                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon JURINE, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Practice pays for ICEBERG EATER, who pummelled 
SLOWPOKE, to pocket 21 points.  In JURINE, nothing is permanent (except Death), and 
we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, BUSHIDO.  So who was the warrior seen charging 
into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the 
lion, so did the "warriors" in JURINE avoid MIDDLE WAY 16.  The warriors of MIDDLE 
WAY 16 found their efforts at combat frustrated as THE KATANAS apparently had more 
important things to do than fight.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the 
arena.  A certain tavern in JURINE would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in JURINE is the highlight of my life.  More important 
duties call me.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid JURINE 
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
