SPY REPORT
What is exciting on this fine day in Chimlevtal? Well THE PUMPKIN MAUL died.
What a great way to end the day of fighting. I suspect the arenamaster was sensing
the crowd's lack of enthusiasm and let this fight end in the most natural way
possible. COMPOTA did the deed and should be expecting bloodfeuds. Fortunately for
him, LG has some protection against a brutal retaliatory attack with POWERSLAVE and DA
ZAGAGNA (who is unfortunately still alive, but thanks to those who sent challenges,
hopefully trying to kill DZ - I'm also considering forging a name change request,
which I would pay for, to change the name to LASAGNA) currently ranked above all of D
Noble's warriors.
It is tourney week, which likely accounts for D Noble activating Numbers Game. I
can hope he'll leave both teams active going forward, but historically he runs one at
a time.
While the fans weren't as excited this turn, L'Guillotine was very much excited
with his 5-0-1 result and two awards. USEFUL WEAPONS and JUST DESSERTS shared the
most avoided team, with 4 avoids each. 5 of those from BASH BROS OCEAN (who also had
half of the warriors that sent an avoid at all)
DODGE'EM DUDE finally (after 7 turns of losing to MILITARY MAYHEM) got a fight
with a different warrior. He made the most of that opportunity and beat ROTTING PIER
and earned immortality. Congratulations for finally avoiding MILITARY MAYHEM (though
had MM fought this turn, the results may have been different).
Going to call that a wrap as this needs to get to print.
-- Belinda, struggling to come up with an appropriate tagline for the turn

time! --Crow Bar
I'll fight sooner or later, you know? Gettin' my wand-waving-hand back in use after a
stupid accident. (I blame Belinda!) -- Wand
Infection, enough of that crap! I'll just go to Tempe where the opponents are so much
easier. -- Sickle
La Zagagagagagagagagagag, you are nothing but dirt! -- Lead Pipe
Think, Thwack, Bury. -- Smithy
