SPY REPORT
I spent this turn so close to the action that the grit from the first clash of the day
is still clinging to my eyelashes. Jhans was busy today, like a wind blowing through
the sands. Watching every step, every stride to the arena, and listening for trouble,
I heard plenty, but I may only report a portion of it to you.
I start at the end, as I usually do with our title bout. It is the biggest fight on
the board, but it is also held last to increase the drama. Kuurus of Dark Abundance
advanced on Spinnock like someone who had measured the distance and counted the cost.
Stalking like a predator, Kuurus knew every angle and knew precisely where the other
fighter's balance would break. Spinnock never found his footing against Kuurus, so the
obvious result followed: We got a new Duelmaster. Congrats to Kuurus, who reigns, for
now.
Across the rest of the arena, the announcer's board told many stories. I counted the
avoidance pattern of many teams. Like tracks in soft soil, the patterns are there if
you are looking for them. The Whispers were clearly the team the others were avoiding.
When a whole pit of gladiators sidestep the same team, it is worth noting. Clan
Battleaxe gave the quiet gladiators the widest berth. The good news of the turn? Jhans
is filled with ambitious gladiators. Spinnock, our former Duelmaster, drew more
interest on the sands than any other gladiator. This is good! Battles are not won by
the hesitant, but by warriors with initiative and a desire to fight!
The Dark Arena drank deep with four offerings to the torchlight. There were no gentle
endings, and each fall was marked with the harsh final shiver and draw of breath on
Jhans' sands. The regular sands saw no major fatalities. This does not mean there was
a lack of blood. Near misses and skilled healers made sure a few warriors will see the
next arena cycle.
In other fights, Envy dismantled Dreamsinger with clinical precision, while Sydee
fought with an intense ferocity against a challenge from Tammy Webster. Tenebrax
pushed through 9 agonizing minutes before losing to Fame.
Jhans remains loud, restless, and proud. On the sands, near the fighters and their
struggles, you can sense the quieter truths. Whose breathing changes first, whose
blade is swinging looser, and whose courage begins to drain. Every turn leaves an
echo. Will you be back in two weeks to hear the answers to those echoes? I'll be
close to the action when it does.
Your Reporter on the Sands,
