                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of SHADOWSPIRE.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Nothing is certain 
in SHADOWSPIRE, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new 
top team--CLAN LONGBEARD.  KILL 'EM ALL after a sorry 0-0-0 might want to consider 
abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues!  Nothing 
works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as BIG LAKE 
SOLUTION can attest...  NBA LEGENDS posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd.  Everybody 
loves a winner...  NBA LEGENDS had cause to celebrate, after WILT THE STILT got 27 
points by beating CATERINA SFORZA.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking 
and practice more, after losing 18 points to FASTRADA.  (Discrete enough, RICH HOYT?) 
The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as SCRIPTORIA faced SHADOWSPIRE's 
Duelmaster.  DOCTOR J successfully staved off a grab for the roses by SCRIPTORIA of 
DARQUE AGES.  Does SHADOWSPIRE have no one talented enough to dethrone him?  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?  Perhaps the warriors of KILL 'EM ALL should take 
up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of KILL 'EM ALL 
found their efforts at combat frustrated as DARQUE AGES apparently had more important 
things to do than fight.  If challenges were horses, RAYMOND CARVER could open up a 
fast food joint!  My love of complete Spyreports dictates that I note the mismatched 
fight, RINGIL and BROKEN.  Are MIRKWOOD ORCS unwilling to engage in a fair fight?  I 
thought RINGIL showed great skill and promise when he won victory over BROKEN.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Alas, poor CATERINA SFORZA.  We all know DARQUE AGES' retirement plan isn't the best 
in the world.  WILT THE STILT, may you be as missed when your time comes.  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.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  SHADOWSPIRE, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at 
Otto's Diner.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
