SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ROCANIS, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Good things come to those who fight well, as
MIDDLE WAY 20 can attest, moving up by 0. MIDDLE WAY 20 had cause to celebrate,
after EBRIA GANNET got 18 points by beating BALZEC. Win some, lose some. Speaking
of which, EBRIA GANNET was winsome, after beating BALZEC and seeing him lose 14
points. Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by RIA ROSEDANCER, of
INCONSISTENT FURY, who despite a 17-10-2 couldn't overcome ROCANIS' Number 1. Word
has it one team in ROCANIS is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed
life!
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys
in THEM are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. The warriors
of THEM found their efforts at combat frustrated as INCONSISTENT FURY apparently had
more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses, FONZETH HILGRA
could open up a fast food joint!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! NAIRON in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for FONZETH HILGRA of INCONSISTENT
FURY. Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at The Wanton Troll will be! Questions are
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain
tavern in ROCANIS would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. 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
Banthius -- Thank you for the warm welcome. As it happens, I import my pirates from
the dungeons of the Delarquan Federation, so the absence of any bodies of water is
not a concern. In fact, the city being surrounded by an ocean of sand might be a
good influence on my gladiators. They should be less tempted to escape to their old
ways. Most captured pirates face a fate far worse than gladiatorial combat so you
would think that they'd be grateful, but there is no changing human nature. -- One
Armed Bandit, mgr of Sea Dogs
Smash -- I couldn't lay a hand on you. I'm going to have to bone up before we meet
again. -- Anchor Thrower
We were going to do "not much in the way of personals" again and blame it on the
cold, but it doesn't look like Jorja's going to let us get away with that. Damn. --
the Middle Way
Fonzeth Hilgra -- Oh, well. It's been that kind of week for several days already. --
Ebria Gannet
Ria Rosedancer -- Well, you're in fine fettle today! Good thing one of us was. --
Abelinda Chase
P.S. I know the "too cold" excuse isn't flying with Jorja, but it really IS too
cold. I had intended to go south for the winter, I'd asked Debby Tonte for
directions to some good sunny beaches, but I just couldn't seem to scrape together
the cash.
Darned Rirorni Thug. He doesn't have the wit to teach anything. -- Debra Farin
At least the Ambitious Guard was bit better in that department. -- Erbin Goetz
Rabid Gophers worry me. What if they bite and give ME rabies? -- Frem Harid
Ria Rosedancer -- Nope, didn't hear a thing. Probably because of the banana in my
ear. -- Frem Harid
Fonzeth Hilgra -- That's because fighting isn't about thinking, it all happens from
the spinal reflexes. Who needs a head for that? -- Abelinda Chase
Our congratulations to Fonzeth Hilgra. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
Splat -- Why don't you go ahead and graduate? -- Balzec
Ebria Gannet -- Ahh thanks for aranging my invite, I -YES!- am now Imoratal. --
Fonzeth Hilgra
Abelinda Chase -- A tough loss for you, but I think before long you'll be putting
together a nice set of wings. -- Ria Rosedancer
Frem Harid -- Hey, member 'bout that small wager we made, oh so long ago, when we
were standing in line to register with the gladiator commission? He he, hope to see
ya at the Isle soon so I can collect. -- Fonzeth Hilgra
Monsters of the Dark -- I've been issued a torch, and my favorite weapon, finally.
Who shall match with me? -- Fonzeth
Your favorite opponent?
