TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"Avatar"
By Johans Johans, Sagamaster of the Desolate Empire and Bard to Archmage Wasby the
Great, Dark Knight of the D.E.
The magic summoning circle pulsed with arcane power. Wasby the Great would work
magic of epic proportions in calling upon the pit fiend Chareos to do his bidding.
He had never before tried this spell and was excited to feel the magic flow through
him, filling him with ecstasy. He barred the door to his laboratory and looked upon
the magic circle with determination. Wasby began to chant the words of power...
He awoke lying on a warm marble floor. Feigning unconsciousness, he tried to
gather himself. The last thing he remembered was binding Chareos to his will when a
flash of red power had clobbered him. The flash seemed to take the form of curving
horns. Whatever had happened, one thing was certain. Wasby knew he was no longer in
his laboratory.
A voice boomed throughout the chamber, echoing with a force felt in his bones.
"I know you're awake so stop pretending. Rise and acknowledge me."
Wasby climbed unsteadily to his feet and surveyed his surroundings. He was in a
palace of gleaming white. He spied a window and studied the terrain. The land
looked barren and bleak, with a reddish tint that encompassed the land and sky.
After taking everything into his memory for escape, his eyes fell upon the speaker
who had commanded him. He gasped in horror.
The being in front of him resembled a minotaur, but had to be twenty feet tall!
Instead of the face of a bull, a face of exquisite beauty looked upon him. Curving
black horns three feet in length swept out from its brow. Wasby had never seen such
muscle development in any creature. The end result conveyed the presence of such
power and malevolence that he almost fell to his knees.
"Yes, recognize me for what I am," the mighty one said with a sneer. "Look upon
all that I rule with awe and fear in your mortal heart. Are you not impressed?"
Wasby now noticed that shapes were materializing around him. Devils of all
sorts appeared before his eyes and added to this were the cries of torment and
anguish that arose to fill his ears. He realized in that instant where he was--the
underworld, land of the dead! He also realized who stood before him.
"Osiris, Lord of the Underworld, I bow before your power," Wasby said while
sweeping himself flat on the marble floor.
"Yes, I thought you would, mortal," replied Osiris. "Are you ready to feel the
touch of my torment and know true pain?"...
Wasby leaned against the stone wall in his bedchamber, breathing heavily. After
what seemed an eternity of torture, he had escaped! He had broken free of his bonds
in a moment of chaos when a fallen solar had entered Osiris' throne room and tried to
lead an uprising. He had made it outside the throne room and cast his word of recall
spell. After being attended to by his aide Fredredo, he slept...
The Dark Knights sat together in their warroom. Located in the Desolate Empire
fortress outside of Fratsfa, the Knights were glad to see Wasby alive.
"It's been over four months. I thought that we'd never see you again," said
Heathen. "I had to talk Toker out of marshalling the forces of the Empire and
recalling Goat from his mission to use his magic to find you."
"I still think we should've," replied Toker.
"Well, I'm back now and o.k., so it's cool," Wasby said with a grin, "so I'll be
back to my usual tricks, not to mention--" He stopped with a choked off breath. The
other Dark Lords jumped to their feet and rushed to his side.
Toker looked to Dok Sik for help. "What's wrong with him? Is he sick or
something?"
"No," replied Dok Sik, who suffered from every malady known to man. "If he was
sick or diseased I would have recognized it right away."
Wasby looked up and spoke in an unfamiliar voice, gravelly and deep.
"Not sick, but perfected. There's nothing any of you can do. He who you know
as Wasby the Great is now an avatar among you. I am Osiris."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well now, it seems as though I will remain here atop the rankings until I earn my
invitation to the Isle--which should come this turn whether I win or not. I chose
not to participate in the Grand Tourney--I wasn't timed for it and Mannequin wants to
graduate me and bring in some new blood for the Olympiad. There are too many of us
in the upper ranks and the majority of us are NOT tourney warriors. We only chose to
send five warriors to the tourney from our three stables. We have high hopes for a
couple of them but we will have to see how they fare. Though this will be printed
after the tourney, good luck to all who chose to represent Mordant. Do us proud!!
Messiah
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly MORDANT games. Fortune did not smile upon JGW'S
DARKNESS this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 16th position in the wake
of a 0-0-0 round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!
Witness how this week AGENTS OF OSIRIS went 2-3-0 to move up 4 in the rankings. Did
only my eyes note the 3-1-1 record which MANNEQUIN'S BEST managed to post this round?
I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! A new guild, LIVE FROM
MOSCOW!, entered MORDANT with a clash this turn, showing off a 4-1-0 record. Indeed,
a worthy addition to the city guilds. JIMMY WONG caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CLODIUS AESOPUS and was awarded 19
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, LIEUTENANT WOREL put
down LAN, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has MESSIAH in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week
he's proven his combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half of the old
women in MORDANT seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In MORDANT "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! MORDANT, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is DESOLATE TEMPLE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to
find any of AGENTS OF OSIRIS last week. Busy avoiding DESOLATE TEMPLE? Loose talk
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after COMICUS. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games
this week, it seems that KILL ME PLEASE posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized NITE TRAIN. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand KILL ME PLEASE
beat NITE TRAIN. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. I can not but
mention with disdain the name of N'AZADAR who this week posted a challenge to a
warrior a full 11 points below in the rankings. I thought N'AZADAR showed great
skill and promise when he bested CHINA BULL. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Strange what qualities come forth in the face of
certain doom. HELLACIOUS has the town astir with the news of hers Dark Arena
victory! I must report the passing of CLODIUS AESOPUS, veteran of many duels.
