     The Homicidal Maniacs's guildhouse was old.  Not the oldest in Mordant, maybe,
but old.  It had been a guildhouse for a long time, and the building had been old
when the Maniacs moved into it.  Which meant that it was in an old part of town, near
the river.  Low, damp, muddy, down-at-heel, inclined to be misty at the best of
times.  Today the fog lay in the streets like a heavy blanket, dirty and stinking of
mud and fish.
     "Not a good time to expect wanna-be gladiators to wander in the door," Beerin
Bottleman said.  You won't get anything but the scum at the bottom of the barrel on a
day like this."
     "What, nobody but the homicidal maniacs and general idiots?" Nick asked.  The
manager leaned back in his chair.  "That's all we EVER get, isn't it?"
     "Hey!"  Beerin bristled.  "In my former life, let me tell you, I was a sane and
sober--"
     "Sober?"
     "Not a maniac, and not an idiot.  Well, except to think that joining a
gladiatorial team was a good idea.  I don't know why I did that," Beerin admitted.
"Probably the port.  I shouldn't have tried mixing my drinks.  But I learned from
that, straight beer from now on."
     The manager looked dubious, but just said, "Go bring me some idiots and maniacs.
Any idiots and maniacs.  I can't run a team with only two members!"
     Beerin got up from his chair by the fireplace, not without reluctance, because
it was cold and wet outside, and moved to the door.  "Why not?  Other managers do.
Or even with just one gladiator."
     "Other managers aren't concerned to maintain a certain level of conversation."
     "Ah, so they can be idiots and maniacs, but they have to be articulate ones,
hmm?"  A stony, grating sound, brief but definite, came from the other side of the
room.  "I'm NOT psychic!" Beerin said.
     "That isn't your fault," Nick admitted.  "I should have known better than to
recruit under the influence of a migraine.  Just don't bring me another wall."
     Muttering under his breath, and not so very far under it, Beerin Bottleman
stepped outside, allowing the door to swing shut behind him.
     The weather was as bad as he had feared, wind and rain, and the alley dim in the
early darkness.  "A dark and stormy night," he muttered.  Movement down at the mouth
of the alley.  Something big.  He groped for the sword at his side, wishing he had
the damned Brick Wall out here to hide behind.  It was some maniac come to apply for
a position on the team.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt MORDANT will ever be the same.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as LETHAL HERITAGE is pushed out of top team by STEEL LEGION, who came 
from 2nd with a 1-4-0 this turn.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there 
are sorrows to drown for LETHAL HERITAGE, whose 1-0-0 this turn dropped them by 6 
into 7th.  JGW'S ABSTRACT stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 9 space move 
up the rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  The 
MANNEQUIN'S BEST guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. 
You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, MADDENED BELLHOP 
fought DAEL and gained 16 points and contributed to HOMICIDAL MANIACS' 2-3-0.  JIMMY 
WONG has lost to LAN, falling 8 points, while helping make LAB EXPERIMENTS a 1-1-0 
turn.  This week's Duelmaster bout was between BRICK WALL and our Duelmaster 
HELLACIOUS, making a challenge.  Defending hers title for another turn, HELLACIOUS 
kept HOMICIDAL MANIACS' warrior, BRICK WALL, from claiming the throne.  Can someone 
confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at 
Conan's Place until they win.  Maybe?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  GUNS-N-ROSES has cause to stand 
tall, as they were MORDANT's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team 
to beat.  And guess who avoided GUNS-N-ROSES stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was SWEORDMASTERS.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that BRICK WALL 
from HOMICIDAL MANIACS was MORDANT's most challenged warrior this turn.  In a brave 
attempt, HAIKU from MANNEQUIN'S BEST challenged up 24 points to fight KANDRIS from 
the WIND STORM stable.  HAIKU perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he defeated 
KANDRIS and ended up with 88 recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  I wish to point out for VORTEX that there is but a single turn 
before MANNEQUIN'S BEST and their warrior, HAIKU, will get away with killing T.S. 
MANAGER.  Is it really true that MORDANT has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in MORDANT again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

JGW -- Bah! -- Lord Xiang

Speedwell -- Perhaps next time will be just as excellent!  With a different ending,
of course. *grin* -- Lan

Nick -- How about that blond with the big...biceps, there?  He looks like he could
deal some damage.  And that dark maned beauty?  She looks like she would rip anyone a
new orifice if they looked at her wrong.  And that bunny?  *shudders*  You wouldn't,
would you?  That would be...evil. -- Lord Xiang

Hayden -- Fair 'nuff.  Call on me when you arrive. -- Flair

Swiss Miss -- Interesting weapon combo, there.  *grin* -- Gangrel

Silicon -- What?  Couldn't dodge three straight?  Well, I didn't want to strike out.
Hope we meet again in the taverns; you owe me a drink! -- Brujah

Wil Al'Seen -- Did you notice, I tried to counterstrike at the end, but thought
better of it, since you were dropping of exhaustion anyway?  *chuckle*  That's called
conservation of energy!  I just sat back down in my lawn chair. -- Boomer

Mischievous Imp -- Ya know, it wouldn't have been so bad, had I won.  But since I
didn't, that STUNK!  I hate being laughed at by the fans.  At least we both learned
something nice! -- Lan

Haiku -- Wow!  Nice learns there, my friend.  An excellent consolation prize for your
loss. -- Kandris

Pedron Niall -- You do realize, I am much better than my record is showing, no thanks
to YOU! *grumble* -- Salamander

Hellacious -- A wrecking ball, hmm?  I didn't know they allowed those things in the
arena.  But you only chipped it a little. -- Beerin Bottleman, definitely not
channeling the Brick Wall

Crimson Cavalier -- Huh, I know what THAT means, it means you think you're sort of
"anti-sinister."  But your team name gives you away!  You ARE sinister, even if
you're right-handed.  And now that I think about it, that's got to be a TRICK, to
lead people ASTRAY as to your real nature, right?  Hah!  You didn't fool ME.  I can
see through a brick wall in time, you know. -- Rookie Manager

Mischievous Imp -- No, it's great.  Really.  If I HAVE to come back on this team,
which appears to be the case, I am SO glad that the Bore is no longer here.  I just
hope HE doesn't get "recycled," as I did! -- Beerin Bottleman

Just a reminder to all you online type people.  It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text.  HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff.  So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S.  Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray.  Not often, but
sometimes.
