SPY REPORT
Hello, duel fans! It is great to be back in the spy reporter's seat after a long
week of travel. My long, arduous journeys have taken me throughout the land of
Alastari. The dangers and intrigue of the road coupled with duplicitous colleagues
and wild animals were almost unbearable! What? You don't believe me? Oh, so you know
I just went and watched the grand tournament? Well, then . . . Oh hey! Looks like we
have an exciting turn to report in Shadowspire, so let's get into that, shall we?
A graduation notice and a few bloodfeuds to avenge sounds like the start of a
great book! Jed Sawyer only had the latter coming into the round and perhaps had a
chance for the former if he can win. With open feuds against Kill 'Em All and Darque
Ages, it seemed unlikely we were going to see our Duelmaster face off against any of
the Challenger Champions. Well, at least that is what the bookies were predicting.
And you know what? They were correct. Jed bloodfeuded the lesser ranked Tomahawk
just as he had done the previous 2 turns. BUT, and I do mean exclamation point, BOLD
LETTERING, "BUT!" It did not end the same way as the previous turns. We have a new
Duelmaster folks! Tomahawk, 4-4-1 overall record, is our newest Champion in
Shadowspire! What an amazing feat! Tomahawk is managed by Weirdo.
The most challenged warrior for the turn is Benjamin of Wicked Martyrs. Not one
to sit around, Benjamin may have been most challenged, but it was his challenge
against Child Smasher the Commission approved. Benjamin beat Child Smasher in a 3
minute fight. See what I did there? I mixed up my usual order! You have to keep up!
So, where was I? Oh yeah, the most avoided team is the absent Pray the Gods guild.
I'm not sure what exactly they were avoiding but Kill 'Em All avoided the most.
The Commodores and Dyslexic Music ended last turn tied for the top team with
Wicked Martyrs in striking distance. Hombre's crew came through and The Commodores
take over sole possession of first place at 10-5-0. Cult of Bacchus moves up to 2nd
in a tie with the 3rd place team, Dyslexic Music at 9-6-0. Monster Manual and Wicked
Martyrs round out the top 5. A hearty welcome to OHS Alumni as they join our fine
arena. They enter with a respectable 3-2-0 record. We also want to welcome back From
the Left to Shadowspire. Our self-proclaimed "Progressives" didn't make very much
progress with their 0-5-0 turn.
There was only 1 death this turn and it occurred in the Dark Arena. While
nothing much happened by way of killing this turn, there was lots of action as a
result of killing in previous turns. Tomahawk's successful defense has already been
noted, but it was not the only bloodfeud War Machine found themselves in for the turn.
Gloryhound feuded Bosworth of Darque Ages to avenge the fallen Vinnie. Gloryhound was
successful, so congratulations are in order. WWE has been busy killing the last few
turns. Rat Catcher from Kill 'Em All was hoping to reverse that trend. He was able
to avenge his fallen comrade and feed WWE a bit of sand in the process!
Time for me to go! I want to see each of you back next arena day! Can the
Duelmaster defend his seat? Is Cult of Bacchus watering down their wine? Will Otto's
Diner pass the health inspection? Maybe. Yes. No. Sorry to spoil it all for you,
but the anticipation was killing me! Come back anyway! I will see you next time!

Name Change-o-Rama -- Final Update
Algernon looked at the goats and sighed. No doubt it was a Good Deed to give
goats to people who wanted them. But why did the goats have to be gathered in HIS
office? Four of them, and they were a lot like gladiators: not smelly maybe, they
were clean goats, but pushy and sure they were the most important thing around. Maybe
they should be enrolled in the arena? No, there were only four, not enough for a
team.
He shook his head to clear it of the image of armored goats with sharpened horns.
One thing at a time. He pulled a piece of paper out of his desk drawer, dipped his
pen in the ink, and began to write.
"It is our pleasure and honor to note that ninety-eight 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 four 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 the new goat-owners."
