SPY REPORT
Greetings Lapurians, one and all!
We have another warrior to honor, Rainstorm of Cardow Hunters will fight their last
fight before heading for the Isle. Congrats to their manager, Jorja, for her 19th
Lapurian Lord Protector and the city's 6th of the year. Rainstorm is a Slasher with am
impressive resume of 48 fights and is Jorja's first to receive their invite in over 4
years--the last one was Mudslinger. Congrats, you have earned your immortality! Now
who will be the next? On with this week's results.
We have 14 teams in the rankings with 3 recovering from jet lag, and from those teams
we have 20 fights on the lists. 6 of those are challenge fights and the remaining 14
are random matchups. No dark arena fights or even a death this time. With our
Duelmaster leaving for the Isle, let's find out who is the new title holder. SACAGAWEA
of WAR PARTY challenged BASCOMB BRENDEU of BLACK KELTS and in a 1 minute duel
Obergon's Shoshone warrior bested Purple Sage's French warrior to take the title as
Duelmaster. Congrats!
In team news, Jorja's CARDOW HUNTERS used a 4-1-0 result to take over the top spot
while Master Beru and his ARMY OF DARKNESS parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 3 space
move up the rankings from 5th to 2nd. Purple Sage and his BLACK KELTS finished with a
2-3-0 record and dropped from the top to third. The Team on the Move this week is the
top team CARDOW HUNTERS, who gained 39 points collectively. The Most Avoided team this
week is... (pause for effect)... Purple Sage and his Black Kelts, who had 6 avoids.
This was the most competitive avoids I have ever seen. No less than 7 other guilds
ended up with 4 avoids.
Challenge fights...
TASALON of NEON VELVET challenged RAINSTORM of CARDOW HUNTERS, with Neon's velvet
warrior being bested by Jorja's flooding warrior in a 2 minute fight.
PETRIFIED SPONGE of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged WANDERER 4 of BLACK KELTS, with Master
Beru's fossilized warrior subduing Purple Sage's nomadic warrior in a 5 minute fight.
ENTITLED CITIZEN of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged HOWLER of CARDOW HUNTERS, with Master
Beru's privileged warrior being viciously subdued by Jorja's roaring warrior in a 3
minute fight.
LARRY of NEON VELVET challenged ERRATIC EDUCATOR (3-3-1,27) of ARMY OF DARKNESS, with
Neon's ordinary warrior losing to Master Beru's professor warrior in a 3 minute
gruesome brawl.
SATIN SCALES of NEON VELVET challenged SUE CHEF of ARMY OF DARKNESS, with Neon's silky
warrior being defeated by Master Beru's legal warrior in a 3 minute struggle.
In individual achievements, SMOOTH OPERATOR beat CLANCEE and swapped 25 points of
recognition. This week's favorite is DEEP WELL 900 of BLACK KELTS, who beat TATONKA of
WAR PARTY in my Fight of the Week. Well done to you both!
Lastly, we wish Lord Protector RAINSTORM a final farewell and look here, I just
received a note that BIG TROUBLE of I'M THE WOLF got his invite to the Isle. So next
week we honor Howlin Wolf's champion. 'Til next time.
