SPY REPORT
Your regular spy reporter has taken a little vacation, so you are stuck with me for
the turn, and maybe the next. I normally ply my trade over in Shadowspire (DM 81), but
the boss has sent me to this Andorian Wonderland (did that sound too sarcastic?) to
entertain the masses. My name is Huard DePriest, and you can sit back while I tell you
everything worth knowing about your quaint little abode. Oh, and I will throw in some
information about the fights too. Let's get started!
First of all, the drinking options here are terrible! I know this a tourist trap . . .
I mean popular destination for those seeking relaxation, but how can someone relax
with so few options? Granted, you have an excellent wine collection, but wine is for
relaxing. I need something that will make me forget my name and how much I spent on
last night's tab! You know I had to watch all the matches SOBER? Who does that?
Speaking of the title fight, your old Duelmaster, what was her name [shuffling notes],
Stevie Nicks! She lost in a random match against [more shuffling papers] a newly
graduated, Hoeb from Thirsty Thugs. I can see how a Lord Protector could make for a
difficult opponent, but Stevie only kept the throne for one turn. Hoeb couldn't be the
new Duelmaster, he was leaving for the Isle. We need to pick a newbie champion based
on recognition points. At the end of the day, I was still having problems with warrior
names. They eventually tell me that Enfeeblement Ray is the new champion. Congrats to
ER, and if my notes are correct, Ray is managed by DMobster.
Avoids are typically next from reading the old reports here. I enjoy this part. You
would think it would give me an idea about strong teams. You know the teams that are
intimidating to the opposition so every team gives them a wide berth. Yeah, that
happens here and there. Mostly, it just tells me who down challenges a lot. I'm not
sure about most of you guys just yet, so we will take it at face value that Pandemic
Boredom is feared and respected by the rest of the arena. It also looks like Darque
Knights fear and respect them the most! On the flip side, we have the most challenged
warrior. This is typically the warrior with the horrible record and a bull's eye
painted on the back of his armor. Fittingly, this clown is named Doctor Fool. I'm not
sure if Unlikely Heroes is mortified or honored that their warrior was the most
challenged. Everyone's favorite team . . .err team to avoid, Pandemic Boredom
challenged Doctor Fool with Bubble Burster. Doctor Fool was victorious in a quick 1-
minute fight.
There were only 5 challenge fights today. This is decent from the arena size, but it
could be better! Oh Morrissey and Bubble Burster, both of Pandemic Boredom, challenged
up 13 points to face their opponents (the turn high). Contrastingly, down 12 points is
what Edith North Johnson did to secure a victory over Kye Smallfoot. There were no
deaths today, and the blood feud against Ironclad Knight expired today. Luckily,
Thirsty Thugs was able to avenge Coherence's death over that span. Is this a normal
kill count?
There is not much else to report. Perhaps the crowds will come back once they have
recovered from the post-tourney blues or just clinical depression for the heck of it!
Sidara might be back in a few weeks, I'm not sure how that one is going to play out. I
do know that you have two weeks to prepare for the next round. There are lots and lots
of Challenge Champions that can make a play for the throne! Will anyone step up and
take the chance? Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained is what I . . . other people with
motivation to improve themselves always say! Let me simplify it for all of you - Come
back and fight! Try not to die! Enjoy yourself a little! And, most importantly, get
better alcohol! See ya bums!

PERSONAL ADS
I've been sitting around the last few days trying to remember the meaning behind
"Bubble Burster". I had completely forgotten -- what bubble was I talking about?
Housing? The stock market? Or maybe it was a reference to a song or movie? Could
someone have entered it incorrectly like they did with Doomsrolling? Finally I
remembered! -- Pappy
Darque Knights -- I want to thank you for avoiding my team. It doesn't mean much to
you but it means a lot to my guys, they were strutting around like they were halfway
decent warriors. -- Pappy
