                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  GOLDEN CANYON had cause to celebrate, after 
FOOT DRAGGER got 13 points by beating M. CHARDINEE.  Well, Duelmaster MORPHEUS Dark 
Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's HIGH ELF.  Is a 16-7-0 good enough?  The crowds were 
amazed this turn, as HIGH ELF killed the Duelmaster, MORPHEUS, leaving THE ENDLESS in 
mourning.  Even 80 points weren't good enough to save MORPHEUS from LOTTIE CRABTREE.  
CALEAM welcomes LOTTIE CRABTREE as the new Duelmaster!  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!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys 
in GENERATION X are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of FAR TRAVELERS, so did that sorry team 
shy from GENERATION X Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and LOTTIE CRABTREE is 
it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't GOLDEN CANYON proud!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Ask not a spymaster 
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious 
stupor.   
     All good things must come to an end.  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant 
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  CALEAM, I leave 
you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Dripping Blade.  'Til next 
time-- Novgorodny Vir
