SPY REPORT
Hail, beloved bloodsport enthusiasts of Seam! It is I, Sidara Brightbell, your
resident arena enchantress and ever-curious chronicler, bringing you another warm (yet
ever so slightly scorched) report from the dusty sands of DM 20, Turn 263. The echoes
of steel have faded, but the stories they left behind still shimmer like spellfire in
the summer sun.
Once again, But What Am I of Rubber vs Glue answered the call to glory, challenging
the ever-popular Hodja of Thirsty Thugs for the Duelmaster's crown. In a thoughtful,
hard-fought match that stretched four thrilling minutes, our reigning champion proved
that he is, in fact, still the answer. Congratulations to But What Am I! That record
-- 38-8-0 -- isn't just sticky, it's legendary.
Whispers behind cloaks and cups of ale all say the same: folks are steering clear of
the Darque Knights. And no wonder! These shadowy warriors are seasoned, strong, and
perhaps even blessed (or cursed?) by darker powers. Who is guilty of avoiding them the
most? The curious honor falls upon Pandemic Boredom, who wisely chose not to risk
sending more of their roster into the jaws of these armored nightmares. Don't worry,
dears, there's no shame in survival. Looking at the individual, we must always ask the
question, who had a target on their back this day? Poor HILDA HIPPO of Huckle's Cats
found herself in the center ring once more, with RAT FINK of Rubber vs Glue coming at
her strong. Though Hilda held her ground with her signature stubborn flair, she was
ultimately overwhelmed in a 4-minute match. Courageous as ever, Hilda remains a fan
favorite despite the bruises. A true arena veteran!
Dear Managers, it warms my heart (and my cauldron) to see such fierce competition--and
yet, the sands feel a little lonely, don't they? A few empty columns on the challenge
board. A few echoing cheers short of a full chorus. Wouldn't Seam shine all the
brighter with more brave blades on the sands? So send word through the realms--call
your comrades, invite your rivals, stir the pot, and join the fray! Seam needs your
warriors, your wit, and your wonder. Let's breathe more life into the old arena, one
thrilling duel at a time. Until next time, my dears, hugs and curses!
-- Sidara Brightbell

PERSONAL ADS
I want to apologize to everyone for not writing any personal ads last turn. Sidara
Brightbell obviously punished us and made us go 0-5 -- don't upset her, guys! My
excuse is that I was coming off of a Shingles vaccine followed by getting Covid
followed by my wife getting Covid -- all in all, not a fun 2 week period around the
ol' homestead. My wife moved out of our bedroom while I had Covid and took the TV with
her so I was stuck in a near-death state while watching videos on YouTube -- that's a
punishment I don't wish on anyone, even Huckle and his cats. The next thing you know,
I'm watching ALL the episode summaries of Mad Men and Downton Abbey and the easter
eggs of Fight Club. Ugh! Anyway, I'm back now, making challenges and avoiding just
about every team. Here's hoping we go at least 1-4! -- Pappy
