SPY REPORT
Good afternoon.
Not all of the clerks who bring me statistics have reported in yet, but I'll see
what I can do with what I've got. There were 16 fights in Jhelum's arena today. 6
challenges, and Songs of the Wood avoided Classic Blues. No one died in the arena
today, which is always a relief.
Songs of the Wood had a 4-1-0 turn, moving them up four places in the rankings.
Here's their best fight today. THE WHISTLER (4-7789) (15-16-0,94) of SONGS OF THE
WOOD challenged POLAR BEAR (4-7820) (24-23-1,112) of TRIBAL COUNCIL. THE WHISTLER
devastated POLAR BEAR in a 1 minute gruesome mismatched Challenge fight and gained 15
recognition points.
Break It Down Again is still Jhans' Duelmaster after a rather predictable match.
BREAK IT DOWN AGAIN (4-7423) (17-1-0,142) of PALE SHELTER 57 fought PANZER IV (4-7847)
(18-23-2,94) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN'. BREAK IT DOWN AGAIN handily defeated PANZER IV in
a 5 minute uneven Title fight.
Caress of Steel! had another chance to bloodfeud Arrows of Stage Right. Once
again, neither Arrows nor anyone else from the Stage Right team has shown their face.
And so, Caress of Steel! had a 2-2-0 turn, with their two wins being against stand-
ins. Arrows only has a 1-0-1 record, so I'm sure Caress of Steel!'s four rather
inexperienced fighters would have a decent chance. Had Arrows been present to meet
the demands of honor.
The most challenged warrior was Lead Balloon. VELVET QUEEN (4-7797) (17-13-0,82)
of SONGS OF THE WOOD challenged LEAD BALLOON (4-7742) (3-66-0,75) of DOGS OF WAR.
VELVET QUEEN overpowered LEAD BALLOON in a 1 minute bloody one-sided Challenge fight.
In the last fight of the day, Bizarre Czar discovered that you can't always judge
a fighter by his or her record. BIZARRE CZAR (4-7829) (2-0-0,9) of TYRANTS fought
EVERGREEN (4-7994) (0-2-0,2) of TRIBAL COUNCIL. BIZARRE CZAR was overpowered by
EVERGREEN in a 3 minute bloody mismatched brawl. Evergreen gained 16 points for this
win.
Well, with the limited background information I was able to glean, that's all I
can say. Except that some fighters, specifically Edgar and Cinderella Man, have taken
to wearing red and white striped tights over their armor. Did they do this on a dare?
HUNTING GIRL (4-7846) (12-10-0,84) of SONGS OF THE WOOD challenged EDGAR (4-7838)
(20-24-0,84) of DOGS OF WAR. HUNTING GIRL devastated EDGAR in a 3 minute bloody one-
sided Challenge duel. The tights were shredded.
CINDERELLA MAN (4-7973) (3-3-0,25) of CARESS OF STEEL! fought OSKSI NOBLE (4-583)
(0-0-0,10). CINDERELLA MAN bested OSKSI NOBLE in a 1 minute bout. The tights came
out undamaged. Is this a good thing or a bad one?
That's it for this turn. Have a good two weeks. I hope it cools off a bit,
don't you?
