SPY REPORT
Welcome back, my darlings! It is great to see you once again in this beautiful arena.
The weather has been a bit manic-depressive lately, so I was not sure what to expect
today. Luckily, we can throw safety aside and let the gladiators fight! I mean, they
are trying to injure one another, aren't they? The elements just add a new dimension
to the fights if you can bear to sit through them! Okay, let's take a look at today's
action and see who is left standing after a particularly deadly turn.
Torquil starts off our report because it is only fitting that the Duelmaster gets top
billing! Hombre is one of the more active managers in New Seam, so I anticipated
Torquil was not going to be idle upon the throne. He blood feuds Rick Roller of
Weirding Ways. The matchup is a bit lopsided, but that is the danger of killing.
Torquil executed his opponent to keep the throne. Weirding Ways does have a warrior
in the Challenger Champions, so we could see another bout between these two teams next
turn. I told you it was a deadly turn!
The most avoided team is Phantom Regiment. They are atop the rankings of late, so I
can completely understand other teams taking notice. They were mostly avoided by
Weirding Ways. The most challenged warrior of the turn is Vox Sunfire. Vox killed a
fellow gladiator last turn, but there was no feud this round. Instead, he was down
challenged by Jacye of Oakleaf. I could say something false such as, "What a
surprise!" But, we have come to expect such things from that squad. Vox loses to
Jayce, but both remain in the Challenger Champions.
There were 7 deaths this turn and 31 total fights. We have already discussed our
Duelmaster's bout which ended in death. Surprisingly, that was the only death that
occurred during the day fights. In the humid hours of the night, we had 6 warriors
fighting by torchlight against our Dark Arena "monsters." Why we call them that, I
have no idea! They have always been polite on the rare occasions I have attended the
deathmatches. It looks as if 80s Fantasy, Dark Knights, and Pixelbenders sent a
warrior to the Dark Arena. The big push came when Oakleaf sent the majority of his
stable, 3 warriors, to certain death. I understand our sport is not a safe one and
death resides in the arena. I also maintain that I do not have to like it!
Condolences to the dead!
There were 2 significant gains in the rankings this turn. Phantom Regiment leaps to
the front of the line from 5th place. There 10-5-0 over the last 3 turns puts them
slightly ahead of Warlords and Pixelbenders. Pixelbenders, it is worth noting, came
from 8th place to take over 3rd. Weirding Ways and 80s Fantasy close out the top 5
teams. Thirsty Thugs had the largest drop, moving from 2nd place to 7th, after a 2-3-
0 outing. Firehand Orcs were inactive, and 80s Fantasy enjoyed a turn 134's best with
a 4-1-1.
All good things come to an end, so it is time to close out this spy report! Torquil
is still under the regular fight requirements needed for graduation, so he has many
more turns to defend the throne! Is anyone going to be able to unseat him? Is he
going to strive for a New Seam record? I don't know, I'll have to check the books to
see what the consecutive number of turns upon the throne actually is for the arena. I
know it is held by Smokehead of Thirsty Thugs, but the number escapes me! Blast old
age and forgetfulness! Oh well, we will take a look at it all next turn if Torquil is
still sitting in the Big Chair! Join us next time!
