                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  NORTHERN LIGHTS had cause to celebrate, after 
SNOWFALL got 17 points by beating DART.  LADY CONSOLACION certainly had a baffled 
expression on hers face, after losing to MANNAZ THORSSON and losing 11 points in the 
process!  Well, Duelmaster JUNINHO TV challenged ANDORIAN KNIGHTS' MATADOR.  Is a 
37-18-1 good enough?  MATADOR found out that CRYSALIS isn't a democracy.  You've 
gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  So who was the warrior seen charging into 
immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from 
the lion, so did the "warriors" in CRYSALIS avoid THE BEAR'S PAW.  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of PARTY ANIMALS, so did that sorry team shy from THE 
BEAR'S PAW Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene? 
Whatever it is, PIXIE BLIGHT is the most challenged warrior.  Do my ears deceive me?  
FIVE GOLDEN RINGS (outclassed by 41 points) challenged CANNONBALL, in what promises 
to be a fight.(!) Fixed fights?  Paybacks?  Blind luck?  Whatever, FIVE GOLDEN RINGS 
challenged CANNONBALL, FIVE GOLDEN RINGS the underdog by 41 points.  Call 'im brash!  
Call 'im brassy!  Call 'im brave!  Call 'im sassy!  ORPHAN will face PIXIE BLIGHT, up 
by 41.  Aaaah, just call 'im dead meat.  The gods smiled upon ORPHAN, in his upset 
fight against PIXIE BLIGHT.  ORPHAN gets a win, 33 points, and a free drink on me.  
(Next week, OK?) Word has it BALDER suffered a romantic setback.  Note how he 
challenged RANDOM MATCHUP, 48 points his senior.  Like a mother cat batting her 
overly rambunctious kitten into submission, RANDOM MATCHUP quashed BALDER.  But 
BALDER, if at first you don't succeed...   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the 
arena.  A certain tavern in CRYSALIS 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 CRYSALIS?  On that giddy 
note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

     All -- I'm afraid Galen couldn't make it at the last minute, which left us
     rather in the lurch.  That's why you have a golem this cycle.  Next cycle
     though, your regular reporter will be back from sabbatical. -- Ed.

Oh, Jack, Honey, that felt soooooo good!  You are such the man to let me be on top!
(wink) -- Whacking Willow

Gilia -- You are a great fence painter.  Uh huh. -- Tom Sawyer

Watch out for Five Golden Rings!  He is energized from winning his record-tying
32,757 minute fight at The Baltimore Face.  Bad!  But golden! -- Midas, Golden
Gladiators

Grinnon Bearit -- Why, you are one fine person for saying that!  Come on over to my
apartment and let me show you how fine. -- Ravishing Redbud

Galen -- Macho?????  You beast! -- Blue Velvet

     BV -- (smiling)

Kat -- Welcome to you too.  I'm coming to see you as soon as I can. -- Dark Knight
Blackstorm

Sunflash -- Sorry, don't like the sun, A LOT!  I prefer dark clouds, but no rain. --
Chaos Warrior

Snarky-- Did I hear right, you are retiring?  You'll be missed. -- DK Blackstorm

My Nytemair shall be arriving shortly.  (grin) -- Dark Knight Blackstorm

Dark Knight Blackstorm -- Hailsa Brother!  Yeah, I'm just running a lonely soldier
here, but I represent the DEA wherever I go!! -- Dark Knight Heathen

Kat -- Thanks for the welcome.  My blade stays honed and I look forward to crossing
it with you and your brethren at every opportunity! -- D.K. Heathen Hatebred

All -- Most challenged?  Wow.  Really, you shouldn't have! -- Grinnon Bearit

Matador -- Simply winning wasn't enough?  Had to do the whole 'demolish' thing, eh?
Ok, ok, I get the hint. -- Bear Acuda

Ellita Fess -- For once, Bearnice was right--you ARE an accommodating dance partner!
-- Balder

Juninho -- No DM column?  We don't pay you to just SIT up there and collect TC's,
y'know. -- Sippycup Sam

Orphan -- You don't look like some poor, abandoned kid to ME.  You look like trouble.
-- Shard

Tom Sawyer -- But why should *I* paint the fence?  It isn't MY fence. -- Gilia Harn

Balder -- My mother SWEARS that using a hairbrush on your scalp will help that.
Sounds like an old mom's tale to me. -- Ellita Fess

Sippycup Sam -- Hmm, is that some kind of "potion of learning" in your cup?  You
surely did suck up the skills. -- Hollan Innis

Lady Consolacion -- If that's behavior appropriate to a lady, I'll take a plate of
hash instead.  Urg. -- Fender Grale

Ymir Bloodraven -- Ah, but it's my job to clean up after that kind of thing. --
Snowfall

Chaos Warrior -- Somehow, I would not have expected that style to be chaotic, but you
had me totally confused. -- Sunflash
P.S.  Maybe it was all the reflections.

Tom Sawyer -- Ah.  Well, it isn't a GOOD disguise, it makes you look like a dwarf. --
Ellita Fess and Gillia Harn

Blue Velvet -- No, I was too busy thinking about a dress of blue velvet spangled with
snowflakes in seed pearls, and I didn't pay attention to the fight. -- Snowfall

11 August 2006
All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights!  If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light!  We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
DM 31, Attn: Timothias)!  Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down
"Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of
Light
