I suppose I have to write a column, but after posting that long, old story, I am kinda tired. And fighting that Kung-Fu guy wore me down even more. I tried to learn from him; I listened well; but he was yelling out these phrases that I couldn't understand, so I was glad when it was all over. It would be kinda nice if there were more managers and teams and warriors in this arena. I like a good fight. Maybe Slugbait's guy will provide a challenge. After all, he has me style beaten all to kingdom come. We shall see. Later, all. Life Scout DMII SPY REPORT Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! OLDIES had cause to celebrate, after SPORT got 21 points by beating THE USEROUS MERCHANT. CIRCLE K certainly had a baffled expression on its face, after losing to VIRGINAL GIGOLO and losing 18 points in the process! LIFE SCOUT successfully staved off a grab for the roses by SAM TALL of MIDDLE WAY 21. Does TELORINTHE have no one talented enough to dethrone him? 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 TELORINTHE's warriors? Come, let us see. Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in TELORINTHE avoid PUNY ORC PELOTON. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of OLDIES, so did that sorry team shy from PUNY ORC PELOTON Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, MELANIE OBERN is the most challenged warrior. Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Charity is unknown in TELORINTHE, and rightly so. PUNY ORC PELOTON exacted their revenge against MIDDLE WAY 21. Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in TELORINTHE would I avoid! All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for TELORINTHE?

I can't wait until I move up the ranks and get to fight some of those harder NPCs. (wink) -- Sport Kung Fu Master -- You are not! -- Circle K Virginal Gigolo -- Hmmmmm. I don't know what to say. Would it hurt your feelings if I said, "You were easy?" -- Contract Bridge Probably. He's a delicate flower. Khalhum's Dwarf -- What can I say? You dusted my mantle. -- Custodian Kung-Fu Master -- I am always pleased to win a match with one of your style. -- Life Scout Oldies -- A 4-1 is good. I am proud of you all. Health. Humility. Honor. -- Coach Sam Tall -- Much closer than I would have liked. The style difference helped overcome the difference in total fights. -- Roid Petro Salm -- If you just kept trying and sure enough you broke through my giant wall of shield. -- Bad Basso Melanie -- Well that is rude! No way to treat a little guy like Levi. -- slugbait Tamarind -- Almost had me but I stabbed you in the back. -- Turncoat Sport -- Not very sporting of me. I hadn't finish digesting my dinner when you beat me to a mince meat. -- Beef Coach -- Lost count but you are just kicking the stuffing out of me. Let's call it 7-1 for you and I'll find a way to dig myself out of this hole. -- Sluggy Custodian -- You polished the floor too much, and I slipped and fell down the stairs and broke my neck. -- Ghost of Rosana Sabel Life Scout -- Well, I suppose, but eating the clock gave me SUCH indigestion, you can't imagine! -- Sam Tall Contract Bridge -- No, it is NOT all in the cards. It's how you play the hand, and I fluffed it. -- Melanie Obern Roid Floyd -- Oh, no! Subdued by a puny orc! The shame! -- Sam Tall Bad Bad Basso -- You SQUEAKED at me! That was just wrong. Way too puny. -- Petro Salm Liliputain Levi and slugbait -- Sorry about that. I didn't realize HOW puny some of your orcs are. -- Melanie Obern Postal Turncoat -- Like that, huh? Maybe I was too hasty in signing up. -- Tamarind Ulrik The Mordant Deserter insulted me. It isn't my fault I'm a golem, I had no choice in the matter. -- Olovor Paris LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS ROID FLOYD devastated MELANIE OBERN in a 1 minute mismatched Bloodfeud fight. LIFE SCOUT outwaited SAM TALL in a monotonous 10 minute expert's Title battle. CIRCLE K was overpowered by VIRGINAL GIGOLO in a 2 minute mismatched duel. CONTRACT BRIDGE devastated VETERAN MERCENARY in a 1 minute one-sided fight. CUSTODIAN subdued KUNG-FU MASTER in a crowd pleasing 1 minute competition. PETRO SALM lost to BAD BAD BASSO in a crowd pleasing 3 minute fight. SPORT overpowered THE USEROUS MERCHANT in a 2 minute mismatched brawl. SPANISH BEEF defeated TAMARIND URLIK in a 3 minute melee. OLOVOR PARIS was vanquished by POSTAL TURNCOAT in a 1 minute uneven duel. OMEGA OMERTA won victory over PERSISTANT BEGGAR in a dull 4 minute beginner's fight.
