                                      SPY REPORT

Hello, my pretties!  The autumn has swept into the region and it feels like a 
blacksmith's oven in Seam!  I was hoping a new season and a new arena cycle would take 
away this heat, but no luck!  We must endure through and carry on with the games.  
Let's take a look and see what transpired on the sands and occasionally behind the 
scenes for turn 112!

LC carried on the long Thirsty Thugs' tradition of being competitive and sitting on 
Seam's throne.  As we shared the last turn, DMobster's crew is quite familiar with the 
Duelmaster's chair.  Pedigree might get your foot in the door, but it takes a lot of 
blood, sweat, and tears to become a champion on the sands!  LC showed his mettle last 
turn, but would enter this turn with a target on his back.  So, our title saw LC 
challenged by Zula.  It was an exciting fight and lasted 2 minutes before LC emerged 
victoriously and becomes a repeat Duelmaster!  Congrats once again to LC, who is of 
course managed by DMobster.

Our most avoided news finds Darque Knights once again being avoided by many in the 
arena.  They were avoided mostly by I'm Not Eggbert.  No one is surprised by this 
either since this pair is a common sight in this section of the spy report.  The 
Duelmaster LC was the most challenged warrior for turn 112.  We have many Challenger 
Champions in Seam, relative to our arena's size, so it is not hard to imagine the 
throne being coveted by our finest warriors.  There was only one death this turn and 
it came via the Dark Arena.  Another poor Bob found himself sent to fight the 
"monsters" by Hombre!

We had 2 teams inactive this turn.  Box in the Attic had been performing well, but is 
now MBI (missing by inaction).  Way of All Flesh is inactive as well.  Phantom 
Regiment stays the top team even after a 2-3-0 outing.  Huckle's Cats had the largest 
jump moving from 11th to 2nd place.  Aren't 4-1-0 turns great?  Box in the Attic was 
inactive, so Lost Sentinels is our active number 3 team.  The next three teams, 80s 
Fantasy, Darque Knights, and Pixelbenders, are all tied with a 7-8-0 record.  The 
largest drop in the rankings belongs to Deities and Demigods, who fell by 6.

Time to go, my darlings!  I will pray the gods that I will see you next turn.  I hope 
our inactive teams return as well!  Be sure to tell any new managers you meet that 
Unchartered awards are here for the taking!  I can think of few things more popular 
with gladiatorial managers than free fights!  Which Challenger Champion is going to 
step forward and fight LC?  Can any of them topple our Duelmaster?  Join us next time 
and find out!

Pollux -- Hey, don't blame me for your inability to learn.  I showed you some of my 
best moves.  If you can't learn from a schoolin' like that you just may be stuck here 
forever.  Or at least until the commission takes pity on you at 50. -- Mausoleum

Muck -- I admit Mausoleum isn't the most exciting name ever.  Some might even call it 
morbid, although I take that as a compliment.  But Muck?  Muck?  Who does that to a 
person?  And then they give you that stick to fight with.  Who hates you? -- Mausoleum

Patharea -- You went down a lot easier then I expected given your style and record.  
But don't worry, I won't lose any sleep over that. -- Sleepless

Mouser -- I had a shot at that one.  Soon that will be my win. -- Requiem

Snakebite -- I like that one.  So far so good with this dueling thing.  But what does 
a snakebite have to do with an oakleaf?  Enquiring minds want to know.  -Bloodmoon
