SPY REPORT
Welcome Lapurians, it's time for another round of combat on the Spire arena sands. The
spring tourney is over, but I have not heard anything about it yet, which is kind of
strange. I hope the tourney managers return to fill our ranks once again. We have no
invitees to honor and our Duelmaster Skunk has been stinking up the throne for 6 weeks
now. The big question is, will he be able to scum his way to the Isle? Possibly, but
we can hope not. Will everyone make it back from the tourney? Will we anyone get an
invite to the Isle? Will Skunk make it a number four? I have been terrible at
prognosticating lately, so let's get on with it and find out.
Ten teams in the ranks, with two inactive, Poke' and his Men and Covey and his XIX.
From those teams we have 16 fights on the commission list, two fights by torchlight,
only three challenge matches and that leaves us with 11 random commission matchups.
Let's get the dead out of the way, Vlad and Buffalo each decided to rotate a warrior
and ARENAMASTER KYALL was more than happy to dispatch them both in a quick minute. We
salute your sacrifice and hope both managers receive worthy replacements.
In team news Visionist and his MID EARTH crew held onto the top spot with a 3-2-0.
Jumping from 4th to 2nd is Vlad and his ALMOST EXACTLY troupe who brought in a 4-1-0
showing, which also got the the Team on the Move after gaining 32 points. Dropping
from 2nd to 3rd is Master Beru and his ARMY of DARKNESS, who managed a 3-1-0 to round
out the top 3. The Most Avoided is naturally the Bloke and his AVOID ME!
propagandists, who received 10 avoids. Several other guilds got four avoids,
Okay, okay the fight for the throne is part three of Duelmaster SKUNK of AVOID ME!
challenging ENTITLED CITIZEN of ARMY OF DARKNESS. Jeez! Would you two get a room or
something. Ohh wait -- the Bloke's 3 time champ was outlasted by Master Beru's
empowered warrior in a 23 minute Title lunch break.
The remaining two challenge fights...
DROP THE SOAP of ALMOST EXACTLY challenged APOSTATE POSTMAN of ARMY OF DARKNESS, with
Vlad's slippery warrior vanquishing Master Beru's renegade warrior in a 1 minute
mismatched brawl.
POX of AVOID ME! challenged STONE HINGE of BLACK KELTS, with the Bloke's contagious
warrior being overpowered by Purple Sage's monumental warrior in a 1 minute mismatched
duel.
In other individual achievements...
The Biggest Winner is POPPY POPPINS, who gained 14 points.
The Biggest Loser is IMGUR, who lost 12 points.
This Week's Favorite is 1.75L.
No invites to the Isle, so that brings my report to a close. 'Til next time.
