                                      SPY REPORT

Welcome back, my lovelies!  I must shamefully admit that I awoke this morning with not 
a care in the world.  I was sitting in my breakfast nook taking my tea when it finally 
dawned on me that today was arena day!  Yes, I completely forgot I was supposed to be 
at the arena.  You can imagine there was a bit of hastening as I rushed out the door 
to make it to the arena in a timely manner.  Luckily, I did not miss any of the games, 
just my normal pre-fight chatter with the managers and gladiators.  Whew! It has been 
a whirlwind day, so let's take a look at what happened on the sands.

Lord Protector Requiem is leaving us for the Isle, but not before finishing his last 
turn in Seam.  In a random match-up, our Duelmaster battled Gehena.  It was a quick 
fight and LP Requiem showed us why he was reigning Duelmaster and why he was invited 
to the Isle of the Eye!  We now needed to wait for the games to conclude before 
crowning a new champion.  At the end of the day, Sleepless, LP Requiem's teammate is 
the new Duelmaster.  His match with Flazor became our secondary title fight.  Congrats 
to LP Requiem as he leaves us, and congrats to newly minted LP Sleepless who takes the 
throne and will leave us after fighting next turn!  Both are managed by Nomad.

I am impressed with you gents this turn because there were no deaths except in the 
Dark Arena where that nasty business should stay! Bringing back the memories of an old 
death, Parental Deceit challenged up to avenge the fallen Wonko the Sane.  Allmight 
appears to have learned his lesson with Parental Deceit emerging victorious!  Weirding 
Ways has one more turn left in their vendetta against Lost Sentinels.  

The gutsiest challenge of the turn goes to Halftone, who went after Vox Sunfire 22 
points higher in the rankings.  Most would think this an insane challenge, but 
Halftone has defeated Vox before, so it is only "slightly" crazy.  The Fates were no 
with Halftone this time as Vox wins the fight.  I cannot mention gutsiest challenge 
without making mention of the gutless one either.  Earthquake Season went down 14 
points to fight Hero's Inc.'s Hydra.  Honestly, there is nothing I love more than 
seeing a down challenger vanquished on these sands.  I was not disappointed as Hydra 
held his ground and defeated Earthquake Seaon.

Our most avoided team is Weirding Ways.  Considering their down challenging ways, this 
is not a surprise to anyone.  They were mostly avoided by Vendetta.  The most 
challenged warrior turned out to be Allmight, who faced a feud from Weirding Ways that 
we have already covered.  The style masters are looking ab it sparse with only 4 
currently listed.  We have representatives of every style in the arena, perhaps they 
are still on the rise!  We had 33 bouts today with 3 Dark Arena fights, 1 Bloodfeud 
challenge, and 12 regular challenges. Not bad, ladies and gentlemen, not bad at all!

Come back next time and enjoy the exciting fights, my darlings!  I promise not to be 
late again!  We will certainly have a new Duelmaster and unless there is some magical 
loophole that I am missing, it will not be anyone from Phantom Regiment!  They have 
had such a strong presence at the top for many cycles now, but they have now graduated 
and opened up the way for the rest of you to fight for the top honor in the arena - 
DUELMASTER!  See you next time!
