                                      SPY REPORT

     OH. MY. WORD.  Is it arena day again in Shadowspire?  Somebody turn off that 
light, it is giving me a horrible headache!  Oh, that's the sun?  Well, nevermind 
then!  Someone bring me a scroll and something to write with so I can jot down these 
perfectly incoherent thoughts on arena fights that I have appeared to miss.  Thank the 
gods for golems!  And no, I am not intoxicated.  I WAS intoxicated at all the after 
tourney parties.  This is just the aftermath.  We better get to the arena news before 
Phineas comes snooping around and wonders what is taking me so long.

     I have a savage headache, which is a weak segue for introducing last turn's 
Duelmaster -- SAVAGE!  Along with Duelmaster, he is Shadowspire's top-rated Lunger.  
He was challenged by Tutter, who just happens to be Shadowspire's top-rated Basher.  
So, we have a real contest of champions going on here.  Savage apparently needs to 
turn the savagery up a notch since he lost to Tutter.  I'm sure there is a drink for 
that, Savage, so maybe consult the Cult of Bacchus for tips. Congrats to Tutter on 
taking the title and becoming our new Duelmaster!

     Avoid mixing wine and beer!  I have it on good authority (my stomach) that it is 
not a good combination.  Another terrible lead-in, but I'm sure there are a few more 
to come.  You can also avoid mixing Big Lake Solution with Pray the Gods.  It appears 
Big Lake Solution is our most avoided team with Pray the Gods leading the pack away 
from Den's crew.  Ginsu of Oakleaf is this turn's most challenged warrior. Lon Pepper 
got the call to face Ginsu, but he soon regretted it. Ginsu chopped him and made short 
work of his challenger.

     Have I mentioned my head is killing me?  How fitting as I talk about all those 
that got killed on turn 318.  See what I did there? Bah, you guys and gals are no fun!  
Big Lake Solution was busy this turn, contributing 2 kills to our totals.  Fatty 
McFatFat killed Jessie Kravik from the OHS Alumni guild.  The Human Wonder then 
executed Raisin D'Etre, a rookie to our fair arena.  Normally, I would say there is 
always the Tournament of the Dead, but this is Shadowspire, so I can't say that with a 
straight face.  Otto's Diner also lost another gladiator when Susie Steffen put down 
Scorned Beef. Wicked Martyrs are mourning the loss of Rhag to the blade of Pengo. So, 
our death total for turn 318 is 6 deaths, 2 in the Dark Arena. Otto's Diner sent 1 to 
the night fights, so they lost 3 this turn, but only one was planned.

     Savage may have lost the throne, but the turn wasn't a total bust.  He did catch 
the eye of the Commission and received an invitation to the Isle of the Eye.  He will 
be joined by Hominid from The Commodores.  Congrats to the both of you on your newly 
granted immortality!  We bid a fond farewell to you both and wish you luck!

     Visionist and Clan Longbeard are back?  How long have I been out of it?  Oh, they 
were here last turn.  Sorry for not seeing it! Welcome back to one of the original 
starting teams in Shadowspire, Clan Longbeard!  And they are gone again!  I better get 
going too.  I am scared to dabble with the "hair of the dog" remedy at this moment, 
but I feel so miserable that I'll try anything.  So, come back next time, I should be 
in a better state.

All -- Since I neglected to write a DM column last turn, I'll give you my super-boring 
stats here.  9-10-14-17-15-8-11 ST, norm/good.  16-9-1 record. Not bad for a guy who 
ordinarily wouldn't get run, but Otto was in the throes of a DA replacement drought, 
so I got my shot.  The rest, as they say, is history. -- Pesto Pete. 20th graduate 
from Otto's Diner

Clan Longbeard -- Welcome back!  Too long was your absence from these halls! In honor 
of Clan Longbeard's return to Shadowspire, there will be an all-you-can-eat mutton and 
grog feast at Otto's Diner this Sunday! -- Otto
