                                      SPY REPORT

     Good afternoon and welcome to Shadowspire.  The cold weather appears to have kept 
many people home from the arena today.  Teams and spectators were sparse, but the 
recent Grand Tournament may have had a hand in a few absences as well.  As the old 
horse trainers say, "You 'ave ta race what ye brought to da track!"  And so, we'll 
have fights with those that are here!  Let's get to the arena action. 
     Sir Racha took the throne last turn from the departing Powder Monkey.  His first 
opportunity to defend his throne came against another member of the Shanghaied guild 
in Three Sheets.  It was a random fight and it was a quick one and the winner is... 
SIR RACHA!  He continues his hot streak (see what I did there) and keeps the throne.  
He'll get another chance to defend it next turn against a small group of Challenger 
Champions. I mean seriously, pick up the recruiting numbers, ladies and gentlemen.  It 
is starting to look sad! 
     The most avoided team was Wicked Martyrs.  Big Lake Solution avoided them the 
most.  The most challenged warrior for the turn was Bottom Feeder of Kill Em All.  
Azabelle from Cult of Bacchus was the lucky contestant that got her challenge through 
to the popular Bottom Feeder.  I guess "lucky" is a relative term since Bottom Feeder 
came out on top in a 4 minute fight.  There were only 23 fights for the turn and 10 
were challenges.  Has Shadowspire entered a slump from its once glorious days as the 
No Tourney Jewel? 
     Since the turn was down, many other things that we report upon regularly were 
down as well.  There were not that many deaths.  Two met their end in the Dark Arena, 
and the less than stellar records of The Pledge and Kisma make it easy to see why they 
were sent to fight by torchlight.  The one regular death that occured in the main 
arena happened against Otto's Diner.  Phobia from Uyphy Asylum put down Napkin Holder 
in a random matchup. 
     Otto's Diner takes over the number one spot as Shanghaied gets pushed out and 
relegated to 5th place.  Kill Em All moves up one spot to 2nd, while Uyphy Asylum 
enters the top 5 at 3rd place, up from 7th last turn.  Monster Manual remains steady 
at 4th.  The biggest loser for the turn belongs to Shanghaied for their 4 spot drop.  
The biggest gain belongs to Uyphy Asylum for their 4 spot jump. 
     Time for me to get out of here.  Logs aren't gonna put themselves on the fire.  
I'm not going to put them there either, but I do have to go pay the gentlemen who 
deliver the wood to the Yellow Press offices.  I wonder if there is a golem that could 
order wood for me me so I do not need to leave the comfort of my warm, cozy office?  
Bah, seems far-fetched that there would be that type of service in this world or any 
other.  Until next time, duel fans!
