Come on, y'all! Ya done made a silly mistake lettin' this ole woofer be top dog. 
What's wrong with y'all? I mean I be proud 'n all that,butsheesh! Aincha got better'n 
me? Ok. Ok. Kennelworth done tells me ta take it and act a little more champeen-like, 
so I better. Y' know? 

I bite!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ARUAK CITY.  Like, BULLDOGS had to be so 
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by COLORIFIC!  Way to go COLORIFIC!  
COLORIFIC like really fought hard to move up to 1st from 6th.  Way to go!  Cut this 
out and put it in your scrapbooks, THE RED HAND!  'Cause they got 4-1-0 and moved up 
to 2nd!  MVP award for JON THANE?  THE RED HAND's proud of him after beating BULLISH 
and getting 23 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  BULLISH's match with JON THANE 
cost him a loss of 17 points!  Was that a tear I saw in NACKY's eye, as he took over 
Duelmastership?  And wasn't HUSKY fit to be tied!  Is the Duelmaster really being a 
real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  The warriors of NANNY HOUSE must be getting lonely.  They were the 
most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  I don't know what 
BULLDOGS' been doing.  They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from NANNY 
HOUSE, that's fer sher.  Can THE MYRMIDONS' THANATOS be more popular than me?  He was 
challenged the most, but is that really the same?  For sure, I was holding my breath 
when I found out EOMER challenged PATROCLUS.  After all, haven't ROHAN and THE 
MYRMIDONS had a long standing duel in ARUAK CITY?  It wasn't a spectacular fight, or 
anything, but PATROCLUS wants me to write about it since he won victory over EOMER.  
Satisfied?  EOWYN must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  She 
challenged EMILE.  13 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I 
thought EOWYN showed great skill and promise when she overcame EMILE.  All right, so 
I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  I hear ANIMAL FARM sent TANGERINE TAPIR to 
the Dark Arena.  What, is that like not well-lit, or what?  What if they had a fight 
and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Hey! I'm proud. I guess I have to work on Husky, though. Anyway, our own Husky is 
Duelmaster and gets to drink free at The Bulldog Inn. Can he do it again? Way to go, 
Husky. -- Kennelworth, Proprietor
