                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon TRANSEL, for 
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  RUNE?  Who?  BLACK AND BLUES is the top team these 
days, buddies!  Practice pays for HALLUCENT, who pummelled CO-PILOT THOR, to pocket 
22 points.  CO-PILOT THOR certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after 
losing to HALLUCENT and losing 17 points in the process!  What can be a greater 
victory?  MCKINLEY has taken his place as the top, as TRANSEL's new Duelmaster.  Word 
has it one team in TRANSEL is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to 
death.  I'll bet it works.   
     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 BLACK AND BLUES are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  
The warriors of BLACK AND BLUES found their efforts at combat frustrated as BREWHALLA 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.  Is it charming personality?  
Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, THE DUCHESSE is the 
most challenged warrior.   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
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.  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 TRANSEL?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny 
Vir
