SPY REPORT
Welcome back to Shadowspire! I would say it is good to see each of you, but
there is no point starting this spy report out with a lie! I might end it with a few,
but it is not a good starting point, or so I've been told. Let's get right into the
arena action because the changing seasons and shorter days do not leave much time for
idle chatter!
Lord Protector Martial Slaw took the throne and got his invitation to the Isle of
the Eye last turn. It was a mighty show if you were able to witness it! On his
departing turn, Martial Slaw could not keep the throne, but he could leave with a win
against a Challenger Champion. Sadly, this was not the case. Dante, a former
Duelmaster, posted a challenge to Martial Slaw. You would expect an epic battle
between these two veteran warriors. Sadly, this was not the case (I feel like I'm
going to be saying this a lot in this report). Dante killed Martial Slaw in the Title
match! Glorious to behold if you are a fan of Dante, yet the exact opposite feeling
if you favored Martial Slaw. YET, it is not a sad ending because Martial Slaw was
declared a Lord Protector last turn, so the healers were sent in to bring him back to
the land of the living. Congrats to Dante, who is managed by Master Darque.
Kill 'Em All was inactive this turn, but they also happen to be the most avoided
team. Pray the Gods, who had a stellar 4-1-1 turn, avoided them the most. Our
Duelmaster was the most challenged warrior, but not by much. There were only 12
challenges issued for the turn. Otto's Diner remains the top team in the arena with a
9-6-1 record. Big Lake Solution made a big jump from 7th into 2nd place, while Darque
Ages moved up 1 spot to 3rd. OHS Alumni also had an impressive gain, up a total of 6
spots from 10th to 4th with a 4-1-1 effort. Closing out the top 5, Inebriation
slipped from 2nd to 5th.
Death favored parity on turn 307. There were 6 deaths with 3 coming via the Dark
Arena and 3 in the regular arena. Two of the Dark Arena deaths were Rookies. The
other death by candlelight saw more than a few eyebrows raised in surprise. Pray the
Gods' only loss came when Vlad sent Kushnumah to face Stone Golem. With Pray the Gods
still in our view, we note that Rishvi executed Cysted Twister of Dyslexic Music.
Donny Stark then killed Epic from Oakleaf in an Initiates match. We have already
mentioned the shocker, where Dante killed Martial Slaw in the Title match! Whew! It
was a bloody turn for sure!
Time for me to go. You don't have to look so happy about it. There are some that
are celebrating some type of festival. It looks like a harvest party from all the
decor, but who knows. In a melting pot like Alastari, I have found any day can be a
special celebration depending upon where you find yourself. So happy ___insert your
festival here___ from me to you! Unless you don't celebrate anything, then you're a
killjoy and I hope you're miserable!
