TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"A broomstick?" Whip Sawyer put down the newsletter he was reading and looked
around at his teammates. "What's a broomstick got to do with anything? He can't be
sweeping clean, becuase he isn't a NEW broom up there."
"Title hog," Rusty Neals growled.
"It means he's a witch," Sofa'yam said. He sounded uncertain. "But guys aren't
witches, are they? And even if they are, do they ride broomsticks?"
Notton D'Ball blinked at them and looked at his own copy of the newsletter.
"Who's King Wencelsas? Have we seceded from the Karnhorn Empire? Won't that mean
trouble?"
"I don't know who Wenceslas is," Whip answered, "but I wouldn't MIND seceding,
you know? And with winter just setting in, we've got at least a couple of months
before a serious civil war can break out." He frowned at the far wall without seeing
it. "Unless they use magic. I s'pose they might."
In a far corner, the youngest and least-regarded member of the team looked up.
"Are you thinking of SUPPORTING a civil war?" he demanded incredulously.
"Maybe," Whip said. "What's the Satrap ever done for us?"
"It's all piffle," Rusty countered. "This whole King Whosislost and all. Just
something Flash made up, and then YOU are making up a bunch more stuff on top of it--
piffle. Just words. Not real."
"Everything STARTS with words," Whip said. "It's what people DO with them that
makes the real or nonsense. We should find this Good King Wenceslas."
On the edge of the mesa west of Willaf--
A doorway shimmered into existence, then settled into place against the stone of
the cliff. Opened.
A man stepped up to the threshold, and looked out, huddled in his fur-lined
robe. "What gods-forsaken place is this?"
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What is this? Number 8? Many, many, many. I kinda like being Mighty Many
Duelmaster Golden Flash. I do.
Maybe I will graduate soon? Maybe Goldfinch will beat me to it? I don't think
The Commission likes me. Somebody told me they weren't into flashing. Their loss!
2014 is basically over. It was the year of Golden Flash. Believe it.

SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for WILLAF. Cut this out and put it in your
scrapbooks, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS! 'Cause they got 3-1-1 and moved up to 2nd! MVP
award for NOTTON D'BALL? PUNNY AMINALS' proud of him after beating AMBITIOUS GUARD
and getting 19 points. Talk about yer big time losers! HOMEMADE DRESS got smashed
by GOLDEN TONGUE, and lost 5 points! The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause
he's Number One! WHIP SAWYER knows this. He was challenged by the Duelmaster.
Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think GOLDEN FLASH should let WHIP
SAWYER be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. I hear the top team
insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for
PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? CHUCKS' PINUPS was the most avoided team. Is a
13-25-2 record really that scary? Is there some deep dark secret why GOLDEN
GLADIATORS' been avoiding CHUCKS' PINUPS so much? Or is it just that they're too
scared? Can PUNNY AMINALS' WHIP SAWYER be more popular than me? He was challenged
the most, but is that really the same?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. What a bunch of heartless! I couldn't
believe how many people were snickering when PAPA'S BANKBOOK killed RUSTY NEALES. So
he had a 4-11-0, that's no excuse! That was so totally rude when PAPA'S BANKBOOK
wasted RUSTY NEALES. I think all you warriors in WILLAF should gang up on BLOOD ON
THE TRACKS! Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?
Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember
you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Oh, my! Golden? 4-1 and Golden Tongue slipped. A good day. -- Midas, Golden
Gladiators
Early One Morning -- I guess being a night owl did not help at all. I challenged and
I couldn't get it done. A salute to you. -- Golden Tongue
Veteran Merc -- I enjoyed every single minute of our bout. Oh, it was only one
minute? Well, good luck, and I hope you arise to fight again. -- Golden Gloves
Whip Sawyer -- You appear to be my go to guy? -- Golden Flash, Duelmaster
Old Canal -- If I'd have known you were that old and crusty, I might not have stepped
in. But like the rest of Midas's crew, I do anything for a win. -- Gold Piece
M. Chardinee -- Tweedle de dee. -- Goldfinch (Feeling quite proud, thank you.
Health. Humility. Honor. Gold. -- Midas
Two-three for us, and Bum Bull LOST to an Embezzling Scribe? That's disgusting. You
have to wonder about someone who can lose to an Embezzling Scribe. -- Whip Sawyer
Whip -- I planned that loss; it's part of a long-term strategy. Besides, you have to
respect someone with the courage to embezzle from the Userous Merchant. -- Bum Bull
Bum -- Don't tell me I have to respect this Cult Member. He's a nasty piece of
business. -- Notton D'Ball
Midas and Howlin' Wolf -- This little bit of a spotlight is an attempt to turn over a
new (old) leaf here, and your assistance would be welcome. -- Jorja
