                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  The boys at RAT PAK left the arena dejected, 
after being kicked out of the top spot by TREEBEARD'S ARMY.  Good show!  Practice 
pays for SPLINTERMAW, who pummelled SLIVIN, to pocket 24 points.  Win some, lose 
some.  Speaking of which, DIMWIT OVERHILL was winsome, after beating IRONBOUGH and 
seeing him lose 9 points.  MANBEARPIG successfully staved off a grab for the roses by 
WINTERYEW of TREEBEARD'S ARMY.  Does ZORPUNT have no one talented enough to dethrone 
him?  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? 
Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A 
certain tavern in ZORPUNT would I avoid!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my 
control, I must take my leave of this place.  ZORPUNT, I leave you now.  The 
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Warty Toad.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny 
Vir