9-11-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. Walk
proud, warriors of ROMAN EMPIRE! By striking down RACHE you have avenged the honor
of your dead. Your virtue is known to all in MORDANT. Fate is a fickle mistress.
She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.
Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in MORDANT as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till we meet
again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

(She turned me into a newt! -- Lan)
(A newt? -- Lord Xiang)
(I got bettah! -- Lan)
Dael -- Bah! I can't get no...sa-tis-fac-tion. -- TS Talon Volksie
Basket Case -- Bet you didn't think you'd see me do THAT, now did ya? -- Brujah
Stupendous Man -- Perhaps next time, my friend. -- Salamander
Redbeard -- I don't think it was luck that I won. Do you? -- Boomer
JGW -- I am sorry to hear about your loss. I hope that the RUGs were kind. -- Lord
Xiang
Seraphim -- Hope you start speaking soon. You need to get in practice for the TOGS
contest. You're outta shape for writing personals. -- Lord Xiang
Dameon Darkheart -- If all goes well, you should be here this turn, or next. Either
way, your absence has been sorely missed. -- Lord Xiang
Mannequin -- Are you EVER going to give up ruling this arena? Holy cow! *grin* --
Lord Xiang
All -- Live from Moscow declares for the Olympics! -- Huckle Cat, manager
Clodius Aesopus -- It's a strange thing about names. I hear someone say yours, and I
think, "That man's got a cold in his head." And I hope YOU catch it from him. --
Rookie Manager
P.S. You have all the luck. Damn, I TOLD Nick he should let me fight your style,
but did he listen? No, of course not! When everyone KNOWS it would have been
better, I mean, it's just the way things are! The BEST managers all SAY so.
Early Misty -- Ah, fog! I LOVE fog. It's so easy to go creeping around in a fog and
GET people when they walk past not even knowing I'm THERE. I just love it. Fog doth
make victims of you all. -- Random Maniac
Durban Poison -- I didn't know you were allowed to use poisoned weapons in the arena.
Do you suppose if I were to put lead paint on my fenders, I could get away with it?
Would it work fast enough? -- Fender Bender
Turtle Power -- Ah, a half-elf. Always a screwy bunch, the half-elves. Comes of
being stuck as neither one thing or another. Too bad. But hang in there, believe
yourself a turtle if that's what works for you, and all may yet come out well. You
never know. -- Beerin Bottleman
Kazach -- I was hoping you'd have a glass jaw. My specialty is china, of course, but
glass is also fun. -- China Bull
Xiang -- That isn't the way it works, if you want to be sure to get good personals in
the arena during the contest. Read the rules for (shudder) Togs sometime. -- Nick
P.S. But don't emulate Togs--not the spotlights. That would make Our Editor SOOO
mad!
P.P.S. I may shut down during the contest. I mostly don't do contests. So don't
count on me to be talking then.
Catiff -- You KNAVEL! -- Rookie Manager
P.S. I WOULD advance to the Big Leagues, except that Nick just won't DO anything
about my training.
Ed. -- Yes, exactly! -- Rookie Manager
Glad to have that cleared up! -- Ed.
Toker -- Thanks. I do get tired of talking to the echo. It never has anything new
to say. -- Nick
All/Lord Xiang -- Count us in for the Olympics. My team name was incorrectly spelled,
but hopefully will be changed this turn. It should be Agents of Osiris (587). --
Osiris, Dark Knight of the Desolate Empire
All -- The Agents of Osiris are here to represent the Desolate Empire to the best of
our abilities. -- Dark Knight Osiris
Dark Knight Toker -- Not a bad start, but I expect the competition to be of the
highest caliber, so let's be vigilant. -- Dark Knight Osiris
P.S. Don't you think I'm much better than that weakling Wasby?
Toker -- It's me, Wasby, I can't regain control long. You've got to help me take my
body back bef...aagh!...
Frost -- I admire and respect your courage. I must say those were some nice punches.
-- Barrenblade Connavar
Crystal -- Ouch. I'll pass on another pummeling like that again. -- Barrenblade
Beltzer
Overlord -- You handled that, liked your backups! -- Calis, Barren Blade
China Bull -- I got beat by a China Bull! Of all the things to lose to! Damn, but
this Dwarf is not HAPPY! -- Kazach, Barren Blade
Comicus -- You almost had me there! Good fight. At least I can write my name now.
-- Rellik, Barren Blade
Lord Doom (ghost of) -- Your death was not intentional; however, it wasn't avoided
either. Good luck in the afterlife. Who knows, I might be there with you soon
enough. Live by the sword, die by the sword! -- Enuram, Barren Blade of the Desolate
Temple (586)
P.S. I won't be avoiding and figured if you sent someone it would be Basket Case.
Even though I don't know his style, I'll be ready!!!
Death's Escort -- Good fight. I really enjoyed it! I wish I could have sacrificed
your soul upon the altar of the Desolate Temple like your brother, Lord Doom's, was!
-- N'azudar, Barren Blade of the Desolate Temple and member of the Desolate Empire
Alliance
Osiris -- I know you've invaded my brother Wasby's body and I will do everything I
can to return him and expel your essence back to the underworld. However, I have one
question; how is it that the ALL POWERFUL OSIRIS allows his team to be named Agents
of Isiris. Did Isis take your, em...uh...Godhood, so to speak? -- Dark Knight Toker,
mgr. Desolate Temple (586) Desolate Empire Alliance
Good luck to all in the Mailer. -- Toker
Lady Protector Hellacious -- Ah...please accept our congratulations and go to the
Isle with our best wishes. -- Allech Rabo, Her Majesty's Herald
P.S. You don't want "lands" here, trust me on this.

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy
writing! -- Ed.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.
