                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome back to Seam, my darlings!  Good to see each of you out and about the 
arena this fine day.  The summer heat is still going strong, but I can feel a slight 
shift.  I would say that it is my noble refinement, but it has been noticeable enough 
of late that even a cretin like Huard could sense it.  I can't wait!  Soon the leaves 
will be changing to my favorite colors and the magical flows will begin to strengthen!  
I'm a witch!  What did you expect me to say? Oh, something about pumpkin spice?!?!  
Bah, let's take a look at the fights before I turn Vlad or Weirdo into a newt!

     Hastur has made himself comfortable on the throne these last few turns.  He's 
been beating the competition though, so it is not a complaint from me about his stay, 
just an observation.  He had another opportunity this turn to prove his mettle against 
the arena.  Thor from Marvel stepped up to the challenge for turn 83!  It was an 
interesting fight, but Hastur is once again on top!  Congrats to Hastur once again, 
but also with this turn comes an invitation to the Isle of the Eye!  Plain ol' Hastur 
is now Lord Protector Hastur! Congrats to you warrior and your guild!  Wow, that's a 
lot of exclamation points, but it is exciting news!

     The most avoided team for turn 83 is Phantom Regiment.  They are the current top 
team, so there are actually good reasons for the avoids!  The ghostly gang was avoided 
the most by Thirsty Thugs.  The most challenged warrior would have been Nutbolt Larry, 
but he was absent from out festivities.  As such, Hastur becomes the most challenged 
warrior, and we have already seen how his bout's outcome. There were only 7 challenges 
for the whole turn, and all of those originated from the same manager!  Come on 
fellows!  Step up the game a bit!

     There were only 3 deaths and they all involved the Dark Arena or an arena stand 
in (that poor, poor Polite Beggar).  Deadline allowed the feud against Darque Knights 
to pass without vengeance.  Weirding Ways feud on behalf of Kooksy Inurmouf has 
expired.  While this turn's effort at revenge was thwarted, Weirdo's crew was able to 
win one fight against the deadly Deval.  Who else is going to step up to the challenge 
and avenge the fallen?!?!  I abhor death in the arena, but I do believe duty demands a 
reckoning! 

     I've already mentioned the glorious news of the newly minted Lord Protector 
Hastur; however, he is not going to the Isle alone. Long-time Seam resident, Haig of 
Thirsty Thugs has also been granted title and land.  Haig joins the ranks of the 
immortals at the Isle after spending 50 turns in Seam!  Yes, you heard that correctly!  
Over 2 years in our fair city!  I wonder if he considers himself a local now?  Maybe 
I'll ask him his feelings on that before next turn.

     It is time for me to go, my sweets!  I will see you next turn when we are certain 
to have a new Duelmaster.  Who will it be?  The Challenger Champions class is 
certainly stacked with some great warriors... a few other guys and gals as well.  Join 
us next time to find out!
