SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon JURINE, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Nothing is certain in JURINE, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--BLADE AND BLOOD.
Good things come to those who fight well, as SAMNITES can attest, moving up by 1.
BLADE AND BLOOD had cause to celebrate, after SIBI EL KEER got 15 points by beating
YAREON ZED. PARLEN QUIR certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing
to THE USEROUS MERCHANT and losing 15 points in the process! Like a flirtacious
debutante, JURINE's Duelmaster SNOTMAN found himself the man of the hour, being
"invited to dance" 2 times! Well, Duelmaster SNOTMAN TV challenged BLADE AND BLOOD's
XANDER HAXAN. Is a 10-0-0 good enough? Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were
disappointed by XANDER HAXAN, of BLADE AND BLOOD, who despite a 15-19-3 couldn't
overcome JURINE's Number 1. Word has it one team in JURINE 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! Perhaps the warriors of BLADE AND
BLOOD should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like a pup
with its tail between its legs, I HATE THEM TOO scurried away from BLADE AND BLOOD.
Oh, the shame!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Perhaps BLADE AND BLOOD were the only ones left untouched by YAREON ZED
demise. Can anyone ever take his place? Or do I exaggerate? Questions are being
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in
JURINE would I avoid!
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. JURINE, I leave
you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Welcome Wench. 'Til next
time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Our turn envelope burst open in the post office (or so I'm told, I wasn't there), and
a lot of turns fell out. Some--not all--of the fights and other pages showed up at
the guildhouse about five days later. If there's something missing from our
personals, blame it on the post office, okay? We're doing our best here. -- Jorja,
the Middle Way
And the initiatory sentence for today is: Those in the stands shift their attention
to the warriors. What was it on before, that's what I want to know. -- Jorja
Sibi el Keer -- I could have gone along quite happily without this loss, you know. --
Verelle Wist
P.S. You're jealous because I'm an elf and thus more beautiful, aren't you? No need
to deny it, I can tell.
P.P.S. The crowd had a lot of nerve, chanting insults! They're jealous, too.
The Dangerous Criminal has fans? What for? He's a crook, and dangerous besides.
Fans are just an encouragement. Somebody should smack him upside-- Oh, right, *I*
smacked him upside the head. Well, good. Go, me! -- Parlen Quir
P.S. This "excitement spreads through the stands" bit. What does it mean? It makes
excitement sound like, I dunno, a smokebomb or something.
Huh! The "Khalhums Dwarf" isn't a dwarf at all, and he can't fight like one, either.
He was a creampuff. -- Tillise Ulam
P.S. "The action spellbinds the arena audience." Meaning our movements somehow
triggered a spell? Spooky. Probably illegal, too.
The Veteran Mercenary grinned maniacally. No way I'm going to stay in the arena with
an armed maniac. Of COURSE I surrendered. -- Yareon Zed
Mikah Abados -- Oh, drat. Just what I needed, a real opponent. This is no way to
begin the summer, let me tell you! Come to that, aren't you beginning your summer
with a lie? Not a good plan. The Gods of Truth and Decency will GET you for that.
-- Roekfort Sims
P.S. The lie: You said I was a fine opponent. Surely you know better!
P.P.S. I can get by just FINE without EVER seeing your "special move again.
Mikai Abados -- I plant the marshmallows between the sweet potatoes, and they do just
fine.
One Userous Merchant Among a Powerful Clan of Them -- Oh, yeah? -- Verelle Wist
Quintus -- Listen, if you'd grown up an outsider in Mordant, you'd've left, too! --
Dubric, refugee from Mordant
Severius -- Hey, I didn't mean it personally against you! -- Liam of Murska, Creative
Accountant
P.S. I thought I was just hitting the insurance company, which is fair game.
Ghost of Odalisque -- I was annoyed, okay? I got carried away. -- Dubric, refugee
from Mordant
P.S. You should've been wearing more armor.
Titus -- It would been FINE if you'd just given me a little cash. -- Pock the Mule,
Beggar Extraordinaire
Yareon Zed -- Believe it, turkey. -- Sonjin K'feer, Veteran Mercenary
Tillise Ulam -- If I hadn't choked on the fake beard, I might've had you. -- Doun
Glass, Khalhums Dwarf
Parlen Quir -- You just got lucky, bub. -- Jontek the Black, Dangerous Criminal and
Don't You Forget It
