                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon TOBIR, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  OTAGO HIGHLANDERS had cause to celebrate, after 
CARROLL got 23 points by beating ALL GUNS BLAZING.  Those who hoped for a new 
Duelmaster were disappointed by ORTEGA, of BAKER TEAM, who despite a 9-3-0 couldn't 
overcome TOBIR's Number 1.  Word has it one team in TOBIR is using psychics to 
predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Perhaps the warriors of OTAGO HIGHLANDERS should 
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of OTAGO 
HIGHLANDERS found their efforts at combat frustrated as TEMERE NOMEN 1 apparently had 
more important things to do than fight.  Mismatched by 13 points, JUBILEE was bested 
by CANCEL MAN.  Is this really worth noting?  I thought CANCEL MAN showed great skill 
and promise when he defeated JUBILEE.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     All good things must come to an end.  As the seasons change, and the creatures 
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  TOBIR, I leave 
you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Deeproot Inn.  'Til next 
time-- Novgorodny Vir
