SPY REPORT
Before I started writing this spy report, the boss told me to be accurate, brief, and
then be seated. I'll be as brief as I possibly can, no matter how long it takes!
Welcome back to Shadowspire! We are the jewel, the most illustrious no-tourney arena
in the land of Alastari! So, you have come to the right place if you want to be
entertained by the fighters and amazed by the buffoonery! Okay, let's get to it today
because I have a few other things I need to do before the light fades this evening.
I really wish these guys would make up their minds about this Duelmaster's title! It
feels like we get a new guy up here about every week! Can't any of you hold onto that
big comfortable chair for more than a turn? Bah, of course, you can! You have just
chosen to be difficult and make me work more and more. Xiqueel was our Duelmaster,
key emphasis on the was. We didn't have a lot of challenges this turn, but Hakeem
made sure to try his hand at this arena champion gig. He totally dunked on Xiqueel
and is our new Duelmaster! Congrats to Hakeem, who is managed by . . . someone.
Alright, time for BY THE NUMBERS, which is always brought to us by Otto's Diner.
Fights: 28 (same as the last turn)
Bloodfeuds: 0
Dark Arena Deaths: 2 (1-1 for the DA Crew)
Non-DA Deaths: 1
Challenges: 9
Largest Up-Challenge: +9 points. SAI (81-3678) (13-3-0,69) of PRAY THE
GODS challenged LAUDINA (81-3658) (14-12-2,78) of MADNESS. SAI unbelievably
bested LAUDINA in a popular 4-minute brutal Challenge fight.
Largest Down Challenge: +13 points. JIHL BLAZEFURY (81-3735) (8-4-0,56) of
BIG LAKE SOLUTION challenged CLYDE THE GLIDE (81-3732) (6-5-0,43) of NBA
LEGENDS. JIHL BLAZEFURY unbelievably bested CLYDE THE GLIDE in a 6-minute
competition.
Most Avoided: NBA Legends
Avoiding Most: Clan Longbeard
Most Challenged: Shirley Jackson of Literate Loons
It looks like Clan Longbeard has lost another promising warrior. Slaine leaves the
arena at 12-5 and is the second warrior that Clan Longbeard has lost on the sands in
the last 4 turns. Death is part of arena life, which sounds like a nice pithy quote.
But, it still stings when you lose veteran warriors. Condolences to Visionist and his
crew. We await to see the intensity of this bloodfeud since it was a challenge kill.
Time for me to go, ya bums! Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you are so sad, but I need to cut
out and get my drink on. I mean, I put in these long hours watching the gladiators
exercise. I watch them slash, stab, and bash one another, and then I talk about it!
It is exhausting! I need a drink! Oh wait, I already said that, so I better get
going. See you next time.

PERSONAL ADS
Visionist -- Thank you for your continued efforts on the Shadowspire HOF Reports. I
have always enjoyed looking them over even before I had anyone on the list. Having two
now is pretty sweet. BTW, I assume that once in the HOF a warrior can not get bumped
out of the HOF? Not sure why they would, but just curious. Thanks, again -- Boss Orc
P.S. Not like any of my current crop of losers has any chance. They are performing, as
expected. In the old days I'd abuse the dark arena and dump the corpses in the river,
but I grow soft in my old age and really don't want to face the wails and cries of
anguish from their families. Not that their families care about them, just the lost
income from their paltry allowance. Orcs, amirite? LOL
Hakeem -- Wow that was brutal! Good luck in th future. -- Lord Protector Uhkant in the
Shadows
Khalhums Dwarf -- You are one tough dude! -- Slaine
Sting -- I guess I will have to take that loss for the training. -- Ruinn the Amenable
Wormtoungue -- Medeocrity has kicked in. -- Fenrir the Flat
Komma -- You fight like you are in one. -- Gayne the Snide
