SPY REPORT
Ah, my dear bloodthirsty patrons of The Spire, it's that time again! Grab your ale,
clutch your coin purse, and prepare for another edition of the Shadowspire Yellow
Press. Today, we are presenting Huard's Tipsy Takes in the arena we love!
Our newly crowned Duelmaster is Tenn Penn from the Wicked Martyrs guild. He
unceremoniously thrashed Publio Scipio to ascend to The Spire's coveted throne. It
turns out that Scipio's strategy of conquest did not hold up so well against a sharp
sword to the ribs. Who knew? This makes Tenn Penn our newest champ, but the throne is
anything but stable. Six separate challengers stepped up this cycle, showing nearly
everyone wants a piece of The Spire's top dog.
Meanwhile, our departing Duelmaster, Dorne, survived a bloodfeud match against
Refrigerator Perry. It was Dorne's final fight in our lovely arena, and he now makes
his way to the Isle of the Eye! What more could a warrior desire than to join the
ranks of the immortals and leave your home with another victory notched on your
scabbard?
Big Lake Solution was the biggest pariah in the arena this week. Whatever they do in
the gladiator pens has their fellow fighters trying to avoid them. Darque Ages got
tons of practice with the "nope" faces dodging Big Lake Solution like a noble avoiding
taxes. Were they sidestepping a grudge? Avoiding a down challenge? It is hard to say.
Sticking with Big Lake Solution, they also had the most challenged warrior for today's
games. Kayd the Boq had a massive target on his back, even larger than our
Duelmaster's! What happens when you poke the bear? Well, sometimes the bear pokes back
. . . and sometimes, the bear gets trampled. Kirin Ichiban took down Kayd the Boq in
swift fashion.
There are some other juicy tidbits worth sharing today! Old Peculiar turned our other
departing Lord Protector Shaq into a stepping stone, picking up a massive 25 points in
his victory. That's one way to build a legacy in the arena. In other news, Farhah
turned an "underdog" fight into an execution by killing Vera Elster. I'm hoping that
it is going to stir some bad blood in the ranks. Last of all, Dropsie had a short-
lived career, meeting a brutal end at the hands of Sarcasm. Death by wit? Now that is
poetic!
With new rivalries forming and old wounds festering, the next turn promises to be even
bloodier! Who will fall? Who will prevail? You have to come back and see, ya bums!
Time for me to order another round and sign off. I checked out an hour ago, but now I
can stop writing! Until the next time . . .

Wastel, noun, bread, or cake made from the finest flour. His name was an intentional
irony because he was a Parry-Strike. They do not have quality. 10-12-9-17-15-10-11
N/N. He did as expected, a strong start that begins to taper off around the Adepts
level. He was mode, a below-average learner, and followed the typical Piker learning
curve of Parry and Decise at the expense of everything else. -- Darque
Tenn Penn -- I even prepped for your jump, but I could not seal the deal. -- Fopdoodle
Durn -- Why I decided to use my fist instead of the sword primarily is a mystery. --
