SPY REPORT
Hail STORMCROWE! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. M.C. challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone
YUPPIE SHELTER's warrior. Defending its title for another turn, MAR-A-LAGO kept AVID
FANS' warrior, M.C., from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have
heard from unimpeachable sources that The Shadow's Fountain uses trolls in their
stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the GOING BERSERK
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on STORMCROWE, what are you afraid
of? And guess who avoided GOING BERSERK stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
AVID FANS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was AVID FANS'
warrior THE BRUTE SQUAD. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster! In a brave attempt, PAYNE ERYE from DARQUE FORCES challenged up 22
points to fight BIG BEN from the GOING BERSERK stable. PAYNE ERYE perhaps got hers
just desserts, seeing as she beat BIG BEN and ended up with 56 recognition points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? The Shadow's Fountain declares a free round for BLIZZARD-RAT and all
of RAT PAK, for having revenged GOING BERSERK's ONTOR for killing one of their
comrades. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, STORMCROWE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

The Brute Squad -- I did get the distinct feeling I was fighting more than one fighter
during our recent battles. I wonder how your manager got you past the GC security
protocols? lol -- Razor-Rat
This team sure does lose a lot of it's warriors. :( -- Ghost of Tia-Rat
Air BnB -- Begone ye olde beast, quit making fun of an olde beastie like me --
Security Guard
Razor-Rat -- You on the other hand, Mr. Vermin, are the only one that I'm actually
able to challenge, so hopefully round 3 is better for me. -- The Brute Squad
Ash'Rak -- Apparently, that was MC's strategy, not mine. Unfortunately, the
commission won't remove the win from my record -- Peanut Salesman

Name Change-o-Rama -- Final Update
The gladiators looked around at the Commission's administrative office on the
Isle of the Eye. They'd been here before. The standard boxy building, the scurrying
clerks, the... goats browsing on the landscaping. Not as many goats this time as
before, only three. One came over to Zeke (not his arena name) and nuzzled his
pockets. He scratched at the base of its floppy ears, lacking a snack to offer. He
looked at one of the clerks. "I thought you got rid of the goats last year," Zeke
said.
"These are new goats," the clerk said with a sigh. "They're going to be shipped
out next week." He looked hopeful. "They like you, could you stay until then?"
Zeke sighed. Minding three goats sounded more enjoyable than fighting in the
arena. "I'd have to ask my manager."
* * * *
Snatching his parchment away from a very determined goat, who apparently thought
it was a tasty snack, Rodney quickly dipped his pen in ink and began to write. "It is
our pleasure and honor to note that sixty-seven gladiators and teams have elected to
change their names, supporting the contribution of goats to deserving people. With
the Commission's matching funds, this has purchased three goats--a good goat can't be
purchased for a copper, you know. The goats are already en route to their new homes,
where they will be--" He paused and thought about it. "--very welcome. We wish all
the best to the goats and their new owners."
