                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  The boys at WETWORKS left the arena dejected, 
after being kicked out of the top spot by BAD SIGNS.  Good show!  BAD SIGNS had cause 
to celebrate, after 3 WILL got 13 points by beating ELDON BLACK.  Win some, lose 
some.  Speaking of which, RUIN was winsome, after beating DAMIAN VESS and seeing him 
lose 9 points.  In TELORINTHE, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find 
ourselves a new Duelmaster, NOCTURNAL RITES.  So who was the warrior seen charging 
into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     So much to report, so little time!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in 
WETWORKS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  The 
warriors of WETWORKS found their efforts at combat frustrated as BAD SIGNS apparently 
had more important things to do than fight.  Is it charming personality?  
Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, JESTER is the most 
challenged warrior.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  HIGH ELF in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for HAMMER KRINKER of CHAPEL OF THE 
GHOULS.  Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at The Swinging Aardvark will be!  Sober 
up, young warriors, and take note of DONALD TRUMP's fate!  NIKE of WETWORKS handily 
did him in.  Experience counts for something on TELORINTHE's sands.  Justice was 
served as NIKE fought DONALD TRUMP in bloodfeud.  Well done, WETWORKS!  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.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  TELORINTHE, I leave you now.  The 
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Swinging Aardvark.  'Til next time-- 
Novgorodny Vir

Telorinthe --  Sorry, have been busy the last couple of months, forgot to post about 
Tsunami Alert.  He was a 17-12-11-17-15-5-7 Basher, never trained stats.  Ended up 
with Master Init (+4), Expert Decise, and AdEx Attack, and a 20-13-4 record thanks to 
Spymaster in the Dark Arena.  Faves were War Flail, Moderate/Low Rhythm, Bash Tactic, 
and learns Initiative routine.   All I can say is his replacement looks much more 
interesting. --  Dark Oracle, mgr of Bad Signs.

I am undertaking a fiction-writing project on the Patreon website, under my own name

think some of you might enjoy it.  I don't know how much you can see if you just
cruise by, but they tell me it's up and open. -- Jorja
