***---------*---------*---------*---------**---------*---------*---------*---------***

In the heart of Shadowspire, where the shadow of the mountain peaks reach, the Clan 
Longbeard guild house is a sanctuary of warmth and light. The house's main hall is 
lined with portraits, each etching a history of the clan's greatest warriors. The 
guild's leaders, Corrin, Dunnik and Pavil, sharp-eyed and wise sit around a table.

They are awaiting for two veteran gladiators, Bavil and Meade, who had fought for the 
clan's honor in the brutal arena of Shadowspire. Bavil, a warrior of 45 fights, and 
Meade, with 26 fights to his name, were not just warriors but could soon become 
legends in their own right. Each was on the cusp of a different kind of glory.

The heavy wooden door creaked open, and Bavil entered first, his presence filling the 
room. His armor, showing the wear of the countless battles he had fought. His dark 
eyes, filled with a determination of over a years struggle could forge, met the guild 
leaders'.

Following close behind was Meade. short and broad-shouldered, he carried himself with 
a confident stride. Despite the scars that marked his skin, his expression was calm, 
even as the weight of his upcoming fight hung over him.

"Bavil, Meade," Corring began, his voice like the rumble of a distant avalanche. 
"You've served Clan Longbeard with honor. Your names are known across the city, 
whispered in the same breath as the finest warriors of Shadowspire. But we gather 
today to speak of what lies ahead."

Dunnik, ever the strategist, leaned forward. "Bavil, you're one strike away from your 
destiny. One final skill, one flawless attack, and you'll earn your invitation from 
Lady Greywand at the Isle. The title of Lord Protector will be yours."

Bavil nodded, the weight of those words evident in his eyes. "I know what's at stake. 
I've fought hard for this moment. But the arena is unforgiving. One mistakeb&"

"There will be no mistakes," Pavil interjected, his voice sharp. "You've trained for 
this. Focus on your opponent's strength's and weaknesses. Use your experience--there 
are few in the arena with your ability and cunning."

Bavil clenched his fists, his knuckles whitening. "I'll do what must be done."

Corrin turned to Meade. "And you, Meade. You've met all the requirements, fought every 
battle with the tenacity of a mountain lion. You're ready. All that remains is 
surviving this last match and securing your place among the top-ranked gladiators. 
Lady Greywand's invitation is within reach. But survivalb& survival is no easy task."

Meade's eyes, dark and intense, held a spark of determination. "I've seen death in the 
arena not long ago. I've come too far to fall now. I will survive, and I will rise to 
the top."

Dunnik, ever cautious, added, "Remember, it's not just about winning--it's about 
endurance. Stay sharp, and don't get drawn into a fight you can't win. We've seen how 
quickly the tide can turn."

Pavil nodded in agreement. "You've both fought long and hard to reach this point. 
Bavil, your skill will earn you the title of Lord Protector. Meade, your resilience 
will keep you among the elite. Shadowspire will remember the names of Bavil and 
Meade."

Corrin's gaze softened, though his tone remained firm. "Go now, both of you. Prepare 
for your matches. Remember, the Clan Longbeard's honor rests on your shoulders. Make 
us proud."

The two gladiators nodded in unison, their minds already on the battles to come. They 
left the hall with heavy steps, the anticipation of the arena looming over them like a 
storm. The guild leaders watched them go, knowing that within the next few days, the 
fate of their warriors would be decided in the blood-soaked sands of Shadowspire's 
arena.

                                      SPY REPORT

The Commission makes us go through safety training from time to time. I am not sure 
why they bother with the safety meetings. This is a dangerous game that we enjoy. What 
does it matter if I can identify bloodborne pathogens? I think the instructor just 
enjoys saying the words vomit and abrasions. She has used those terms more than any 
others. I should have brought a bingo card! Whatever! That part of the morning was a 
waste of time, but you know what wasn't a waste of time? Today's fights! Sit back and 
I'll tell you all that you need to know.

Let's start at the top and talk about the Duelmaster of The Spire. Ottobot was sitting 
high on the throne as we entered today's action. Was he going to challenge and avoid 
all those warriors in the Challenger Champions? Was he just going to let fate decide? 
According to the golems, our champion was challenged by Shaq from the NBA Legends 
team. It was a short, one-sided affair as Ottobot won the duel in 1-minute. Congrats 
to our repeat Duelmaster, Ottobot!

Ottobot was the most challenged warrior today. It is good to see so many paying 
attention in the arena. We had 41 fights today, and there were 20 challenges issued. 
Granted, some of the challenges were for the Dark Arena, but a challenge is a 
challenge!  Big Lake Solution stands tall as the most avoided team. There were avoids 
all over the place, but Dragonbane Guild avoided them the most.

There were no new teams entering the arena, but we did have a few inactive groups 
today. Boss Orc has indicated he will be inactive for a bit, so we expected his 
Mirkwood Orcs to be absent. Inebriation was the other no-show guild for today's 
fights. It has been nice the past few turns to welcome returning managers, who are 
knocking the dust off of their guild houses. It is also great that we have welcomed a 
few new teams from Noblish Island and other parts. Welcome to all! We hope you stick 
around!

Most of the deaths happened in the Dark Arena, but dead is dead! it really does not 
matter where it happened. There were 5 deaths today, but the only non-Dark Arena death 
I see is the demise of Herman Melville. It was a tragic event because Herman was doing 
so well in the arena. It is also tragic because it was a random match-up. Condolences 
to Sherman on his loss. Since we are talking about death, there were also 4 bloodfeuds 
this turn. The avengers were mostly successful with a 75% win percentage. The only 
loss came in Abbot's feud against Jerry West.

A shout out to Visionist and his crew as they will be sending 2 warriors to the Isle 
after the next turn.  Meade and Bavil are now Lord Protectors from the glorious 
Shadowspire arena! I think this is the goal for the no-tourney arena. There is no 
tournament glory at this level,w though you can certainly pursue it in ADM. So, the 
Duelmaster title and gain immortality sit at the ;pinnacle of this arena and a few 
others. Go forth and conquer, warriors! For the rest of you bums that cannot conquer 
anything, I'll see you in the stands in two weeks! Later!
