Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. He who laughs last didn't get the joke. Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe CHILDREN OF LLYR. Last week they got 1-4-0 to drop by 5! Practice pays for TOASTY TOM, who pummelled CASSIN, to pocket 19 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, ORI OF SMALLCLIFF was winsome, after beating WOJCIK and seeing him lose 9 points. CALVOR OF DREM successfully staved off a grab for the roses by ROBERT BLAKE of TAKE THE FIFTH. Does MURSKA have no one talented enough to dethrone him? Word has it one team in MURSKA is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works. And how sociable are MURSKA's warriors? Come, let us see. Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of SATAN'S SWARM, alone and unchallenged. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of SATAN'S SWARM, so did that sorry team shy from SATAN'S SWARM Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! You've heard about CASSIN of CHILDREN OF LLYR. Death plays no favorites, and neither do I. What was a 12-14-0 doing on the fields in the first place? Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting! All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for MURSKA? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CALVOR OF DREM 5118 21 11 0 104 HOUSE JHEREG (42) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME G.
