SPY REPORT
Greetings to everyone in The Spire this day! It is your ever-dependable and slightly
buzzed Huard DePriest reporting to you this fine day. The steel was sharp, the crowd
was loud, and the ale was . . . well, let's just say I've had better. Let's get into
the action.
The top bill was short and decisive. Savage swats Dakata to the side and takes over the
throne from the departing Nikolai Gogol. Savage is now the Duelmaster and the Chartered
Recognition Leader, and with that kind of momentum, he must love his prospects for the
coming turn.
Let's review a few highlights and lowlifes from today's action. Zi Shadowsplice stayed
perfect at 7-0 with another strong win, proving the Guild's recruit is no fluke.
Carmina Burana put in the most impressive performance, storming past Boscoe and
climbing 24 points in the ranks. Mickey Splitz made headlines with a controversial down
challenge against Devoeaux ? but a win's a win, and Splitz claimed it. Dilly Dilly also
punched down, dropping Jane Austen. Not much honor, but enough from cheers for the ale
drinkers.
Of Wolf and Man was our most avoided team. They didn't have the best outing at 2-3, but
they still had everyone running scared. Dragonbane Guild gave them the widest berth.
You would think dragon hunters would know how to deal with wolves. Egwene from
Childhood Heroes takes the prize for most challenged warrior. She found herself the
popular target for yet another turn.
All arena deaths came courtesy of the Dark Arena. Carter and Lexi from High Order
joined Arduin's DA1 to die on the torch-lighted sands. The main arena sands ran thick
with sweat and pride, but no blood this cycle.
So, there you have it! Savage rules the roost, and Zi remains perfect! Shadowspire
continues to prove it is the best no-tourney arena in the land! Legends can be forged
and forgotten in the same breath. Until next time, you know the drill - sharp blade,
sturdy shields, and full mugs!
