SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DAL SHANG, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! The boys at SAND DANCERS left the arena dejected,
after being kicked out of the top spot by MIGHTY DUCKS. Good show! Good things come
to those who fight well, as POSSE can attest, moving up by 1. Practice pays for
GUNSMOKE, who pummelled MERRO DOSH, to pocket 21 points. Win some, lose some.
Speaking of which, DERRINGER was winsome, after beating JOEVINA SARIL and seeing her
lose 15 points. SWEET ANELLA found out that DAL SHANG isn't a democracy. You've
gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one team in DAL SHANG is taking
speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas?
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an
unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in DAL SHANG is the highlight of my life. My fingers
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable
character. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid DAL SHANG
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Dilbert -- Darn. I never managed cubes. Just kind of lumpy squadges. -- Merro Dosh
P.S. But the bedrest was good. Thanks.
P.P.S. For not killing me.
Korka the Hairy -- You're a pest, and something really nasty should happen to you in
an alley. -- Killian ten Vir
Better Duck -- Oh, cheese, good advice! Too bad I didn't take it, huh? -- Lorin ten
Koro
P.S. I don't see why you couldn't just stay down and let me win the fight, though.
I had it in the bag until you stood up again. Drat.
P.P.S. Which I guess translates as "Good fight."
Gunsmoke -- (frowning) Couldn't you put, I don't know, a catalytic converter, or an
exhaust scrubber, or something on that smoky old thing? It's air pollution! --
Joevina Saril
P.S. And it was a really bad match for you. There are days like that. Not that *I*
am complaining, I got a WIN, after all.
Standbys, gotta love 'em. -- Karzin Tyrn
P.S. At least I BEAT mine, Killian. Ha!
Korka the Hairy -- False beard? Cool! It seems a very good one. Where do you get
it? -- Joevina Saril, thinking of practical jokes she could play
Merro Dosh -- I've been to Paidan, too. Once. I'm not going back. -- Sagat of
Paidan
Lorin ten Koro -- And expose our families to the hostility of losing gladiators? As
if! -- "Korka the Hairy"
Tyger Fish Hammer -- Ha. Meet me in private where I don't have to fight with just
two fingers, and we'll see what happens! -- Herrol Two-finger
P.S. Or maybe I'll switch masks with Korka the Hairy and do some serious damage....
Lion Heart Hammer -- Try and get your pots mended after that, eh? I'm a union
tinker, and we don't go for this rough stuff by the customers. -- Bervan the Tinker
Karzin Tyrn -- One of these days, if you survive, you might be good. You're barely
adequate right now. -- Polwhis the Candle
Killian ten Vir -- Believe it, turkey. -- Korka the Hairy
All -- It's a bit late, but here was Friar Duck: 11-16-5-21-15-5-11 PS Good end/
normal dmg; skills: 20/(10 est)/17/19/(16-17)/25; blessed/hosed: init/att/par were
mode; rip (-1,+2) undetermined; def (+3,+4) unconfirmed; +2 dec. His peculiar
combination of skills and hit points may make it worth a dead tourney run. -- Woody
