                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  The boys at ISLE OF SKYE left the arena 
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by BASHAHOLICS ANON.  Good show!  
Practice pays for TOM BLIGH, who pummelled JAR OF CLAY, to pocket 21 points.  Win 
some, lose some.  Speaking of which, TOM BLIGH was winsome, after beating JAR OF CLAY 
and seeing it lose 19 points.  Like a flirtacious debutante, ILLIS' Duelmaster JESUS 
MOOTZ 'O'PAIA found himself the man of the hour, being "invited to dance" 4 times!  
Well, Duelmaster JESUS MOOTZ 'O'PAIA Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's CHOKEBOT 
2000.  Is a 20-16-0 good enough?  CHOKEBOT 2000 found out that ILLIS isn't a 
democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  Word has it one team in 
ILLIS 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 ISLE OF SKYE are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  Like 
a pup with its tail between its legs, BASHAHOLICS ANON scurried away from ISLE OF 
SKYE.  Oh, the shame!  Willing to win at any cost is DISCIPLE, who challenged NEW 
RIFF, 9 points junior.  Our sympathies, NEW RIFF!  I thought DISCIPLE showed great 
skill and promise when he was bested by NEW RIFF.  All right, so I slept through it!  
Big deal!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  CHOKEBOT 2000 
in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for JESUS MOOTZ 'O'PAIA of ISLE OF SKYE.  Maybe that 
certain serving girl(?) at The Dripping Blade will be!  Questions are being raised 
about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in ILLIS 
would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
