SPY REPORT
I've stood watch in places where the ground shook long before the fighting started. In
those days, the veterans learned to read the signs: the way men checked their gear
twice, the way the crowd noise dropped before a sword clash. Jhans felt like that this
turn. Not chaotic. Not careless. Focused. The kind of tension that tells you someone
is about to be tested, and not everyone will walk away the same. Turn 1013 delivered,
so let's take a look at it.
Mark 1 became Duelmaster with the exit of Mike Vadner. Faith in Causation dared the
climb to the top and paid for it, overpowered in a brief title brawl. Jhans now
belongs to Mark 1, and he will get the chance to prove his mettle in a few weeks.
Former Duelmaster and new Lord Protector Mike Vadner delivered a final turn in Jhans
that will be remembered for many moons to come. He bloodfeuded with Skaith, and the
match ended in death. A swift and merciless act of revenge on the sands. Jhans has
seen many vendettas, but this one closed with a finality.
In other fighting news, Stingray continued his perfect run, viciously beating Tenebrax
and reinforcing why he leads the Uncharted Recognition among the new teams. Umbralis
fared better than his teammate and struck hard for The Whispers. He beat Spinnock,
giving a major recognition swing that echoed through the team standings. Fame showed
more patience than Bob Semple in a grueling thirteen-minute contest that tested
resolve and lung capacity.
The Dark Arena drank deep with three souls off to the afterlife after facing Bandit
Prince, High Elf, and Ripples Dorrigan. Now redemption awaits by torchlight. Those
three join with Skaith and the relatively new Silk on our death list. May the new
recruits be better fits for Jhans.
Wolf and Man gained ground and now sit atop the current team rankings. Their success
has made them the most avoided team on the sands. Emu's Strain avoided Wolf and Man at
every opportunity. The Whispers surged upward, buoyed by strong individual
performances and timely victories. Clan Battleaxe felt both triumph and loss,
celebrating victories but mourning the loss of their warrior, Skaith. The now
deceased Skaith was the most challenged warrior of the turn.
Jhans continues to reward courage and punish recklessness. Champions held their
ground, grudges were settled, and the Dark Arena claimed its due. Turn 1013 will be
remembered less for words and more for outcomes, stained red on the sands. Farewell
until we return in two weeks.
