SPY REPORT
Greetings, my dears! It's your favorite potion-peddling peanut gallery with another
peek at the punch-ups and pratfalls from the ever-entertaining Seam Arena. This turn's
tales are steeped in surprises, with familiar faces missing and a fresh crown up for
grabs!
Clutch your cloaks, kittens, as we start with the title fight! EXYL ROTT of Darque
Knights retained the Duelmaster's title, going 15-15-0 with a performance that finally
tipped into triumph. Triumph might be too strong a word. Balance? Yes, let's go with
balance. A balanced record, but with grit and grind to spare! Exyl outmaneuvered all
contenders and now gets to polish that throne again... for one last cycle, at least.
With a graduation on the scrolls, Seam will look for a new champion next turn! Who is
going to step up and fill the void?
Our spark plug of attention this cycle? The beloved Hilda Hippo of Huckle's Cats.
She's got fans, flair, and a big ol' target painted on her back. Whether for her
charming moniker or sordid record (22-25-0), challengers lined up like goblins at a
free cauldron giveaway.
Oh mercy, talk about being shunned like a foot pie at a halfling picnic! Darque
Knights was the team most avoided, with other managers treating them like a hex in the
making. It can't be their winning ways; they are barely topping .500 with a 50.8% W/L.
It could be hygiene. Eh, who knows? Rubber vs Glue bears the biggest blame for all the
sidestepping. They avoided the Darque Knights more than any other, which probably
wasn't much with only four teams active today.
Let's all wave our wands in honor of a graduating warrior, Exyl Rott. Congratulations,
brave soul -- may your blade stay sharp and your retirement peaceful. Oh, wait, she's
a Basher. May your hammer remain blunt! We can probably keep the retirement part!
Oh my sweet moonberries, the sands felt sparse this turn. Notably missing were the
ever-engaging squads of Pandemic Boredom and No Tournament Blues. Their absence was as
loud as a banshee's lullaby, leaving the arena eerily quiet. Come back soon, my
darlings! The sands miss your drama.
And that's the latest from your sultry seer of Seam. Until next time, my little
dagger-dodgers -- keep your spells prepped, your armor strapped, and for the love of
all things arcane, show up! The arena's far too empty without your beautiful mayhem.
-- Sidara Brightbell

PERSONAL ADS
I don't know if I mentioned it but 2025 is lining up to be the Year of Medical
Procedures. You already know about the skin cancer being removed by my dermatologist.
Beyond that, I finally got myself a primary physician. She recommended that I get my
Shingles and Pneumonia vaccines, which I have done. She also recommended a
colonoscopy but I opted instead for Cologuard test (not to be confused with the
Cologuard Classic golf tournament) which is kinda gross but much easier -- I mailed it
off today and I like to imagine a little bit of Pappy is traveling right now. The
next thing to do is blood work but that's got me worried since I'm pretty freaked out
by needles. I'm sure it will happen but I don't like to think about it. Kinda like Oh
Morrissey fighting his way out of the Adepts -- it's not going to be pretty. Anyway,
good health to all of you and go see your doctor! -- Pappy
