                                      SPY REPORT

     Well hello, my darlings!  It is so wonderful to see each of you again!  The arena 
has been hoping with activity and we have lots of fights to take a look at in our 
report.  We have a new team, so welcome to 80s Fantasy.  Marvel is suspiciously absent 
from the rankings, so I am going to assume our new team is Hombre.  I will assume that 
until I am corrected or confirmed.  Time to look at the arena action!

     Let me see, ah yes, the Duelmaster!  Farmer Alfalfa was challenged by Pollux 
Lynxear.  The look evenly matched on the fight sheet, but we have the matches because 
you never know who is going to win!  This was an exciting match of back and forth 
between these two warriors, but after 2-minutes Farmer Alfalfa kept the throne! 
Congratulations to our repeat Duelmaster Farmer Alfalfa, who is managed by Huckle Cat. 

     I want to take the time to congratulate Dwimorberg, a former Duelmaster, on his 
recent graduation.  He got the call this turn for the Isle, and he will fight a 
farewell bout in the arena next turn. He will join Nutbolt Larry, who left us this 
turn.  Larry fought Kagewa on his way out the door and added another win to an already 
impressive record.  Good luck to both of you on the Isle of the Eye as you continue 
your training!  Lord Protector status grants title and land to the recipient.  I feel 
like we may need to extend the borders if this trend continues.

     The most avoided team is Weirding Ways and they are most avoided by I'm Not 
Eggbert.  Burial Rites from Phantom Regiment was our turn's most challenged warrior.  
Welvet got the call, but he may think better of making that challenge next turn.  
There really isn't a subtle manner to foreshadow a warrior with significantly lesser 
fight experience getting beat, even challenging down for the opportunity. What would 
the old guard think of that in Aradi, Ganolus?  Anyway, Welvet lost to Burial Rites in 
a one-sided fight.  

     Weirding Ways takes over the top team from Darque Knights by virtue of a kill 
(that does not sound right).  Oakleaf moves up 1 spot into 3rd place, trading places 
with Phantom Regiment who slips to 4th. Lost Sentinels closes out the top 5.  I'm Not 
Eggbert has the largest gain by climbing 4.  On the flip side, Thirsty Thugs falls the 
farthest dropping from 5th to 9th.  There are too many down challenges to note.  It 
looks like most of the arena has devolved into using such tactics.  How shameful in an 
Andorian arena!

     There were only Dark Arena deaths this turn with Darque Knights and Thirsty Thugs 
clearing some stable space on their teams.  Oakleaf did avenge their fallen comrade 
against Yellow Snowman.  Scarred, the avenger, is now top Uncharted Warrior in the 
arena with a 5-1-0 record.  Will he go back for more?  We'll have to wait and see next 
turn! 

     Time for me to vamoose, my sweets!  They are calling for rough weather in my 
travels this week and I must prepare!  My valets will prepare for me, but I'm sure you 
all knew what I meant.  Nobility has its perks!  I will look for each of you next 
turn.  Can someone unseat Farmer Alfalfa from the throne?  Will any of you regain some 
Andorian honor?  Wishful thinking, but I refuse to lower my standards for you brutes.  
I'll see you next turn!
