                                      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 HOUSE OF FUR left the arena 
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by THE FEROCIOUS FIVE.  Good show!  
Practice pays for HAMANU, who pummelled KING CHAPPA, to pocket 21 points.  KING 
CHAPPA certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to HAMANU and 
losing 18 points in the process!  Well, Duelmaster ROOK challenged NFL NETWORK's CAM 
NEWTON.  Is a 25-17-0 good enough?  CAM NEWTON found out that TELORINTHE isn't a 
democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  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 the noble 
eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of CONJURE UP THE SUN, 
alone and unchallenged.  The warriors of CONJURE UP THE SUN found their efforts at 
combat frustrated as KAME HOUSE apparently had more important things to do than 
fight.  If challenges were horses, PRIMORDIAL HULK could open up a fast food joint!  
Mismatched by 9 points, HILLARY CLINTON was defeated by STORMFLY.  Is this really 
worth noting?  I thought STORMFLY showed great skill and promise when she bested 
HILLARY CLINTON.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  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.  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant 
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  Do not despair!  
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Telorinthe -- Mother-In-Law has been sent off to the retirement home, never to be 
heard from again.  Ahh, the peace & quiet.  Anyway, for those who were interested, she 
was a 11(1)-16(1)-11-8(1)-19(1)-12-11 Total Parry, with Advanced Expert in Parry and 
an Expert in Defence.  It was the 15th Defence skill that gave her an expert rating, 
which ultimately let her get accepted in to the retirement home of her choice.  She 
actually managed to learn 46 skills in total, which is rather good considering her 
wit, but sometimes, it doesn't matter how many skills you have, you can't teach an old 
dog new tricks.  The commission reports her favourites are Large Shield, with Very Low 

Offensive Effort and Low Activity level, while learning defensive actions.  She did 
not have a favourite tactic, other than undermining my parental authority. -- Dark 
Oracle, mgr of Bad Signs
