TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Greetings, Shadowspire. Risem Oakcrest here assisting your master spy reporter Huard
DePriest with a report covering this past Year in Review.
First off, I will start with the Duelmasters. The Team with the Most Turns as
Duelmaster is LITERATE LOONS with 5, followed by CHILDHOOD HEROES and CLAN LONGBEARD
with 4. The DM with the Most Turns on top is CANTEBURY and BAVIL, who both had 3. The
DM with the Most Wins is BAVIL with 31. The DM with Most Losses is SAUL BELLOW with
24. The DM with the Most Kills is a tie between WONDER WOMAN and KARL-FRANZ, who each
had 3. During the year there were 16 different Duelmasters, here is the breakdown of
DM's by Style: WS=3, SL=3, ST=3, PR=2, PL=2, TP=1, AB=1, LU=1.
Now for the Lord Protectors. The Team with the Most Lord Protectors is LITERATE LOONS
with 4. They are followed by BIG LAKE SOLUTION, CHILDHOOD HEEROES and FAR TRAVELERS,
who each had 3 invitees. The LP with the Most Wins is BAVIL with 31. The LP with Most
Losses is ANTON CHEKHOV with 35. The LP with the Most Kills is a tie between AHNA
MISSTEP, GALPOH CHIPAXE, and WOMNDER WOMAN who each had 3. During the year there were
22 warriors invited to the Isle of the Eye, here is a breakdown of LP's by Style:
WS=4, SL=4, TP=3, PL=3, BA=2, LU=2, PR=2, AB=1, PS=1. Yes, no Striker invitee--Gayne
was the closest but he died just short of his invite. Two of the years invitees were
inducted into the city's Hall of Fame: CANTEBURY and BAVIL.
I hope you enjoyed my report and wish all of your fair city a prosperous new year.
This report was brought to you in association with the Shadowspire Yellow Press.
SPY REPORT
Welcome back to The Spire! We found ourselves bracing against a chill wind as we
watched our favorite gladiators on the sands. It is cold in here, but the arena action
brought the heat and made it bearable. Let's take a look at how badly you bums
performed today. As always, I will be your guide through all things The Spire-related.
Who am I? I am Huard DePriest, spy reporter extraordinaire, but you knew that already,
didn't you?
First off, congratulations are in order to Druv and Big Brother, who are leaving today
for the Isle. Druv was our Duelmaster and decided to go out in style by challenging
Durn Wolfsnarl. It took 6 minutes, but Druv leaves with another win. He leaves behind
an adoring fanbase, some bruised egos, and a few shattered dreams.
Karl-Franz from the Far Travelers guild clinched the title by dismantling Wyrmshadow
in a one-sided affair that had the spectators blinking and missing it. While the new
Duelmaster will certainly celebrate tonight, he already has one foot out the door as
Karl-Franz gets an invite to the Isle. Who will take the throne next? Your guess is as
good as mine. Okay, maybe not as good, but you know what I am asking you, right?
Whoever gets it, I'm betting it is going to be a circus in two weeks.
The most avoided team today was Big Lake Solution. Dodging like they owe Big Lake
Solution money is Dragonbane Guild. In other news, Wastel was this turn's most
challenged warrior. He might be enjoying the pain a bit too much as he reached for the
stars and challenged Tenn Penn. Wastel only walked away with a 2-minute lesson in
humility and and two pity points in recognition.
Our biggest upchallenge today came when Fopdoodle got delusions of grandeur and
challenged up 28 points to fight Kirin Ichiban. Perhaps it was the cold, but Fopdoodle
surprisingly overcame Kirin and jumped into the Challenger Champions. On the
flipside, there were no downchallenges today unless you count Bloodfeuds, which I do
not. No downchallenges?! Is management napping at some of these guildhouses?
As always, it was a blood-soaked ballet of chaos and comedy. Well, a comedy of errors
for many of the warriors, but funny nonetheless. Until next turn, follow some sage
advice that the other spy reporters would give you. You know me better than to expect
some wise, ancient adage. It is too cold for such nonsense. Okay, maybe just this
once. "Stay warm and drunk because nothing fights the chill like a good coat . . . of
whiskey!"
