                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of DAL SHANG.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  TOLBIN'S GEMS?  
Who?  MEDAL OF HONOR C11 is the top team these days, buddies!  What's a move up by 3 
you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to MEDAL 
OF HONOR C11.  Practice pays for GORBAN TEN SKORA, who pummelled DRIVING A ROLLS, to 
pocket 20 points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice 
more, after losing 10 points to NORBEN THE LESSER.  (Discrete enough, WAYNE BENT?) 
SERGEANT 7 found out that DAL SHANG isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to 
be Duelmaster here!  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and 
ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     And how sociable are DAL SHANG's warriors?  Come, let us see.  To quell some 
nasty rumors, the guys in SAND DANCERS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No 
need to avoid 'em.  Like a pup with its tail between its legs, BASH BROS EVANGELIST 
scurried away from SAND DANCERS.  Oh, the shame!  Is it charming personality?  
Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, SERGEANT 7 is the most 
challenged warrior.   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
The manager at BASH BROS EVANGELIST must have some new strategy for sending MATTHEW 
HALE, a warrior with 4-1-1, to the Dark Arena.  Watch this space!  Questions are 
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain 
tavern in DAL SHANG would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  Can anything compare to the pleasure 
of writing Spyreports for DAL SHANG?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny 
Vir

Three wins over standbys, two losses to managed gladiators.  Why am I not surprised?
I think I should graduate.  There's nothing against me but my style.  If the Grey
Witch didn't want total parries on the Isle, why did she make a place for them in the
gladiatorial system?  Maybe I should train up my WT so as to make a second rating
more likely.  Hmm. -- Kaldan ten Karan
