                             Notes from the arena champ.

Some things are easy. Like scarring a fist. Doesn't matter that it came from across 
the tracks in Krosaville. They all bleed. They all cry out. Krosavillians more than 
most, however. 

I'm champ again for the 5th time. Everybody expected it.

I wish you all good luck and minimal scarring. I can't help what I do.

                                          -- Scarred

                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in TOBIR!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  Like, SAXON had to be so 
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by NEON DRUIDS!  Way to go NEON DRUIDS!  
Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, PHOENIX GUARD!  'Cause they got 4-0-0 and 
moved up to 5th!  MVP award for GOOSE?  PHOENIX GUARD's proud of it after beating 
SONG OF EVIL and getting 19 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  ALL GUNS BLAZING's 
match with NUTHATCH cost him a loss of 11 points!  This Duelmaster is like something 
else!  SCARRED stopped NOBLE ASSASSIN dead in his tracks!  Is the Duelmaster really 
being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  The warriors of BOOK OF CHANGE must be getting 
lonely.  They were the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  
Is there some deep dark secret why ANYTHING GOES' been avoiding BOOK OF CHANGE so 
much?  Or is it just that they're too scared?  Like, is RACER popular, or what?  He 
was challenged the most in all of TOBIR!  He's got a 16-4-0, is that good?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All TOBIR ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  What a bummer!  WURMSPEAKER got wasted by CPT BEN PIERCE!  But 
with a 4-5-0, I guess NEON DRUIDS aren't too bummed.  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 know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really 
should stop.  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte
