                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ARKERS, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  The boys at FAR TRAVELERS left the arena dejected, 
after being kicked out of the top spot by FIGHTING IRISH.  Good show!  MIDDLE WAY 11 
after a sorry 1-3-0 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 2249 BOURBON ST.  FIGHTING IRISH had 
cause to celebrate, after DEIDRE got 9 points by beating VIRGINAL CONCUBINE.  A 
certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 5 
points to THE PARSON.  (Discrete enough, BETHANE?) ALEMBIC found out that ARKERS 
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 ARKERS' warriors?  Come, let us see.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Questions are being 
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in 
ARKERS would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in ARKERS is the highlight of my life.  As the seasons 
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave 
this place.  ARKERS, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at 
The Warty Toad.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
