SPY REPORT
It was a deadly turn today in The Spire. I will have to look back to see how long ago
we lost so many warriors on a single turn. There were 7 deaths with most of them
happening in the Dark Arena. Clyde the Glide, one of our newest Lord Protectors,
tried his hand at facing death against Wurm Kin. It was not meant to be, and Clyde
was our first casualty. Arduin has done a bit of house-cleaning too by sending a
rookie, Throon, and Gorswampus to fight by torchlight. Throon decided today was not a
good day to die and EXECUTED Mountain Troll. Oooh, I'd love to hear the conversations
at that guild house this afternoon! Is he going back next turn? I can't wait to find
out!
Outside of the Dark Arena, we had 2 deaths. Clan Longbeard lost Lukha to Galpoh
Chipaxe. It was a relatively even fight right up until the arena master signaled it
to start. Then it was over rather quickly for Lukha. I can't wait to see if Clan
Longbeard responds. The other non-DA death happened in a random match-up between
Mirkwood Orcs and Literate Loons. In another fairly straightforward bout, Gorgol was
killed by Jacob Grimm quickly and without fanfare. Congrats to the winners and
condolences to the dead. The feuds are sure to come, but think on this wise saying,
"Revenge, the sweetest morsel to the mouth that was ever cooked in hell." Sidara, the
spy reporter in Seam, shared that with me. I'm not sure what it means, but I'm
craving BBQ now.
We are a bit out of order for this report, but it is okay. Otto's Fry Guy left for
the Isle, so we had to get a new Duelmaster. The trend lately has been Duelmaster by
recognition. Well, not this turn! Hruan fought Otto's Fry Guy and took the throne by
strength of arms. It was a quick fight, but one well-earned by Hruan, who is now the
Champion of our games! Congrats to him and his manager, Visionist.
The most avoided team today was Big Lake Solution. They were mostly avoided by Far
Travelers. They did match up randomly in which Far Travelers prevailed. Margery
Kempe was this turn's most challenged warrior. Inebriation still had an active
bloodfeud against her, so those other challenges might have been for naught. Otto's
Big-Tipper reached for the stars, going up 71 points, but to no avail.
Time for me to cut out today. It is a hot one, but not unbearable. I have often
wondered why we chose to fight on the sand. I guess it does make the blood easier to
clean up, but you could do the same with a stone floor and decent irrigation. Oh
well, they don't pay me to design arenas, but to talk about them and the fights.
Yeah, I think the deal I got is pretty sweet. So, to keep this sweet gig going, join
us in two weeks to see if Hruan can hold onto the throne. There were no graduates
today, but we had a rather large exit last turn. Farewell to those Lord Protectors and
farewell to you bums!
