TEAM SPOTLIGHT
THE JOURNEY HOME
Three Shadowspire Lord Protectors, Corrin, Dunnik, and Pavil, who were all members of
the longbeard clan. One day, they received a request from their manager to return to
Shadowspire as soon as possible. The three friends agreed, and set out on their
journey to return home..
The Isle of the Eye was a beautiful place to live and their only duties were to
protect the Isle and fight in the arena if they wished. The three warriors were well-
equipped for their journey, with sturdy boots, warm cloaks, and sharp weapons. They
traveled for several days along the paths and through the wilderness. As they setup
camp for the night in the distance the friends could barely see Shadowspire. It was a
small city in the shadow of towering mountain spires.
Corrin, Dunnik, and Pavil sat around the campfire, their faces illuminated by the
dancing flames. They were all members of the Shadowspire Hall of Fame, renowned
gladiators who had fought countless battles and emerged victorious time and time
again. As they sipped their ale and reminisced about their past duels, they couldn't
help but feel a sense of pride at all they had accomplished. Corrin, the youngest of
the three, spoke first.
"I remember my first duel like it was yesterday," he said. "I was so nervous, barely
able to hold onto my sword. But I had a fire in my belly and a hunger for victory. I
remember the way the crowd roared as I stepped into the arena, the way my heart
pounded in my chest as I faced my opponent."
Dunnik nodded in agreement. "I remember my first duel too," he said. "I was already an
experienced fighter by then, but there was something different about that battle. I
knew I had to win, not just for myself but for the guild. And I did. It was a hard-
fought battle, but in the end, I emerged victorious."
Pavil chuckled. "I remember that duel," he said. "I was in the crowd that day,
watching as you two fought. And I knew then that I wanted to be just like you, to
fight like you. And now here we are, all Lord Protectors and members of the
Shadowspire Hall."
The three gladiators sat in comfortable silence for a moment, each lost in their own
memories. But then Corrin spoke up again.
"You know what I miss most about those old duels?" he said. "The thrill of the fight.
The way your heart races as you step into the arena, the way you can feel the eyes of
the crowd on you. There's nothing else like it."
Dunnik nodded. "And the satisfaction of victory," he said. "There's nothing quite like
that feeling of knowing you've bested your opponent, that you've proven yourself in
the eyes of the gods and the people."
Pavil smiled. "But most of all, I miss the camaraderie," he said. "The way we all
fought together, trained together, bonded together. We were a family, in a way, all
united by our love of the fight."
The three gladiators sat in silence once again, lost in their memories. But as the
fire burned down to embers and the night grew darker, they knew that their memories
would always live on, as would their place in the history of the Shadowspire arena.

SPY REPORT
We have made it back into respectable territory! Well, I do not want to get ahead of
myself. We have a decent number of teams in The Spire for this turn. I don't want
any of you getting a big head and thinking YOU are respectable in any way. I dodged
an arrow there! Okay, we have to get this show on the road because the daylight is
burning and I have to get moving if I want to keep my day-drinking streak alive!
Let's get to it!
How does a man of such respectable education find himself in The Spire fighting for
its top honor? I tried to get an interview with Dr. Robotnik and ask him, but he was
too busy celebrating his latest victory. In what might be our longest fight for the
championship, Dr. Robotnik was able to keep Mutombo out of the winner's chair in a 30-
minute fight! Yes, I dozed off a few times, but I saw the beginning and someone
nudged me awake to see the ending. Congrats to Dr. Robotnik!
Looks like the gladiators over at the Darque Ages guild were the most avoided today.
They were mostly avoided by NBA Legends. Our most challenged warrior is NO ONE.
There were 13 challenges issued, but none were duplicated! We have this happen from
time to time, but it is still a bit embarrassing. We know there is at least one
warrior more annoying than the others that everyone wants to smash their smug face
into the sands! Maybe next time...
BY THE NUMBERS is presented to you by Otto's Diner. We hear they have a manager's
position open after today's games. Send your applications in by pigeon, magical
parcel, or if you are truly brave, hand it in yourself.
Fights: 35
Dark Arena Deaths: 2
Non-DA Deaths: 1
Challenges: 13
Largest Up-Challenge: +14 points; MUTOMBO (81-3728) (20-4-0,94) of NBA LEGENDS
challenged DR. ROBOTNIK (81-3737) (19-5-0,108) of HEROES & VILLAINS. MUTOMBO was
outlasted by DR. ROBOTNIK in a 30-minute expert's Challenge Title fight.
Largest Down Challenge: -4 points; ELLEN RIPLEY (81-3703) (16-13-0,104) of
HEROES & VILLAINS challenged SPEKT (81-3541) (21-34-0,100) of WICKED MARTYRS.
ELLEN RIPLEY was bested by SPEKT in an exciting 1-minute veteran's Challenge
fight.
Alright, that is all the news worth reporting. Well, I must say that Clan Longbeard
did move into the top spot on the team rankings for the last 3 cycles. We did miss
their stellar 5-0, which surely contributed to their rise. Oh, and I can't forget
Spekt is our newest Lord Protector from The Spire! I guess there are other newsworthy
events happening, and my thoughts are wrapped up in a warm shot liquor that is coming
when this spy report is done. With that in mind, I bid everyone farewell and cheers!
