SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of ROCANIS. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Practice pays for
OVERHAUL, who pummelled DANDY FREW, to pocket 17 points. A certain someone should
cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 7 points to OVERHAUL.
(Discrete enough, DANDY FREW?) Now I can't insult TWIG LITE ZONE, as he has
gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on
too thick) Word has it one team in ROCANIS is taking speech lessons to try to bore
their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from
the lion, so did the "warriors" in ROCANIS avoid KNIGHTS OF ROCANIS. Like a pup with
its tail between its legs, INCONSISTENT FURY scurried away from KNIGHTS OF ROCANIS.
Oh, the shame! As a confidence booster, MOSSIE ROCKTROLL challenged ELLYN GRUNE,
down 24 points. Do you also slay vicious rodents in your spare time, MOSSIE
ROCKTROLL? Next time MOSSIE ROCKTROLL walks with his head high remind him of the
fight where he challenged down 24 points and lost to ELLYN GRUNE. Take heed ROCANIS,
of the unprincipled action of TWIG LITE ZONE. By challenging CHARLIE EKSA, 24 points
below him, TWIG LITE ZONE besmirches the noble art of dueling. TWIG LITE ZONE
defeated CHARLIE EKSA. The whole thing leaves a bitter memory.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Never one to
advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see KNIGHTS OF ROCANIS retaliate
against INCONSISTENT FURY in bloodfeud! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match
itself must needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! As the seasons change, and the creatures of the
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. ROCANIS, I leave you
now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Wanton Troll. 'Til next
time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Middle Way -- Hello and welcome to Rocanis we hope U shall enjoy your stay. --
Inconsistent Fury
The Passing Commission -- Ahh nevermid I was seeing things that weren't really there.
-- Banth
New glasses?
Purple Kitten -- Er. Hi? Um, I mean, well, what do I say? You're such a cute
little thing, the first I set eyes on when we got here, and I'd like to invite, well,
anywhere. But I don't know where the good food is, except at my guildhouse, we've
got some FINE cooks, but the place is a MESS. You would not BELIEVE what a mess
those bums before us left. But, um, ah, could I walk you home or something? --
Charlie Eksa
Mossie Rocktroll -- Wow, I didn't know a troll could teach that well. I presume you
won't take it amiss if next time we're matched I bring a pickaxe? -- Ellyn Grune
P.S. After all, skills are fine, but winning's even finer.
Airslicer Dan -- Huh? What's the good of slicing air? What can you do with it? Air
sandwiches? Air paneling in the common room? I'm not getting this whole air-slicing
thing. -- Abelinda Chase
Retiarius -- Absolutely not! Fishnet stockings are seriously uncomfortable, as you'd
know if you ever tried wearing any. -- Dililah Frann
Overhaul -- I'll overhaul you, dammit. Yes, okay, it wasn't you (was it?) who told
the idiots at the Commission that I'm a dwarf, but you're handy and I *will* smash
something, I am so mad! -- Dandy Frew
Twig Lite Zone -- (long-distance sneer) And I'm graduating anyway. -- Hawthorn
