Don't Tempt Fate

In the city of Shadowspire at the foothills of the mountains and known for its arena, 
the Clan Longbeard guild thrived. Managed by the shrewd and calculating Visionist, 
Clan Longbeard had carved out a formidable reputation in the gladiatorial world. The 
guild's warriors: Gayne, Bavil, Meade, Ahrog and Kohlbe were seasoned fighters, each 
trying to master their style.

Visionist, a man whose ambition knew no bounds, always sought ways to strengthen his 
guild's position in the arena. However, his methods were not always above board. 
Behind the scenes, he orchestrated schemes and made deals, all in the name of 
maintaining the clan's reputation.

Ahrog, one of the guild's gladiators, had begun to show signs of decline. His once 
fearsome prowess had dulled and Visionist knew that Ahrog's continued participation 
was becoming a liability. Pragmatic as he is, he decided it was time for Ahrog to meet 
an untimely end. Approaching the head of the arena infirmary, Dr. Thalos, Visionist 
proposed a clandestine deal.

"Dr. Thalos," Visionist said in a hushed tone, "Ensure that Ahrog is reported to the 
commission that he has died from his wounds. I will take care of having him disappear 
from the city and you shall be rewarded."

Thalos, swayed by the promise of a reward, agreed to the arrangement. When the day of 
the match arrived, Ahrog fought valiantly against Saucy Sheriff, but suffered 
injuries. As he was carried to the infirmary, Visionist smiled with satisfaction, 
believing his plan was set in motion. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Through a 
series of blunders, the infirmary staff managed to report to the commission that Ahrog 
had emerged from their care, battered but alive.

Visionist seethed with frustration but kept his composure, unwilling to reveal his 
machinations and he could fix the mistake next time. Two weeks later, the Arena roared 
with anticipation as the next round of fights commenced. This time Gayne, a veteran 
warrior approaching his invite to the Isle, took to the sands. He fought with ferocity 
against his opponent Wonder Woman, but the brutal contest left him severely injured. 
Once again, the manager's thoughts turned to the infirmary.

In a cruel twist of fate, the infirmary staff, still grappling with their previous 
mistake, confused their orders. Believing they were fulfilling Visionist's original 
command, they actually allowed Gayne to die from his injuries. When the news reached 
the Longbeard manager, he was consumed by a mix of horror and fury. Gayne's death had 
been a tragic mistake.

Yet, Visionist found himself trapped. He could not voice his outrage or seek 
retribution, for the entire arrangement had been shrouded in secrecy. Any attempt to 
complain would expose his own nefarious dealings, potentially causing unknown 
complications.

As Shadowspire's night cloaked the city in darkness, the manager sat alone in his 
office, grappling with the consequences of his actions. The death of Gayne weighed 
heavily on him, a grim reminder that even the most carefully laid plans could unravel 
in the shadows of deceit. From that day forward, he vowed to be more cautious, knowing 
that in the ruthless world of gladiatorial combat, every secret deal could carry a 
perilous cost.

                                      SPY REPORT

Come one and Come all to the jewel of the no-tourney arenas! Come to Shadowspire! 
Welcome again to our glorious stands to watch these warriors battle for their lives on 
the sands. No, your eyes do not deceive you! It is me, Huard DePriest, present and 
accounted for to deliver you all The Spire news you need. Sit back and enjoy the show, 
or don't enjoy the show, I don't care. Just sit back and be quiet while I get through 
this report.

As happens often, our former Duelmaster was leaving for the Isle, so we needed to 
select a new one. The first possible title fight was between two newly minted Lord 
Protectors. Sir Charles challenged Aleksandr, the reigning Duelmaster, for a no-holds-
barred match of immortals. It is easy to go all-out when you have nothing to lose but 
a fight. Aleksandr was victorious, but he was leaving. So, we move to the next title 
fight, or what becomes the title fight in hindsight.

After Aleksandr, Wonder Woman was our most recognized warrior and a prime candidate to 
take the throne. She matched up with Hana from the Far Travelers stable and made short 
work of her to take the throne. Congrats to WW on her achievement! She was doubly 
blessed by receiving a graduation notice. So, you know the drill? We will have a new 
Duelmaster next turn. Everyone start jockeying for position now!

