SPY REPORT
To any newcomers, welcome to the glorious jewel that is known as Shadowspire
throughout the land! To all you regular bums, welcome back, I guess. It has been an
exciting day in the arena if you are into epic fights, down challenges, and blood on
the arena sands. If you aren't into those things, why are you even here? Go away!
No one likes you! Ahem, okay, let's take a look at our action for turn 340.
Castillon rose up the ranks quickly and took the throne last turn from a departing
Lord Protector. While this makes for a compelling story on the Shadowspire Yellow
Press back page, it is usually not a good career move in the arena. Rising too
quickly through the ranks has its own set of problems! A healthy group of Challenger
Champions sat below Duelmaster Castillon, who was going to get the call? It looks as
if Tummy Tum Tum sought the glory of a battle for the throne! Well done warrior!
Unfortunately, it was not meant to be and Castillon remains our Duelmaster!
The most avoided team was Darque Ages. They have the current Duelmaster, but I don't
see anything worth avoiding before on the sands. Maybe the managers are more in the
know than me . . . . HAHAHA! Sorry, I almost said that with a straight face. Anyway,
Darque Ages is the most avoided for whatever reason we can concoct. They were mostly
avoided by Clan Longbeard. The most challenged warrior belongs to Otto's Diner. You
heard me! The deadly Gemini Croquette received the most challenges this turn. I
wonder how many of them were from Oakleaf? It really doesn't matter. What does
matter is that Dragon of Oakleaf bloodfeuded Gemini and was able to avenge 2 deaths in
one fight! Now that is what I call efficient!
The last few turns have been deadly, but there was a slight reprieve from all the
bloodshed this turn. Shadowspire lost only 1 warrior this cycle. Hawkwood matched up
randomly with Leper's Other Hand. Too bad for Hawkwood! He didn't walk away from this
one as Leper's Other Hand killed him in a 1-minute fight. Apart from that single
kill, it was a relatively bloody turn, just not as deadly as the preceding turns.
Lord Protector Evon leaves us after fighting today. He is the 25th graduate from the
Cult of Bacchus stable. He will be followed next turn by Whatevs, Oakleaf's newest
graduate, and Shadowspire's newest Lord Protector. LP Whatevs is Oakleaf's second
graduate and first Striker from this Shadowspire team. Congrats to both Evon and
Whatevs on their stellar accomplishments! Which leads me to ask, what are the rest of
you bums doing with your lives? Go out and make something of yourself like these two
warriors just did! Quit standing around! Get to work!
Time for me to get out of here! All of this yelling has made my throat sore and in
need of a warm ale! Which one of you losers is buying the next round? Just name the
place and I'll be there like a mustache on an Otto's Diner waitress! Come back next
turn and do all the gladiator stuff again. Rinse. Repeat. See you then!

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
Algernon, who had NOT gotten the name change he'd asked for, looked at the latest
petitioner. This was a typical gladiator, big, muscular, and scarred, with a frown.
"Ah, what can I do for you?"
"Name change. I heard we can do that. I'm tired of being Jane Doe."
"I'd think you would be," Algernon said faintly. "The Commission has actually
been thinking about this. It isn't FREE, mind you! It takes money to run our office,
you know, and we want to buy some goats--"
"I don't care about goats!" He made a crude suggestion about goats.
"Gladiators, teams, it will cost you two dollars to make a change--"
"I had a talk with my manager. He'll find the money. I want to change my name
to Jane Ralph. I'm no doe!" He thumped a fist on the counter.
"Er, yes. Jane Ralph. Fill out this form, please." He pushed the paper across
the counter. "The changes start on the 15th of April--that's the Ides, you know, and
can be submitted through the end of May. With the payment. No change without the
goat, ah, the gold."
* * * * *
Warrior and team name changes will be accepted beginning April 15 and continuing
throughout the month of May. The cost will be $2 per name change. All proceeds will
be used to buy goats via Heifer International and will be matched up to $500.
If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
