                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in DULLENS!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  MVP award for LAUGHTER REDKNIFE? 
CARDOW HUNTERS' proud of her after beating D'ARTANGNON and getting 5 points.  Talk 
about yer big time losers!  LAME OX got smashed by TOODLES ENRAGED!, and lost 11 
points!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  FRANKIE stopped PARAGON ORCA dead 
in his tracks!  I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  
They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Hey you guys, don't you think your 
families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.  I had 
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Oh, Shierrah!  Only six fights, Frankie fought the Orca, not our direct concern.
And... we went four-one against standbys.  It's sad.  Looks like two of the three
active teams here are running one gladiator each.  That doesn't help things.  Oh,
well, it actually COULD be worse, it could be JUST us and the standbys.  That's
happened here and there. -- Blind Owl
