TEAM SPOTLIGHT
SPY REPORT
Pull up a barstool and try not to bleed on the floor (sawdust can only do so much).
Shadowspire wrapped up another turn, and like a cheap tavern brawl, it was messy and
featured at least one decision nobody could properly explain afterward. Let's start at
the top, like we always do, and work our way down the spire.
Ah, the top! Where the view is nice, and the air smells faintly of ego. Gworm now
wears the crown after flattening Misti Skye like a tavern bill you meant to pay but
didn't. It was a quick, efficient challenge from Gworm that felt more like a public
service announcement than a duel. Meanwhile, our former champ punched his ticket and
heads for a more "magically enhanced" training regime. Shadowspire loses another
fighter to the service of the Graywand.
Ale House Mercs climbed to the top of the pile this turn, and not quietly either. Ten
wins in three turns and a recognition haul that suggests they have found their rhythm
on the sands or sold their souls in some seedy Underworld deal. Could be both. Big
Lake Solution also made gains and entered the top five. I assume they solved
something, possibly jabbing with the pointy end. Going the opposite direction, Toilet
Paper dropped like a wet roll in a storm. Eight wins sound fine until you realize they
dropped seven spots in the rankings.
Feared? Respected? Easy win? We never know how to judge the most challenged warrior.
Congratulations to PXR5 for confusing everyone. With that record, I'm betting on
option three! Cult of Bacchus was being dodged like a bad glass of wine. Darque Ages
apparently had better things to do than fight. Were they brooding? A perfect pairing!
One group no one wants to fight, and another that doesn't want to fight anyone. If
only they would meet in the middle, we'd all be happier.
Brooss remains the Popularity Leader, but it was Taizu who was the talk of the town
for his match against Charmin. Mis Stacia leads the unchartered pack, quietly stacking
wins while the rest of her teams tries to figure out which way is north. The Leper
King has found a cure for Basic and will be heading off to the Isle after fighting
next turn. I've seen what is under the mask, and let's just say it is more than a
fashion choice.
Shadowspire felt like a tavern full of veterans and amateurs. The veterans drank, the
amateurs talked, and then the veterans reminded them why talking is dangerous. Some of
you are climbing the ranks. Some of you are circling the drain, and a few of you have
already gone down it.
As for me? You know that I will be at the bar. Stop by and buy me a drink. I will be
here all night, watching, judging, and pretending I can still take half of you out in
a brawl. I can't, but don't ruin the illusion. The Spire knows the drill: sharpen,
shine, and sip!
Until next time,
Huard DePriest
