SPY REPORT
Welcome back, fight fans. Today we honor new Lord Protectors SACAGAWEA of WAR PARTY, a
veteran warrior who made a lot of warriors famous. Next we have KUHRIS of MID EARTH,
whose fickle performance history drove Visionist up the guild house walls and lastly
we have NEAR WHALE of BLUE HERRINGS the first of his guild to head to the Isle from
Lapur. Congrats to our city's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th inductees of the year, you all have
earned your elite status. Farewell. Now it's time to see if Vlad's soap star can
become a three time champ.
We have 12 teams in the ranks, with Obregon and Tripwire finishing their tourney prep
work. That gives us 16 matches in the lists, six challenge fights and ten commission
matchups. No night fights, in fact the dead list is empty, a rare occurrence. We have
a new warrior at the top, thanks to KUHRIS beating DROP THE SOAP as he left town. So
that leaves SKUNK of AVOID ME! challenging WAGON DRIVER 3 of BLACK KELTS for the title
and after a lengthy and boring bout of 31 minutes, the Bloke's rodent warrior
outlasted Purple Sage's traveling warrior. It pains me to smell and say this, but
Congrats to the new Duelmaster SKUNK.
In team news Visionist and his Mid Earth group jumped from 3rd to 1st after a 4-1-0
result. Dropping a spot to 2nd is POKE' and his MON, who struggled to a 1-4-0 showing.
Rounding out the top 3 is Vlad and his ALMOST EXACTLY group, who also only managed a
1-4-0. The Team on the Move is MID EARTH, who gained 45 points of recognition. The
Most Avoided goes to the Bloke and his lone active warrior, who received 8 avoids and
they all came from Vlad's warriors, who garnered the second most with six.
The remaining challenge fights...
ERRATIC EDUCATOR of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged BRINE SUSPECT of BLUE HERRINGS, Master
Beru's wayward warrior being savagely defeated by Mr. Blue's pickled warrior in 2
minutes.
SUE CHEF of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged FROSLASS of POKE' MON, with Master Beru's
culinary warrior claiming victory over Poke's cold warrior in a 1 minute brawl.
SNORLAX (6-2-0,44) of POKE' MON challenged LITTLE FISHY of BLUE HERRINGS, with Poke's
hungry warrior besting Mr. Blue's minnow warrior in a 3 minute fight.
STOMPER ROOM of ALMOST EXACTLY challenged SILENCE of COVEY XIX, with Vlad's rhythmic
warrior being defeated by Covey's quiet warrior in a 3 minute match.
LOPUNNY of POKE' MON challenged FELONIOUS FRUNK of ALMOST EXACTLY, with Pokey's furry
warrior being viciously subdued by Vlad's criminal warrior in a 3 minute brawl.
Other individual achievements...
The Biggest Winner is GRAKUS gained 29 points in defeating the biggest loser.
The Biggest Loser is END OF BIDET, who lost 32 points in his loss.
This Week's Favorite goes to PRETTY ALRIGHT.
I just received notice of a last minute invite for Purple Sage's warrior WAGON DRIVER
3. Congrats! Next time we honor you and with that I bring my report to a close. 'Til
next time.