The ladies and gents over at Big Lake Solution are the most avoided for turn 451. It 
appears Dragonbane Guild was not interested in facing them on the sands. The warrior 
with the largest target on his or her back today is Ahna Misstep from Big Lake 
Solution. She was bloodfeuded by the Cult of Bacchus's warrior, Ottobot. A bold 
challenge but unfruitful as Ahna won. Ahna Misstep also got an invite from the 
Gladiatorial Commission, and she will be leaving next turn too. It is nice to have 
double graduates on consecutive turns. It has been a while since we have seen such 
movement at the top.

Death was confined to the Dark Arena today, so there is not much to report in that 
department. Den and his Big Lake Solution crew retain the top spot for the last 3-
turns. Far Travelers made a giant leap into 2nd place, while NBA Legends fell from 3rd 
into 9th. We want to welcome the new team, Raven's Nest. Feel free to introduce 
yourself in the personal ads. We want you to make yourself at home, and you will 
hopefully come to enjoy our little slice of paradise in The Spire!

I better be moving along. Novgorodny Vir, who does the general report that goes back 
to the Isle said a woman of good breeding scorns the warriors of Shadowspire. I want 
to remind him that even women of good breeding dig scars! Now one is allowed to insult 
you bums but me! So, come back next time you smelly, half-wits. Show off your scars 
tonight at Otto's Diner! Just stay away from the salad bar if you are bleeding! I'll 
see you next cycle!

Dago Dracospear -- Looks like the erudite ol' Master Darque is enjoying having one 
over on you from an etymology standpoint, thinking he can get you to believe anything 
and then giggling about it when you do.  You see, Spargle actually means "Asparagus" 
in Low-, Med- and High- and any other "ieval" language all throughout Europe.  From 
15th-century Middle High German sparge, spargen, sparges, from Medieval Latin 
asparagus, it's a really big deal with some folks. Every year, the appearance of white 
asparagus in the markets and supermarkets heralds the arrival of spring in Germany. An 
entire asparagus-eating etiquette has been developed for Spargelzeit, or asparagus 
season. Spargelzeit is a compound word built from the roots for Asparagus and Time. It 
is, quite literally, Asparagus-Time: each Asparagus-Time, with the pleasure of the 
first jacket-less days and special asparagus menus posted outside every restaurant, is 
more like the other Asparagus-Times than the Times Without Asparagus by which they are 
framed. To celebrate, each village with a significant asparagus-growing apparatus 
crowns its own Queen of Asparagus, who serves as the ambassador for her town and its 
crop.  The Queen of Asparagus appears at street fairs in towns and cities, she 
distributes signed photographs in which she poses: sometimes clutching the stalks in 
her hands, sometimes distributing them from a basket, sometimes lying in the fields in 
her sash and gesticulating wildly, as if at the very fecundity of the Earth.  This 
latter, of course, reminds one of Dense.  But, in any event, it's a sad state of 
affairs when good Master Darque tries to sell you on Spargle meaning, in some faraway 
place and time, effectively, the common rhetorical tool of "whataboutism".  He's 
probably secretly bitter about losing his Asparagus warrior and, regrettably, sought 
to lash out as he is sometimes wont to do.  Chins up, Dago and your fellow Dragonbane 
guildmates, as you rightly take the high road and ignore his chicanery. -- Vlad

Of trying to win popularity for myself there can be no question. On the contrary, I am 
only too well aware that the case has gained me numerous enemies, some clearly 
apparent and others lurking secretly. And so, gentlemen, holding this high office and 
enjoying all the favours you have conferred, I have decided I must regard my own 
private interests and advantages as insignificant in comparison with your will, and 
the welfare of our country, and the safe preservation of the provinces and allies of 
the Roman state. -- Marcus Tullius Cicero, speech before the senate

Hana -- Is your last name Shieldbreaker? -- Bavil the Inquisitive

All -- Another infirmary death! Gayne -- ST -- 12-(+1)-5-15-15-11-12-15, he was an 
honorable warrior who deserved better. Farewell, brother. -- Visionist
