                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Those betting on BAKER TEAM lost their shirt, 
as BAKER TEAM lost their fighting abilities:  0-1-0.  What's a move up by 4 you ask?  
(alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to THIS MODERN 
WORLD.  Practice pays for CONQUISTADOR, who pummelled ANXIOUS, to pocket 32 points.  
COMMANDER POWLE certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to 
SILENT MAJORITY and losing 14 points in the process!  Like a flirtacious debutante, 
TOBIR's Duelmaster ORTEGA found himself the man of the hour, being "invited to dance" 
3 times!  The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as MUMBLE RAP faced 
TOBIR's Duelmaster.  Now I can't insult MUMBLE RAP, as he has gloriously dueled to 
the top.  Oh great new Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who's the 
team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR 
stunt to me.   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of SAGE SOLDIERS, alone and unchallenged.  The 
warriors of SAGE SOLDIERS found their efforts at combat frustrated as ANYTHING GOES 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Death (in the form of CONQUISTADOR of SAXON) knocked on ANXIOUS' door.  What 
will ANYTHING GOES do?  The suspense is killing me.  Nothing is certain except death 
and more death in these bloody arenas.  ANXIOUS of ANYTHING GOES met hers fate at the 
hands of CONQUISTADOR.  Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling 
may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  TOBIR, I leave you now.  
The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Victory Tavern.  'Til next time-- 
Novgorodny Vir
