SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DAL SHANG, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Nothing is certain in DAL SHANG, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--MIGHTY DUCKS.
What's a move up by 3 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for
celebration, according to SAND DANCERS. SAND DANCERS had cause to celebrate, after
JERI TAVAN got 19 points by beating LENDO TEN CHARDIN. TEBAS TEN KOGAN certainly had
a baffled expression on his face, after losing to DARK WING and losing 10 points in
the process! A certain someone saw VELVET CRUSH at The Blazing Unicorn with the
shakes, and now she fails to show up to defend hers throne. What a pathetic slob!
In DAL SHANG, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new
Duelmaster, $1.25 Q-STAFF. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls
and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and TEBAS
TEN KOGAN is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't SAND DANCERS proud!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! The audience
gave a nice round of rasberries to YOIKS! of MIGHTY DUCKS, for expiring in such an
ungraceful fashion. 4-6-0, indeed! 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. More important duties call me. Like a
mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid DAL SHANG farewell-- Novgorodny
Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Chaddeaux Noire -- So, tell me, is that supposed to be pronounced "Shadow Nor"?
Because one of my teammates (I won't say which one) told me it was actually some kind
of wine. Seems unlikely to me, but who knows about foreign names, eh? -- Tebas ten
Kogan
Widowmaker -- You might want to rethink that. Husband-slayers are often required by
local custom and even by LAW to support the widows, you know. -- Kassal ten Dru
P.S. Besides, you have an unlucky number.
Johnny Sin -- What kind of sin? If it's something interesting, well, I'd be
interested. -- Ko Lao-Den
P.S. I hate being a golem. Anything to liven up my existence could be good.
One skill? And Mim wouldn't even tell me how she gets her hair that color. There's
got to be some trick to it. -- Jeri Tavan
Blackthorn -- Madam, I hope and trust that you will not reveal to that bigoted
refugee that I, too, am Aruaki. I never set out to be, so it's hardly MY fault. --
Jaego Sarl
Dark Wing -- The only good duck is roasted. -- Gobarl the really annoyed
P.S. With oranges.
Damn those Chardinees, anyway! -- Dakoril
P.S. I nearly DIED, and he didn't teach me a single skill.
Yoiks! -- You're still not a duck. -- Ragolas
Deadwood -- (recoiling) You're (gasp) one of those were-cats? How horrible! Why
are you allowed the freedom of the city, you freak? You should be in a cage until
you can be deported. -- Sigban the bigoted
Lady Protector Velvet Crush -- First, let me congratulate you for having lasted this
long. Second, let me assure you that you will always be welcome here in Dal Shang,
provided you don't commit any crimes, of course. And third, I must tell you that by
order of the Lord Governor, we are not giving away land to gladiators who go away to
the Isle and never return. Absentee-landlordism leads to terrible abuses of
property, and we have found, on the whole, that gladiators tend to be the most absent
of landlords. Please accept, instead, this fine sword made specially for you and
engraved with the symbols of luck and fortitude. -- Tolmas ten Samrein,
Undersecretary to Lord Governor Segan tel Jehsian
5 October 2005
To those once of Willaf -- It's time to come back to the sands. I'm back,
exclusively at Willaf.... -- Kurd the Vivisectionist, Your Better
12 October 2005
Magic Man -- You are a fellow Canadian, are you not? Where do you hail from? I live
in Kelowna, B.C. -- Maximillian, 8,13, 28, 47, 54
