                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     I can't believe the violence in DARKHOLM!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  MVP award for CLEANER WRASSE?  
BIG MEAN FISH's proud of it after beating RED FUSION and getting 32 points.  Talk 
about yer major upsets!  MEN WORKING's match with PLANKWALKER cost it a loss of 27 
points!  Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think CREDIT LINE should 
let COOKIE FOR THE SOUL be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  Who 
was the wiseguy that said DARKHOLM's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Goldie's 
Hospitality House?  Don't look at me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out 
STRAFE challenged SUPER BUM.  After all, haven't BLACK PRIMERS and FLAT BROKE had a 
long standing duel in DARKHOLM?  It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but 
SUPER BUM wants me to write about it since he won victory over STRAFE.  Satisfied?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All DARKHOLM ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out 
of a job, that's what!!!   
     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.  
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

     Desiree has been decoyed by a trail of Girl Scout Cookies but should be back
     next time.

Plankwalker -- By my calculations, that does not make you a sea dog but rather a sea
dog's bone. -- Calculator

Greasy Napkins -- What a mess!  The pieces keep sliding on this board. -- Fool's Mate

Psycho Grandma! -- Sounds good to me.  ANY kind of grandma would be a interesting
change. -- Dune

What error in planning has brought a standby onto the sands? -- Strategics

Black Widow -- Child, that is the wrong attitude to take into a marriage.  It is a
case of expecting failure, and such expectations always are met. -- Old Maid

Desire -- What are you doing calling me a Willavian?  I'm from Osksi. -- Dune
P.S.  It's the Psycho Grandma who's from Willaf, and I can't answer for her.
