                                      SPY REPORT

     Good afternoon, my darlings!  There is a chill in the air, but seeing some of you 
just warms my heart.  This handy warmth spell I learned as a teenager is quite helpful 
as well.  Despite the unseasonable chill we are experiencing at the moment, we did 
have fights and that is always a wonderful thing to see!  Let's take a look at turn 
91, shall we?

     Phantom Regiment has been quite a force the past few turns. Graveborn Paladin 
took over the throne and had the opportunity to defend it this round.  Not one to sit 
idly by, Graveborn Paladin challenged Rasterize, a bold challenge for sure considering 
the style match up.  It took 3 minutes, but Graveborn remains our Duelmaster, at least 
for another turn.  He was invited to the Isle of the Eye by the Gladiatorial 
Commission.  How does immortality work for the undead? Graveborn Paladin is managed by 
Nomad, as are all of the Phantom Regiment warriors.

     The most avoided team for the turn is the absent I'm Not Eggbert. They were 
avoided most by Darque Knights.  This is a strange bit of information since I'm Not 
Eggbert was also absent the last turn. Perhaps I should send a note to Eggbert . . . 
or Not Eggbert to see if he realizes we still have gladiator fights in Seam?  The most 
challenged warrior is Rasterize!  He caught the interest of the Duelmaster and a few 
other warriors this turn.  Luckily, he had a shot at glory and the throne.  Sadly, he 
was not able to overcome our current Duelmaster.

     Except for the Dark Arena, you gentlemen seem to have reined in your bloodlust.  
There were 5 warriors sent to the Dark Arena.  The most notable was arena veteran 
Equalizer who died with a final record of 17-24-0.  Ganolus's crew, Oakleaf, appear to 
be working out all the kinks from his inactive Duel2 career and getting back into the 
swing of things.  The Oakleaf guild was able to avenge their two fallen warriors.  
They pulled together a 4-1 record and nabbed the Top Team on the Move Prize in 
addition to their Uncharted awards.  Congrats to Deities and Demigods are in order as 
they have a new graduate today as well.  Frigg gets the call and will join Graveborn 
Paladin for one last turn in 14 days. 

     Time for me to go, my sweets!  My warmth spell is waning and while I enjoy the 
arena atmosphere, I do not enjoy the cold!  Join us again next cycle.  We know that we 
will have a new Duelmaster.  The questions in this situation are always the same.  
Will our new Duelmaster come from defeating the old or based on recognition?  With our 
Challenger Champions, it is anyone's guess at this point.  This is why you will not 
want to miss turn 92!
