                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of TRANSEL.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  The boys at 
PHOENIX GUARD left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by 
CHAOS KIDS.  Good show!  FIRST NAME BASIS after a sorry 0-2-0 might want to consider 
abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues!  What's a 
move up by 4 you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, 
according to RAT PAK.  I doubt many are quaking in their boots, but TOP HITS comes 
out of nowhere to get 5-0-1.  What does the future hold?  Watch this space...  
Practice pays for PAINT IT BLACK, who pummelled EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, to pocket 21 
points.  SKIP certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to KNACK 
MCZAPPIGAN and losing 16 points in the process!  In TRANSEL, nothing is permanent 
(except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, HOT MOOSE KNUCKLE.  So who 
was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  
Someone's got a basic problem...   
     And how sociable are TRANSEL's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like the noble 
eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of PSYCHO SQUAD, alone 
and unchallenged.  As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of STYLE GUY, so 
did that sorry team shy from PSYCHO SQUAD Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and 
SKIP is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't BLACK AND BLUES proud!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Justice was served as RATIGAN-RAT fought TEMPE TAX in bloodfeud.  Well done, 
RAT PAK!  Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the 
arena.  A certain tavern in TRANSEL would I avoid!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  More important duties call me.  Do not despair!  
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
