                                      SPY REPORT

We are still missing many former teams in Telorinthe, but the show must go on! Welcome 
back to Dark Oracle and his bad Bad Signs crew. He joins the likes of Darque and Beru 
as the faithful few on our sands. Vows have been made that others will return soon, 
but we will not be idle while we wait. I've sent a few missives to Noblish Island for 
recruitment.  There isn't much to report, but let's take a look at it.

Sacha lost the throne to the returning 0-2 Count in a 4-minute fight. The style 
advantage belonged to 0-2 Count, but it was a fight that greatly entertained the 
crowds between two style masters. Sacha might be the fan-favorite, but all the glory 
goes to 0-2 Count this day as he ascends to the throne.  Congrats to him and his 
manager, Dark Oracle. No invites to the Isle means we could see a rematch in four 
weeks between these two.

The most avoided team was Sorcerer Kings, but this isn't much of a feat when there are 
only two teams in the arena from the previous turn. Who else were the Cixelsid Heroes 
supposed to avoid? The tax commissioner? What's his team number? There is no most 
challenged warrior today. Looking at the battle report, we have a glut of Total Parry-
styled fighters. Under-represented, and by that I mean no representation, style 
includes Parry Strike, Parry Riposte, Slasher, and Striker. The first two are not 
surprising in the least, but no Strikers? Are we trying to anger the fans, and 
possibly the gods?

Okay, I told you it would be a short report. Hopefully, some of our MTA (missing the 
action) teams will return to us soon. Until then, we will keep moving along in 
Telorinthe. I will certainly be here each cycle to report the good, bad, and worse as 
the opportunities present themselves. Come back and join me next turn. Oh, bring a 
friend!
