TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Handy Dandy came into the guildhouse to find Masked Melon standing in the middle
of the common room and staring around at the walls. While some kind of nervous
behavior was to be expected since the Melon was a whole-hearted paranoid, this was
the first time he'd seemed worried about the walls. They were just... walls. Some
brick, some stone, more rough plaster, a few wooden panels. They could use cleaning,
but he'd be damned if HE would do it. Let the others clean if they wanted to.
He started around the edge of the room, moving quietly so as not to attract the
Melon's attention.
Didn't work. Melon turned and stared at him, eyes big and even more crazed than
usual. In a voice that was so calm it sounded more insane than a crazy cackle, he
said, "The wall growled at me."
Not what Handy expected to hear, even from the Melon. "Ah... did it say
anything?"
"No. It just growled. You know how it is with walls, they don't communicate
much." He stared around again, then darted nervous glances over his shoulders. "But
I think it's out to GET me. I don't dare turn my back on it."
"Ah... that could be difficult? The walls are all the way around the room."
Handy brightened. "You could go out and sleep in a field."
"No, it isn't ALL the walls, just that one bit to the left of the fireplace.
Where the bricks are. So far just that."
"Ah!" A fragment of team lore passed down from one gladiator to another, and
doubtless distorted mightily in the process, blinked in his memory. "Ah, that...
might be the Brick Wall!"
"That's what I said. That bit of wall where the bricks are."
"No, once there was a Homicidal Maniac known as the Brick Wall. Some kind of
golem that actually WAS a piece of brick wall. Years ago, that would have been."
"Well, I hope somebody knocked holes in it! I hate golems!"
"I was told it graduated. And had weird but definite ideas about right and
wrong. Maybe you SHOULD go out and sleep in a field."
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to MORDANT once again! What's with TYPHOID MARY? She actually
beat RUN DMC's JACK B. NIMBLE, and walked away with 22 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at DEATH'S DOOR while they watched TYPHOID MARY clobber JACK B.
NIMBLE. He lost 14 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try
as he might, BUSTER MARNE wasn't good enough at persuading ROCK RHYMES to step down
from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to
practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was WRATHMEN. Management must be dealin', as the boys at UPSTARTS ain't reelin'!
WRATHMEN's mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior,
JMJ! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. KEITH RICHARDS didn't
quite know what to make of a challenge he received from UG LEE of UPSTARTS, who is 24
points below him. UG LEE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was defeated by
KEITH RICHARDS and ended up with 58 recognition points.
Warriors of MORDANT unite. You have only your games to lose! Hmm... More
surprises must remain in store for me, if MY ADIDAS can return from the Dark Arena.
Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. All work
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Six dead in the Dark Arena duels. You know what THAT means!
Leopard Spots -- Nope. It says here, right in the script, that you are a spot, or
several spots on the honor of Mordant. You need to be rubbed out. -- Masked Melon
P.S. I didn't know Mordant had honor.
Our congratulations to Rock Rhymes, which for some reason we're having trouble
spelling tonight. Must be the snow. -- Jorja et al
Three-two, I think. Or maybe two-three. They look a lot the same, you know? But
Buster lost, that silly bugger. Ha. -- Handy Dandy
