                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out LIN TIRIAN to 
see what's new.  MVP award for LANCE?  IRON MEN's proud of him after beating HALGAR 
SNAGTOOTH and getting 14 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  SANDY STRATTON's 
match with TOVER DUCK cost her a loss of 8 points!  Was that a tear I saw in RED 
COULTER's eye, as he took over Duelmastership?  And wasn't GABRIELLE REECE fit to be 
tied!  Who was the wiseguy that said LIN TIRIAN's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at 
The Lost Hope Inn?  Don't look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  Can SAND DANCERS' HALGAR SNAGTOOTH be more popular than me?  He was 
challenged the most, but is that really the same?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  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.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Gabrielle Reece -- I suppose I should be glad I didn't have to write a column, but it
gravels me to lose to a woman.  Even an overgrown beanpole of a woman. -- Red Coulter

Yeah, well, if Red thinks HE has cause for annoyance, *I* have more, I lost to the
Venomous Concubine.  A MEAN, really NASTY woman. -- Halgar Snagtooth

Dixie Bubbles -- Just think of me as a burster of bubbles or something. -- Harny
Black

Medusa -- You really need to do something about that hair. -- Shillis Vair

Rhea -- That's... a flightless bird of some kind, isn't it?  In the name of Ducks, I
assure you that being flightless is dumb. -- Tover Duck
P.S.  Not that I'm a Duck, except in a metaphysical sense, but I have a profound
sympathy for the breed.
