                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of LIN TIRIAN.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  SAND DANCERS had 
cause to celebrate, after AVRIL HOUND got 10 points by beating BLADES.  JUSTINE 
certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to AMBITIOUS GUARD and 
losing 7 points in the process!  In LIN TIRIAN, nothing is permanent (except Death), 
and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, L H OSWALD.  Word has it one team in LIN 
TIRIAN 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?  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of FAMOUS ARCHERS, alone and unchallenged.  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of FURY'S EDGE, so did that sorry team 
shy from FAMOUS ARCHERS Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and AVRIL HOUND 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!  Oh hard!  that 
to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As the seasons change, and the creatures of the 
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Do not despair!  I 
shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
