                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Nothing is certain in ILLIS, with changing loyalties, changing 
Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--ISLANDERS.  What's a move up by 4 you 
ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to ISLANDERS. 
CLAN DREKMOOR had cause to celebrate, after RAGEFIRE got 10 points by beating MORDANT 
DESERTER.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after 
losing 2 points to OIL SPILL.  (Discrete enough, WARBEAST?) A certain someone saw 
RIVER RAT at The Welcome Wench with the shakes, and now she fails to show up to 
defend hers throne.  What a pathetic slob!  In ILLIS, nothing is permanent (except 
Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, NEED A FIX.  Word has it one team in 
ILLIS is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it 
works.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the 
lion, so did the "warriors" in ILLIS avoid BOOK OF THOMAS.  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of CLAN DREKMOOR, so did that sorry team shy from BOOK 
OF THOMAS  
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  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.  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant 
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  ILLIS, I leave 
you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Welcome Wench.  'Til next 
time-- Novgorodny Vir
