                                      SPY REPORT

Welcome to Telorinthe Tidings with Ori Starbloom!  Hello, hello, hello, my dazzling 
duel-darlings! Did you see this turn? It was like watching a basket of squirrels try 
to organize a tea party! It was chaotic and charming with the occasional animal bite 
and mandatory rabies testing! Let's get a closer look, but protect the face!

Our new ruler of the ruckus is Nothingburger from Riff-Raff Crew. Abalach-Re headed 
for the Isle, and she was able to rebuff Kluh's designs for the throne. Meanwhile, 
Nothingburger beat Namtab in a proper 3-minute tussle. 22-25 would not turn too many 
heads in the arena, but it reigns as champ all the same. Regardless of what the 
bookies think, Nothingburger did catch the Commission's eye and leaves us on the next 
turn.  You know what that means? Yes, we will need a new head to wear our quirky 
crown!

Cixelsid Heroes remains at the top of the teams with an 11-4 record over the last 
three turns. Sorcerer Kings are climbing, slowly like ivy on a wall. In points, they 
surged by 58 points. Raam smashing Buffarilla and Uyness jumping 22 points helped 
greatly. Riff Raff's crew had a bit of a stumble, but they still hold the throne, so I 
did not hear too many complaints when I stopped by to talk to them after the fights.

Abalach-Re left for the advanced games by raining on Kluh's unblemished record. Many 
are looking at the Commission and their fight organizers for this match. It felt... 
lopsided. Though Kluh fell, his teammates Rednow Woman and Namrepus were able to stand 
on business and deliver victories for their team.

Namtab was the arena's favorite target or most hated gladiator. I am never sure which 
fits. Nothingburger took the biggest bite from Namtab. Honestly, if challenges were 
hugs, Namtab would need a nap.

So exciting! I love this job! We had a Duelmaster that refused to leave quietly. We 
had a top team that is holding steady! We witnessed a storm of Sorcerers on the rise. 
We witness a vacant crown next turn. Who will step in to seize it! I told you! It is 
exciting! Come back in 28 days and see how it all unfolds! I know I will be here!

                                          -- Ori Starbloom
