word has it one team in TROCAR is taking speech lessons to try to bore their 
opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     And how sociable are TROCAR's warriors?  Come, let us see.  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, USELESS TOOLS scurried away 
from BOOK OF THOMAS.  Oh, the shame!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Those who owe 
POWERLESS AMP of USELESS TOOLS money and had written it off, take note:  it'S BACK 
FROM THE DARK ARENA!!!  AND it'S MAD!!!  Questions are being raised about the 
disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in TROCAR would I 
avoid!   
     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
