SPY REPORT
Well, hello there, my darlings. Pull up a stool and enjoy some tea, while I prepare
the gossip. The tea smells of chamomile and honey, while the other smells of bruised
egos. I also believe the latter is stronger this cycle.
Our congratulations to Samwise Gamgee, who has claimed the Duelmaster's throne from
the departing Enid Ravenscar. That's no small accomplishment, my dears, and it gives
80s Fantasy another shining feather for its cap. With Enid now gone, the race for the
upper ranks has become delightfully unsettled.
Speaking of surprises, have you noticed those industrious little Sand Eaters? My,
my... ten fights and ten victories, not a single defeat! They have climbed all the way
to the top of the team standings without leaving so much as a breadcrumb behind. That
is the sort of start that makes veteran managers sit up just a little straighter in
their chairs.
The Warlords reminded everyone this turn why they remain one of Seam's most dependable
forces. The Phool dispatched a Veteran Mercenary with style, while Mist Song sent Ryz
Razorhand packing, and Mace Face added another convincing victory to the tally. They
may have surrendered the top team spot, but I would hardly call them finished.
Our friends at I-1/25 Manx Corps also enjoyed another solid outing. Mec Vann Ironhand
and Deemster Dhone continue to impress, while Lord Mann Cregbal quietly keeps adding
victories to his growing record. They have settled into Seam quite comfortably,
haven't they?
Warlords can stand tall as this turn's most avoided team. The team name should give
pause to anyone, but I-1/25 Manx Corps took it upon themselves to scurry away anytime
a Warlord made an appearance on the sands. Hold Mybeer was the most challenged
warrior, which led me to believe that Huard DePriest was in town from Shadowspire. Oh
well, it is good to see the arena active, my lovelies.
One thing does make this witch smile. For several turns now, we've seen new managers
arriving in Seam with fresh ideas and eager warriors. That is the lifeblood of the
arena. Veterans provide the legends, but newcomers write tomorrow's stories. I do hope
everyone keeps coming back, because the City of Splendors feels far livelier when its
taverns are full of boasting gladiators. Until next turn, my sweets!
Hugs and Curses,
Sidara Brightbell
