SPY REPORT
Hello, my sweets! I am stuck in Snowbound, but have been watching the activities
in Seam through my scrying crystal. I can see the look of worry on many of your
faces, so do not be afraid! I was only watching the arena events! Well, honestly, I
did take a peak at the food vendor by the south gate. I had some questions about the
quality of product he used the last time I stopped by his booth. Needless to say, I'll
be eating on the north side for the time being. Let's get to the fights for turn 67
and see what has been happening on the sands.
Dhotho Halfgray has been our Duelmaster for a few turns. Last turn, he got a bit
overzealous and killed poor Ghost in the title fight. Phantom Regiment did not take
to kindly to their warrior being deceased, so they had Dhotho in their sights this
cycle. Luckily, Casper was in the Challenger Champions and could issue a challenge to
our Duelmaster. Seeking a bit of retribution for this teammate's demise, Casper
wasted no time posting a challenge and facing Dhotho on the sands. When the dust
settled, we had an avenged teammate and a new Duelmaster. Congrats to Casper, who is
managed by Nomad. With his ascension, Casper also becomes the newest Lord Protector
in Seam. He will have a farewell fight next cycle and then travel to the Isle of the
Eye.
The most avoided team for the turn is once again Weirding Ways. Isn't it amazing
how constant down challenges will put you on everyone's short list to avoid?
Shocking, I know! I'm Not Eggbert was the team that avoided them most. Our
Duelmaster was the most challenged warrior for the turn. We have already recapped his
losing effort in the title match. It is good to see some competitive fire from the
Challenger Champions group!
Losers had an outstanding turn going 5-0-1 and climbing 9 spots in the arena
rankings. They also took the Top Team on the Move award! The great turn only took
them into 3rd place. I'm Not Eggbert takes the top team honors after a 4-1-0. They
replace Darque Knights, who slipped into 2nd. Marvel and Phantom regiment also had
smalls slips as they moved into 4th and 5th place, respectively. The biggest gain for
the turn was Losers, while the biggest loss belongs to Huckle's Cats, who fell 6 spots
into 10th.
There were not many deaths in the arena this turn. There were 5 deaths overall
with 4 of them happening in the Dark Arena. Of note, Absorbing Man was able to
survive the Dark Arena by killing Black Orc. Will Hombre take a second look at him or
just send him right back to the night fights? The only regular death belongs to Lost
Sentinels They lost Caliguru to Rage from the Loser's. As we have already noted, this
cycle's title fight was a bloodfeud challenge. On the opposite end of that spectrum,
it is sad to see Lost Sentinels allowing their feud against Mdjai to expire without
getting a bit of revenge. Maybe I should be thrilled at the idea it is not just a
continuous cycle of violence? Or... not. I'm truly conflicted.
Alright, my darlings, it is time for me to sign off. While the scrying spell
isn't too taxing, I have been doing it most of the day and it is beginning to weaken.
Spell components only go so far, you know. I hope to see each of you back next turn,
and I would encourage you to invite a friend! The more the merrier in the arena. See
you then, my sweets!

PERSONAL ADS
Pixelbenders -- My sincerest apologies for Piwi's challenge last turn. While I am not
against down challenges, I typically only use it against people who have wronged me,
which you have not. My only guess is that I did not change the challenges from the
last time I used my spreadsheet to fax in turns. Warrior ID 518 was the 2nd
challenge, and a warrior who is not in the arena any longer was the first. -- Master
Darque
Dhotho -- Seriously? I mean, seriously? I've done this dead thing before and I
didn't like it. And now I have to do it again? This really makes having the boss
miss a turn a few cycles back burn -- it cost me the throne. Perhaps I would have
kept it and already been on my way to immortality. Instead, I'm back in the long,
cold, dark. Oh man, this really burns. Or freezes. Or something. If I can pull of
a haunting on you I will! And I am not a friendly ghost! -- A seriously-torqued-off-
to-be-dead-again Ghost!
Mona Lisa -- On face one would think that match-up favored you. But in practice it
did not work out that way. I guess I didn't just stand around to get my picture
painted. -- Casper
Nutty Larry -- Yeah, a 14-3 FE advantage was probably helpful. Better luck next time.
-- Dwimorberg
Why are we making peasants, happy or not, fight in this arena? Perhaps a drunken duke
or annoying noble would be more appropriate? -- Graveborn Paladin

ATTENTION: Have you or a loved one has been diagnosed with the heartbreak of
Muffintheliomariasis? You may be entitled to financial compensation!
Muffintheliomariasis is a common nervous system disorder linked to the destruction of
self-worth and confidence due to the regular down-challenging of The Muffin Man.
Symptoms and side effects include involuntary twitching, irritable bowels, sweating,
abdominal pain, headache, gender impermanence, acute hygienic arrest, nausea and
death. These side effects typically occur after his down-challenging warrior has
whomped up on you, your warrior or a loved one. Are you at the end of your rope?
