                                      SPY REPORT

     Hello, my sweets! It is so great to hear from you on this fine arena day!  I 
count it a joy when we get to come and watch the battles upon the sands, even when it 
is a cold, rainy one such as today.  We have much to discuss on this 150th turn in New 
Seam.  It is a glorious day to reach such a milestone.  I will have more to say about 
that at the close of this report.  For now, let's jump into this turn's action and see 
what has happened in our fine arena, shall we?

     It is has been a tumultuous time atop the arena these past few months.  Darque 
Knights and Vendetta have had warriors rise and fall from the throne.  My, my, we even 
had a Duelmaster die in defense of the throne!  I know, it is scandalous!  Ascention 
took the throne last turn via bloodfeud against Fal Icetooth.  It appears we had a 
rematch this turn between the two.  For the first time in a while, our Duelmaster has 
held the throne for consecutive turns.  Congrats to Ascention for defending his title 
and also for receiving an invitation to the Isle of the Eye!  Ascention and company 
over at the Vendetta guild are managed by Paradox.

     Back into the regular swing of things in the spy report, I can relay to you that 
the most avoided team is Pixelbenders.  They were mostly avoided by Darque Knights.  
Death Knell was our most challenged warrior.  Phantom Regiment's warrior got lots of 
attention, but it a bloodfeud challenge from Jebb Frostbleed approved by the GC that 
brought us our bout on the sands.  Jebb avenged his fallen teammate and climbed in the 
rankings.  Death Knell is still doing well at 3-1-1 and 26 recognition points.

     There was only 1 unexpected death on the sands this cycle.  Alpha Lock of 
Pixelbenders met an untimely end at the hands of Trailer Trash Tom.  Robo Village has 
an impressive record and only 2 kills, so it is hard to call this anything except 
tragic, though it was a challenge and not a random matchup.  There were 3 Dark Arena 
deaths, and all of them were Rookie warriors, so I have little to report on them.  Way 
of All Flesh and Weirding Ways are still missing from the ranks.  Has anyone sent out 
a search party?  Mixelplick, maybe nudge Manray and let him know we are still fighting 
here!

     I will be absent next turn, my darlings!  Do not fret though, you will still have 
your spy report, but it will be from Phineas.  He likes to give a special report 
anytime we hit a milestone like today's 150th turn.  I will see you in a month, and I 
can't wait to see what has changed.  I know you will have a new Duelmaster next turn, 
but what other little surprises will be waiting for me when I get back?  I will 
probably go check in on Ori in Telorinthe.  She is such a sweet child (who is about 50 
years my senior).  Ah, to have the ever-youthful appearance of the elves!  I  will see 
you in a few turns!

Sif is dead.. well that stinks. Her stats 9-9-9-17-11-15-14 experts in initiative and 
riposte. Beowulf will take up the bloodfeud. 2-3 turn I think. Hydra and Ajax being 
the only 2 wins. Disappointing turn to say the least. -- Eli

Paradox -- Thank you, but I won't be staying long.  I hope you enjoy the easy wins in 
my absence, or maybe lack thereof... -- Weirdo
