                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ILLIS, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  He who laughs last didn't get the joke.  Speaking of 
laughing at jokes, observe CHAPEL ROCK.  Last week they got 0-0-0 to drop by 4!  
NEXUS 5 had cause to celebrate, after AZA CHORN got 21 points by beating TOM BLIGH.  
A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 7 
points to AZA CHORN.  (Discrete enough, TOM BLIGH?) Can you believe it?  RAIGEKI 
apparently has better things to do as ILLIS' Duelmaster than show up and fight!  What 
can be a greater victory?  SHOO-CHA has taken hers place as the top, as ILLIS' new 
Duelmaster.  So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and 
challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     So much to report, so little time!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in 
IMPROVED ILLUSION are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  
The warriors of IMPROVED ILLUSION found their efforts at combat frustrated as 
BASHAHOLICS ANON apparently had more important things to do than fight.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Questions are being 
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in 
ILLIS would I avoid!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  More important duties call me.  Do not despair!  
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

We congratulate Zaruko and Hellpop. -- the Islanders

Lothar Dyfonate -- Definitely a villain, trying to bury me in the sand! Not suitable 
for a fish or a starfish. -- Starfish

Swordgrave -- Your whole name is under Jorja's left hand and hard for her to type on a 
bad hand day.  I hope you going into a grave is truly an illusion. -- Oil Spill

Zaruko -- I didn't expect to win that, and I did not win it.  Ouch. -- Harbor Seal, 
feeling like an endangered species

I don't know what battles that mercenary was a veteran of, probably all garrison duty. 
-- Shoo-Cha

Jubei -- Thanks for the win and the skills. -- Tom Bligh

Since we had a few too many volunteers, the Frost Giant mission is now closed.  Those 
who were not taken will be first considered in the next mission.  And thank you!  -- 
Keel Woodhaven
