SPY REPORT
Welcome back to The Spire and all the human on dwarf, Aruaki on dwarf, dwarf on dwarf
violence you can handle! I'm sure there are some of those werewolf types and golems
in the mix too. Why are you blushing? What did you think I was going to say? Get
your mind out of the gutter! We have a lot of arena action to cover and we are going
to get slowed down by the depths of your depravity if you do not straighten up! Okay,
let's see what happened on our sands today!
We can start with the Duelmaster, as we normally do. Shirley Jackson, reigning
Duelmaster, found herself in a bloodfeud match against Zorro from Heroes & Villains.
She did not find herself there very long and won in 1 minute. Shirley retains the
title, or at least she would have if she was remaining. Shirley, or shall I say Lord
Protector Shirley Jackson, is off to the Isle of the Eye after today's fights. We bid
her farewell and good luck on future endeavors or whatever it is we say to people who
are now immortal.
With Shirley gone, we need a new Duelmaster. This is where another lady, Dorothy
Parker, steps into the scene along with Crixx. Their match for turn 414 became our
impromptu title fight. Once again, it wasn't a long match as Crixx demolished Dorothy
in a 1-minute fight. Crixx is now the top-rated Total Parry, the Duelmaster, Chartered
Recognition Leader, and a Lord Protector! Whoa, that is a lot to accomplish in a
month, much less in a single turn. Congrats to Crixx, who is managed by DMobster.

was demolished by SHIRLEY JACKSON in a 1-minute uneven Bloodfeud fight.

**********
Alright, folks, that is all the news worth reporting. We are holding steady at around
13 teams, but it is a far cry from The Spire's normal activity. Where did everyone
go? Send a carrier pigeon or magic missive to invite the managers and warriors back
onto our glorious sands. Eh, whether there are 13 or 3 (hells forbid), I will be here
giving you bums what you need the most . . . No, it's not a shower! I mean, yes, you
need one or three of those a month, but . . . What is with you guys today? The truth,
I'm giving you the truth! Sheesh! I'm leaving on that note.
