                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Practice pays for BRUCE, who pummelled CULT MEMBER, to pocket 15 
points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after 
losing 6 points to TIMOTHY.  (Discrete enough, TURIALBA?) HAYSTACK found out that 
ARDIVENT isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  Word 
has it one team in ARDIVENT is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to 
death.  I'll bet it works.   
     And how sociable are ARDIVENT's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Perhaps the 
warriors of GENERATION D should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided 
team...  Like a pup with its tail between its legs, FANDILS scurried away from 
GENERATION D.  Oh, the shame!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Questions are 
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain 
tavern in ARDIVENT would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in ARDIVENT is the highlight of my life.  More 
important duties call me.  ARDIVENT, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to 
foot my bill at The Seaside Manor.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
