TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Handy Dandy came bursting into the Homicidal Maniacs' guildhouse. Well, not
literally bursting, but he entered with speed and agitation. "The Feyranse has
frozen over! Solid, bank to bank, nothing but ice."
The Masked Melon didn't look up from the sock he was knitting. He was
particular about his socks and always made them himself. "No, it isn't. Not
possible. The magical radiation from the last Chaos War keeps it too warm here in
the valley for any freezing."
"But--!" Now Dandy did seem to be on the verge of bursting literally. He
swelled up and his face turned red. "But it IS--"
Over in the corner, Madcat Black glanced over his shoulder, pausing in his
obsessive ripping at a cushion. "He's right, Melon, it's frozen. I don't know about
solid--you won't catch ME testing the ice on a river! But bank to bank, yeah.
Frozen."
"Not possible," Masked Melon repeated. One did not become a Homicidal Maniac by
bowing to mere fact.
In another corner, every Maniac had his own corner, Moth Masher giggled.
"Possible, possible!" he chanted, bouncing up and down on his toes. "It's climate
change! Evil magic at work. The Grey Witch can't stop it!"
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, MORDANT? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight,
for there are sorrows to drown for UPSTARTS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4
into 6th. Ha! SWEORDMASTERS turned their 4-0-1 turn into a 2nd place rank in the
listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Now let's
all watch DEATH'S DOOR's heads swell from their 4-1-1 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big
shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see JMJ win a
fight and gain 22 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, FORK LIFT beat BELLICUS and BELLICUS
lost 11 points. You're breakin' my heart. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster
DARK CHAMPION Dark Arena Challenged this turn. And if variety is the spice of life,
MORDANT may be getting bland, as WYRTHA stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and
bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their
fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
MORDANT, I am losing what little hope I had in you. UPSTARTS the most avoided team?
What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like COLORFUL avoided them the
most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. MADAME TIGER
was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or
feared? Heh, heh. I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one, but GRYRE has
challenged up by 27 in an attempt against JACK B. NIMBLE. My sides still hurt from
laughing about JACK B. NIMBLE losing and giving GRYRE 31 points of recognition. Ha
ha ha ha!!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. SWEORDMASTERS has cause to pause today, as WYRTHA was
sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager.
Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds
of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in MORDANT to get a drink than Conan's Place!
Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too.
Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
LEAST popular?!? Screw you guys... I like me some me! -- Paint It Black
Brain Freeze -- This is all your fault! -- PIB
Bellicus -- Backup weapons. Consider carrying one. -- Love Pink
Five dead, is this responsible for the ice on the river?
We congratulate Wyrtha, who is getting out of this increasingly dangerous locale.
The city may perish at any moment! -- Jorja and the Homicidal Maniacs
One-four, and *I*, ME, Moth Masher, I got the win. Ha! That'll show my teammates.
And it was a real fight, too, not a standby. -- Moth Masher
P.S. And Buster won. I'd rather HE was my teammate than some of these guys.
Uda Lou Zar -- How true. -- Buster Marne, master of ambiguity
Remy -- You snuck up on me, you hairy little rat! -- Madame Tiger
P.S. And now I have a terrible taste in my mouth. I am deeply suspicious.
Barry Cade -- How about my form, huh? The way I just LEAPED right OVER you. Perfect
form. Perfect. -- Moth Masher
Tuberculosis -- Does this mean I'll have to go out west and breathe desert air? I
have desert air. It's so DRY. -- Masked Melon
Eustacius -- I didn't think you'd be so big. I mean, you're something to do with,
um, my throat? Or my ears. One or the other. Except you won't FIT. So go away. --
Madcat Black
Ug Lee -- Well named, aren't you? -- Handy Dandy
Any gladiator, or managers either, who wants to be written about, just say the word.
It could be a relative piece of fluff going nowhere in particular, or a serious
adventure, your choice. Either a personal, or a direct communication will probably
see you featured in next turn's newsletter. -- Jorja
