SPY REPORT
I think our theme today will be poor judgment and misplaced confidence! Welcome back
to Shadowspire, good people, or as we lovingly call it, The Spire. My name is Huard
DePriest. I will be your guide on this whirlwind tour of carnage and questioning our
life choices. Whether it is the befuddled mass of gladiators that traded common sense
for steel or the lunatics that pay to send them here, today's lineup gives us much to
ponder concerning poor judgment and misplaced confidence. Let's look at all the
arena's actions more closely, shall we?
Canterbury entered the turn as a two-time champion and wanted to add a third
consecutive turn to his resume. He had a few Challenger Champions to choose from,
worthy opponents, but he decided to use a blood feud opportunity instead. Our
Duelmaster challenged the less experienced Jerry West. We can generously call this one
a "fight." It was less of a fight and more of a feud-raged tactic to keep the throne.
So, congratulations to Canterbury for extending his reign and doing it in the most
predictable way possible! Kudos!
Now, let's take the time to acknowledge the most avoided team this cycle, Big Lake
Solution. They were mostly avoided by the Dragonbane Guild. I'm sure there is history
between these two teams, but no one has the time to dig it up. Let them tell us about
it in the personal ads! The most challenged warrior is Shaq from NBA Legends. He was
challenged left, right, and center because everyone thought the big man would be easy
pickings. Shaq had other plans and took down Marcus Cato is decisive victory, proving
the big man can still move when called upon.
There were no deaths today, but there were two active blood feuds. We mentioned that
Canterbury went after Jerry West in one of those feuds. The other saw Clan Longbeard's
Dahnar battle Sarcasm of Wicked Martyrs. Both avengers were successful today! We do
not know if more acts of vengeance are planned for the future, but we can only hope
they end in blood, too! We did have two warriors invited to the Isle of the Eye.
Ottobot from Cult of Bacchus and our Duelmaster Canterbury will fight their last
battles in The Spire in a fortnight.
Absence makes the carnage grow fonder or some such sentimental nonsense. It is time
to say goodbye for a few weeks. We must wash the blood from the sands, restock the
ale, and sober up the healers. I hope in our time apart the warriors will use it to
consider other career options, but I doubt it. Come back and look for new deaths,
fresh feuds, and rookie warriors to replenish those we have lost to Ahringol and the
Isle. Stay sharp, ruthless, and at least ten feet from me. Good evening, Shadowspire!
Try not to miss me too much.
-- Huard DePriest

PERSONAL ADS
Dennis Rodman -- Friend, another match and we return to even at 2-2. Another match
soon? Seems like we're meeting up about every third turn. -- Refrigerator Perry
Marcus Cato -- Well met. All the best to you in your continued journey. -- SGT. YORK
Publius Scipio -- That happened faster than I would have guessed. -- Big Brother
Flavius Manicus -- I was the first to notice that we fought 3 of the Roman Republic
members this turn. I hope the training helps! -- Scarlett
Skor -- I didn't enjoy that experience at all. -- Egwene
All -- So my replacement finally reported, although too late to finalize the
documentation before next turn. But don't worry, our newest member will be here soon.
Curious to see how Big Brother and Fridge progress from here. But I get to at least
visit the Isle for a short time. I expect I will see you all soon, but until then...
Have a Boo-tiful rest of the month... -- SGT. YORK
SGT YORK -- Don't you have any other team to batter? -- Cato
SCARLETT -- Madam, breaking your opponent's weapon is a rude thing to do. -- Caudex
FOPDOODLE -- I had a bit of a slow start, and you, my good Sir, had a bit of a
meltdown. Did it ever occur to you that a fight can last more than half of a minute?
Get some exercise. -- Caudex
WASTEL -- Have a word with your blacksmith. -- Gracchus
Congrats to you, CANTERBURY. We are looking forward to reading your words. Valerius
Flamma
Mickey Splitz -- What a workout and the training! -- Dahnar the Content
Groog -- Finally I get a break! -- Rasae the Amazed
Alita -- Keep practicing. -- Amos the Valiant
Sarcasm -- Damn murderer! -- Godrey the Specter
All -- Another promising Longbeard recruit is cut down far too young. Godrey was a 12-
9-8-17-17-6-15 Lunger. Rest in Peace brother. -- Visionist
