SPY REPORT
Well met, you blood-soaked degenerates of The Spire! Huard DePriest here again with a
quill in one hand and an ale in the other, scribbling notes between tavern arguments
and bad bets. Let's see what was bad and what was slightly worse this turn in our
wonderful patch of sand and pain.
The title fight was a quick one. Carmina Burana challenged Groog from Cult of Bacchus
and smashed him in a one-minute match. They had fought previously, and perhaps that is
why Carmina tried so hard for a second bout. That makes two cycles in a row that she
has held the throne. Word around the taproom is that she hums her own battle tune
while swinging. It is a bit unnerving to think about, truly.
Teng Swarm continues to buzz circles around the competition, flattening Khalums Dwarf
to sit atop the recognition leaderboards. Dakata keeps the popularity crown, possibly
because he buys a round for the house after every fight. Cult of Bacchus never seems
to be short of coin at the taverns. Meanwhile, Big Lake Solution claims the top team
honors, proving loudmouths and bold challenges can get results. A 12-3-0 showing will
take you places!
NBA Legends had a great turn and shot up six places in the ranks after a 4-1-0. Looks
like John Stockton dished out a few assists of the painful kind, hammering The Leper
King. High Order also posted a nice 4-1-1, drawing whispers in the arena corridors.
Shelena and new blood Bella both impressed on the sands. On the flip side, Dragonbane
Guild stumbled with a 1-4-0. The dragons must be on strike again.
Death loves company, and we have quite a grim roll call this turn. Raise a glass or
pour one out for the fallen. Egwene, brutally dispatched by Kapow, lost in what can
only be described as a fatal slapstick moment. Smithwick was slain by Pterodactyl. It
makes me wonder if the real lesson is to avoid fighting any team named after hygiene
products. Last of all, Sarah Jane flattened Thunderfist of Cult of Bacchus.
Rosae vs. Ptyalism might be the most talked-about fight of the day. It was eight
minutes of pure stubbornness. The crowd went from cheering to napping, then back to
cheering when someone finally dropped and the fight ended. The best name on the sands
goes to Screaming Itchy. No one knows why he is screaming, but it's making the healers
nervous. We had a good mix of styles this cycle. Total Parries split even, but it was
the Aimed Blows that ruled the roost with a 6-2 record. The Wastes were grinning
behind their shields after a 4-1 effort. Strikers, however, faceplanted at 2-6. Try
aiming next turn.
It is time to wrap this one up. Come back and see me in two weeks. Polish your steel,
patch your egos, and get to training! The sands never stay quiet for long, and I
guarantee you opponents are plotting their next moves. If you are drinking at the
tavern tonight, save me a stool and a pitcher!
Until next time,
-- Huard DePriest
