                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, all you wee little ones are welcome for my stepping into this role.  While I 
wait for a new throne to be built to my, ah, particular specifications, let's look 
around.

I challenged Poo Shower because who can abide that?  Rishvi spend an entire day 
delousing after her fight with him.  And he's squishy to boot.

Savage was a one hit wonder, of course, most are.  That bodes well for my Isle 
aspirations.  Grats to him and Hominid.

See you next week!

                                          -- Tutter McFay

                                      SPY REPORT

Welcome to Shadowspire!  It is a beautiful day in the arena with the armor shining and 
the swords singing.  I feel like I didn't quote that cliche correctly, but whatever, 
it's FIGHT day!  Yes!  The day we have all been waiting for has arrived and it was an 
exciting one!  I don't have to tell you!  Wait!  This is a spy report, I do have to 
tell you!  Alright, get ready for the recap!

We are going to work in reverse of our usual order today.  I figure we save the big 
fight for last.  You know, make it like a grand finale! Phineas keeps telling me to 
spice it up a bit, but there are only so many ingredients to work with here!  Alright, 
I can't really say much about the dead.  All of the deaths were in the Dark Arena for 
turn 319.  While those fights can be exciting, it in no way matches the thrill of 
seeing death on the regular sands.  There were a few bloodfeuds, so the turn wasn't a 
complete washout.  Big Lake Solution had a 2-kill turn last cycle.  OHS Alumni and 
Otto's Diner came calling this turn to collect a bit of vengeance.  Susie Steffen 
avenged her teammate against Fatty McFatFat (still fun to say), but Quesadeity got 
stuffed against The Human Wonder.

It looks as if Cult of Bacchus is the most avoided team.  They were avoided the most 
by Darque Ages.  The already mentioned Susie Steffen is our most challenged warrior 
for this turn.  Looks like all those challenges were wasted since she executed her 
teams bloodfeud challenge.  OHS Alumni seems to be in our report a lot this turn 
(possible foreshadowing statement).  So, let's take it a bit further and recognize the 
turn's highest up-challenge.  Lon Pepper challenged up 22 points to face Rishvi.  I 
can't lie and say that most of us were a bit shocked when Lon Pepper won the fight.  
To be honest, it was a bit one-sided, which only added to our surprise!  Can't mention 
the biggest up-challenge without also mentioning our turn 319's lone down challenge.  
For shame, Darque Ages!  Hastings challenged down 8 points to fight Stumbling Drunk of 
Inebriation.  Really?!?  You down challenged a drunkard?  No one is surprised that 
Hastings won the fight, or maybe you are.  There was a lot of stumbling, and I think 
it kinda works as a fighting style!  Who knew?

Goodbye to Savage and Hominid!  They leave us after fighting this turn.  They have 
achieved immortality and a chance to continue their training on the Isle of the Eye.  
We have a few other warriors that are getting close to graduation.  Is this not the 
goal of every fighter?  To reach the heights of skill and be recognized by those 
around you?  Yeah, it sounds cheesy, but I've never met anyone bummed out by the 
possibility of immortality!  Okay, maybe a few . . .

Now for the big finish!  Tutter challenged Pooh Scheuer in the title fight.  It 
appeared to be a great match up going into the final fight of the day.  I mean look at 
the possibilities here!  Shadowspire's Duelmaster and top-ranked Basher in a fight 
against the top-ranked Aimed Blow!  It could be epic!  In truth, it was actually 
pretty great!  Tutter LOST the fight, but it wasn't a one-sided affair like so many 
matches in the arena! 

Congratulations to Pooh Scheuer on taking the throne!  If my records are correct, Pooh 
is OHS Alumni's first Duelmaster in Shadowspire! You now have the daunting task of 
defending the throne.  I do not have to tell you that the Challenger Champions below 
you are a hungry lot! Show no fear!  Pooh Scheuer and teammates at OHS Alumni are 
managed by Chad.  Congrats once again on the accomplishment!

Time for me to get out of here!  I know you are happy to hear those words!  No 
worries, I'll be back in two weeks to bother you bums some more!  Until then, practice 
hard and try not to die before turn 320. It is tragic when you fall on the sands, but 
it is a bit pathetic when you big, fearsome warriors leave this mortal coil because of 
a freak farm accident or sword-wound infection.  Don't be a fool, don't stand behind a 
horse and let the healers look at it!  See you all next time!
