SPY REPORT
Listen close, Aradi. Closer. No, closer than that. Good. Now do not look up while I'm
talking. There are whispers this turn. Not the normal whispers about poisoned ale or
rigged weapons. Bigger whispers. Softer whispers. The kind that jingles. Folks claim
there is a magical being roaming Aradi by night, slipping unseen from house to house,
leaving gifts behind like trophies after a duel. No footprints. No witnesses. Just
smiles in the morning and an uncomfortable number of people saying, "I believe."
Believe in what, you ask? Exactly! That how it gets you.
Now, while everyone was distracted hanging socks over fireplaces, the arena kept
grinding bones into sand. Solomoon of Thirsty Thugs climbed into the throne this turn
after Calm Anemone failed to show up and defend it. Miss the alarm, and you lose your
crown. That's not magic, that's math. Solomoon smashed Badger and took the
Duelmaster's title. Some swear Solomoon looked surprised, waking up Duelmaster, like
something had been left under his pillow.
Tinfoil Mafia remains the top team, which raises questions. Serious ones. They also
led the avoiding this turn, with The Bunkhouse being the most avoided team.
Coincidence? Or were certain warriors "checking their lists" and deciding who was
naughty and who was nice? Tinfoil Mafia avoiding fights while rumors swirl about
unseen observers? I'm just asking questions. Loudly. With charts, illustrations, and
string. Lots and lots of string.
Rain Mistress took the honor of most challenged, which means everyone wanted a crack
at her. Padasha got the chance ot face her, and continues cutting a clean path through
the opposition. Padasha is the Unchartered Recognition Leader with five wins and no
losses. In the popularity department, Coldy reigns overall, but Just a Ch is making a
claim for the hearts of the people.
There was no unexpected blood today. DA1 went to the Dark Arena, and the outcome
looked to be a foregone conclusion. Just like it was scripted. I hope you are slowly
beginning to see there are no coincidences in this arena. Puppets and strings. Strings
and puppets. Everywhere.
So, that is the state of Aradi. A new Duelmaster, sharp challengers, cowardly avoids,
and a city full of grown warriors nervously believing in something they swear they've
never seen. Me? I don't believe in magical gift-givers. I find it strange that someone
ate my cookies and polished my boots this morning.
