                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  SAND DANCERS had cause to celebrate, after DIM 
LI got 16 points by beating TASOR FACE.  ROXY MUSIC certainly had a baffled 
expression on his face, after losing to SPRANG and losing 7 points in the process!  
Can you believe it?  IRONIC IRONY apparently has better things to do as DAL SHANG's 
Duelmaster than show up and fight!  In DAL SHANG, nothing is permanent (except 
Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, GAMMA VELORUM.  So who's the team 
that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt 
to me.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Never one to advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see SAND 
DANCERS retaliate against THE MOTHERSHIP CE in bloodfeud!  Oh hard!  that to strike a 
flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in DAL SHANG is the highlight of my life.  As the 
seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to 
leave this place.  DAL SHANG, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my 
bill at The Blazing Unicorn.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
