                                      SPY REPORT

    Only 3 challenges out of 16 fights with zero down challenges? Were the matchups 
simply not available?  Was everyone happy letting fate decide?  Were the avoids extra 
effective this time out?  Is everyone simply getting ready for the upcoming 
tournament?  I don't know, but certainly not the norm here.
    The title fight was the most interesting fight this turn.  Aimed Blow vs. Total 
Parry scum.  You'd expect the final result, but not that it went 7 full minutes.  
Perhaps WITCHING HOUR should take lessons from the former DM, WINTER, who viciously 
butchered LIGHTBRINGER in an immortal dark arena challenge.  Regardless, TANKEN 
finally did overcome (perhaps it would be different in two weeks, closer to Halloween) 
and jumped over 3 other contenders in the rankings to be on top at the end of the 
turn.  4 awards for TANKEN.  These are TANKEN's first political points.
    Besides the two fights mentioned above, only two other fights went beyond the 
first minute.  GOLDFINCH overcame EL CHUPACABRAS and somehow PERSISTENT BEGGAR took 
CHARYBDIS into the second minute before losing. Probably not a wise move, though, 
because the Beggar was all tired out and in the next fight, INDIGNATION killed that 
PERSISTENT BEGGAR in INDIGNATION's inaugural fight.
    SALT WATER got win #14 and is off to ADM.  I'm rooting for an Arenamaster matchup 
for SALT WATER <evil grin>!  Now if we could just convince Lady Smith to enter the 
Dark Arena...
    The most challenged warrior was BLUEBIRD.  RAVEN's challenge was the one that was 
recognized.  The most avoided team was HOGWART'S STUDENTS, receiving 7 avoids from 5 
teams.  AFTER MIDNIGHT and CARTOON NETWORK each issued a pair of avoids.  Meanwhile, 
the STUDENTS were taking a break.
    Slashers and Parry Strikes were undefeated with 7 wins.  Bashers were winless with 
2 losses.  Parry Lungers and Parry Ripostes were not represented.
    BASH BROS OCEAN and THE OTHER ONES each went 4-0 on the sands, splitting the 
awards not won by TANKEN.  USEFUL WEAPONS went 2-0 and retook the top career honors 
(not on the strength of that 2-0, but because the STUDENTS were not active).  One 
would think that 10 wins from three teams would give a lot of losses to the rest of 
the teams, but half of those wins were against npc's.
    The tourney runs before the next turn here in Chimlevtal.  Perhaps I can pick up a 
few teasers from the commission for the report.

             -- Belinda, favored by Lady Smith over all the other floozy spy reporters  
                in all of Chimlevtal
