                                      SPY REPORT

     There is nothing wrong with your reading glasses. Do not attempt to adjust them. 
You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe 
and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to - the Shadowspire Spy Report!  Eh, 
that's a bit much of an opening to a spy report, but we keep trying to make magic 
happen for you people!

     The title fight came down to a challenge match, which is usually a good thing.  I 
say usually because it can give some indication that people are paying attention in 
the arena.  Mandroid challenged Prince Hoyt for the throne.  It is the classic Basher 
vs. Total Parry match-up, which if we are honest can go either way.  I know the 
advantage should be to the Basher, but I also know fight histories, so I cannot use 
the word "advantage" and Basher in the same sentence without a few qualifying 
statements.  So, with all that said, congratulations to Mandroid for overcoming Prince 
Hoyt and becoming the newest Duelmaster of The Spire!  Mandroid is managed by Hombre.

     Den didn't light a fire under Prince Hoyt and give us a Duelmaster's column, so 
maybe Hombre won't disappoint us and motivate Mandroid to give a victory + farewell 
speech!  Yes, it can be a 2-for-1 special as Mandroid got his invite to the Isle of 
the Eye. Speech! Speech!  Speech!

     Okay, we have gotten some positive feedback for the stats listings, so we are 
going to keep doing them for the foreseeable future.  Here is all the relevant data 
for turn 369:

     Fights:                  39
     Dark Arena Deaths:        5 (DA Monsters were only 4-1 this turn)
     Regular Deaths:           1
     Blood Feud Challenges:    2 (2-0 for the challengers)
     Challenges:              19 (9-10-1 for the challengers)

     Biggest Up-Challenge:    30 pts.  COTTON MOUTH narrowly defeated
     BARANACLE BILL in an 8-minute veteran's Challenge match.

     Biggest Down Challenge:  46 points  YOSHA viciously subdued CURIOUS
     AGGRESSION in a 3-minute expert's Challenge melee.

     Most Holiday Ham Consumed 2021:  Huard DePriest

     My golems are mum on who is the most challenged warrior this turn.  This 
typically means there was a tie or no one bothered to challenge.  Well, I know the 
latter part is false, so there was most likely a tie.  WOW!  I was right but 
completely wrong in my assumptions!  There was a tie for most challenged (I was RIGHT) 
- but no one was challenged more than once!  I did not see that one coming. You know, 
I do not think I have ever seen that in all my years of spy reporting.  Someone always 
hates ONE guy or gal more than the others. Is this a sign you guys are getting softer 
on me?

     I do know that Literate Loons was the most avoided team.  We still have that, 
don't we or did you just decide to stop avoiding too?!?!  Vincere Aut Mori III avoided 
them the most.  I would assume with an old name, they might approach the fights in an 
old-school way. Who knows at this point, you gents are making my head hurt!  So, that 
might be my cue to split!

     You know how this wraps up.  Come back in 14 days.  Fight, maim, kill, lose a few 
fights, learn a lesson or something.  You know, I really hope to give you some 
practical advice rather than the fortune cookie drivel you normally get in these 
reports.  Then I realized, I love fortune cookies!  I mean is it a cookie?  Is it a 
cracker that just gave up on life and couldn't decide what it wanted to be, so instead 
of going to cookie school or medical school, it just hung out with its loser friends.  
Then its outer appearance just took on this misshapen and twisted form that was good 
for nothing but shoving a piece of paper into so thoughtless people could snap it in 
half without a thought . . . Do I have your attention now?  Good!  Come back next 
turn!

Ghost of Turtle -- Sorry about that, dearie!  I don't always recognize my own 
strength.  I await a feud if your fellows feel so inclined. -- Sforza

Weirdo -- Your false bravado is like an unwelcomed shift in the wind at Otto's Diner.  
No one asked for it and vomiting is sure to ensue. -- Master Darque

Gurthang -- There were dozens of others I could have matched against, but I get stuck 
with you and your particularly bothersome style. -- Scriptoria

Baranacle Bill -- I never noticed your name until that spy reporter goof pointed it 
out.  Now, I can't unsee it! Good challenge and good riddance! -- Crux Gemmata

Gazdon -- Seemed to me that was a bit of an experience gap, but I can't account for 
the Commission's match-up process. -- Mangonel

Weirdo -- Say what now?  Oh.  You meant a literal d-bag.  *shudders* Well, I don't 
know him but maybe he's nose blind to it or it's a cultural thing. I'm from Monuntial 
and we did a lot of weird things over there, so I don't judge.  Or maybe it was just 
me.  I don't know. -- Drake

Fandainch after receiving a blow: "You have to do better than that" Also Fandainch 
immediately after said blow and retort:  "Arenamaster, I give up now" Yup, that's 
definitely one of my warriors. Wouldn't expect anything less. -- Drake

Mangonel -- Stop it!  You're running a one man (golem?) train through all of my guys!  
Wait, that's not what I meant.  I mean to say... ah whatever. -- Drake

I've noticed that my warriors sometimes get hit in the left or right buttocks.  I 
always thought buttocks was plural.  As in the left buttock plus the right buttock 
combine to form the buttocks.  Right?  Or do my warriors have a pair (or more?) on 
each side?  Seriously asking.  Why is everyone looking at me like that?  Ok, the 
Mangonel thing from before was just bad phrasing... -- Drake

Prince Hoyt -- I chose you for my challenge because of the Aimed Blows you may never 
get another shot at the title. Ok OK I admit my boss had me challenge you because you 
were my best chance of surviving and staying in the Challenger Champs to get my 
invite. One more big hit and things might have ended differently, but you won and earn 
it. Congrats on becoming Duelmaster. -- Lord Protector Walken

All -- Walken will be retiring from arena competition. Here is his info, for those 
curious. 15(+1)-15(+1)-10-15(+2)-15(+1)-5-15(+1) 61 skills learned. Advanced Expert in 
Attack and Initiative and Expert in Parry. Favorites are Scimitar, High/Moderate 
rhythm and Attack skills. I tried running him defensive the first 7 fights and he went 
2-5, after that he ran like a Lunger and went 17-10. That makes 23 Clan Longbeard Lord 
Protectors and a Parry Riposte from graduating all styles twice. -- Visionist

Fandainch -- Sorry about the slug comment. You know how it goes in the heat of the 
battle. -- Xobias

Anduril -- Damn it you have got my number. -- Ulrich

Ilyena -- Beat me to a pulp and rape for skills. Go away! -- Uhkant

Bob Dalton -- Hope you heal up quickly. Til next time. -- Zagrid

Congrats to Baranacle Bill on your invites to the Isle. -- Clan Longbeard
