The night here made him shiver. The moon shone brightly on the armor of the man
in the trees surrounding the Dark Arena. Having been spurned by the sorceress,
Sheila Greywand and The Knight, Kas laughed maniacally as he laid out the items he'd
brought wit him.
The magic of Alastari may have been weak, but Kas hoped he'd had enough. One
mistake and his warriors would be dust. First, he opened the vials of blood,
extracted from the bodies before disposal. Next, he laid out the personal items of
the warriors. Finally, he read from the ancient scroll written long before the
forces of Chaos invaded.
As he read, he buried the personal items and poured the blood over them, making
a pact with the forces of Evil and Chaos. Lightning flashed and it seemed as if the
ceremony had failed. Then, the earth moved, and the fallen warriors clawed their way
out. They were not resurrected, but most certainly not dead anymore. They were
Zombies under the control of Kas.
"Come," Kas ordered, "let us show everyone that Sheila isn't the only one who
can bring back the dead."

Alliance Olympics Update, Round 8
The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are over half done. Desolate Empire posted
the largest percentage increase: up 2.12%. LBA (and how can a lobotomized boy rule
the Olympics, anyway?) showed the largest drop this cycle: down 8.28%. Wind Storm
was inactive this cycle: Remember, Maintenance is our friend!
Four more turns and we will start to see alliances/independents start to qualify
for medals. Remember, if you don't meet your minimum number of fights, even the best
record will not earn you an award!
Steel Legion went 4-1-1 this round, congratulations Seraphim!! Condolences go
out to One-Armed Bandit and his Sea Dogs for going 1-4. Watch your challenges,
anddon't forget to use avoids to your advantage!
We have new Olympic records in two categories this turn!! Most Alliance Kills:
Mannequin with eleven, and counting. Most Alliance Victories: Mannequin with 71,
and counting. With six turns remaining, I expect these (and more) to continue to be
shattered.
I'm sorry Lab Experiments, but Sea Dogs continues to keep ahead of you for Best
Overall Stable. I think that OAB's lobotomy is the key to his success. Any one else
willing to try this approach?
Hmmm, a small piece of trivia for this turn: Desolate Temple (of Desolate
Empire alliance) is the only remaining Olympian that has NOT had death visit his
stable (either by DA or by Manneq, um, or at the hands of another manager).
If the Olympics were to end today, the awards would look like:
Gold: LBA . . . . . . .. .27-10-1-1...72.97%...(37/56)
Silver: Mannequin . . .. 71-45-11-11..61.21%...(116/168)
Bronze: Desolate Empire...38-27-4-2...58.46%...(65/112)
Lakerfan .... .. ... ... .16-14-1-2...53.33%...(30/56)
Iron Council. . .. .. ....38-36-1-6...51.35%...(74/112)
Otis the Drunk .. .. .....35-43-3-7...44.87%...(78/112)
Var .. .. .. .. .. .. ....15-19-1-2...44.12%...(34/56)
Amicitia Primoris .. .....52-78-2-10..40.00%...(130/224) *
SwineTiger .. .. .. .. ...14-26-2-2...35.00%...(40/56)
*correction of record. 4 teams x 56 fights is 224, not 244 as previously posted
Best Overall Stable: Sea Dogs (27-10-1-1)

Kern Domwein could not believe the sorry state of the arena. He and his
followers, fellow sons and daughters of the Kannar, had expected the Mordant arena to
be commanded by great and noble warriors. It saddened his heart when he realized
even when he conquered the Duelmaster, the glory would be less than he dreamed.
Where were the real warriors? As he scanned the registry, the realization that there
might not be any worthy opponents dawned on him.
All he saw were the names of upstart fools. One team using the Legends of the
Heroes of the Lance to gain notoriety and so called "Sword Masters" that couldn't
even spell the word. Then there were Mongrels of the sea, who took opponents lightly
and were beaten by teams that had just themselves picked up the sword. Even the most
popular warrior in the arena was little more than an IMP.
So be it. He would spill their blood regardless, and take what honor was to be
had. Kern Domwein sent his servant forth with a challenge and a message.
"Let any with courage stand and fall before us. The children of Kannar have
united and the Burning Blades have brought the fires of hell with them."
He knew his words would be taken lightly. There types of warriors he had
encountered before. They would scoff at his warning. Scoff at him even. But as
before, their pride would be their undoing. A thin smile appeared on his gaunt face.
Soon the cold steel of his spear would be twisting in their intestines, blood flowing
over his hands. From this day forth he would teach them to fear.
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in MORDANT! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Like, VOID had to be so
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by LAB EXPERIMENTS! Way to go LAB
EXPERIMENTS! The guys at MEN OF HONOR like really pulled together to get a 3-2-0
this turn, moving up by 8. What was the name of that team who got 4-1-0 this turn
for a total 262-295-19 you ask? (Sure) ROMAN EMPIRE's their name, and fighting's
their game! MVP award for SIMPLICITY? LAB EXPERIMENTS' proud of it after beating
STEEL JAWS and getting 21 points. Talk about yer major upsets! KAZACH's match with
REDBEARD cost him a loss of 15 points! The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause
he's Number One! WOEBEGONE knows this. He was challenged by the Duelmaster. Don't
you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think NITE TRAIN should let WOEBEGONE be
Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Who was the wiseguy that said
MORDANT's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Conan's Place? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of MANNEQUIN'S BEST
must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something
that I don't? I don't know what LIVE FROM MOSCOW!'s been doing. They certainly
haven't been accepting many fights from MANNEQUIN'S BEST, that's fer sher. Can ROMAN
EMPIRE's HOSIDIUS SILUS be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is
that really the same? SQUIRREL NUT is being unfair. It's challenged down 39 against
COBALT. I don't know why they let this stuff go on. (I'd better shut up) I was
sorry to see such an unfair "fight" in MORDANT. SQUIRREL NUT got 10 points after
beating COBALT, 39 points below it. Some fights are really unfair. How do you think
CINDY VIOLLETTE feels about being challenged by CORINTHOS, 24 points above her? Is
this how MEN OF HONOR advances, by having their members (CORINTHOS) fight people that
are really below them (CINDY VIOLLETTE)? See if I ever talk to LOST SOUL again!
LUNG CANCER was so low when It challenged it. Hhmph! If LOST SOUL can't beat a
warrior 20 points below itself, that it CHALLENGED, it oughtta be selling food in the
stands!
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!!
MISCHIEVOUS IMP returns from the Dark Arena, maybe a "little upset" at his
SWEORDMASTERS teammates... Like, who is this gal??? TUNGSTEN gets sent to the Dark
Arena, battles SHEWISH GIANT, and returns to tell of it!!! I bet STEEL LEGION
manager is surprised! Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!! WHIGGAMORE returns from the
Dark Arena, maybe a "little upset" at its MANNEQUIN'S BEST teammates... What a
bummer! TARAS BULBA got wasted by VERMILION! But with a 4-5-0, I guess LIVE FROM
MOSCOW! aren't too bummed. COMICUS really fought hard against SLINGBLADE. That'll
teach JGW PERISHABLE not to go and kill any of ROMAN EMPIRE's guys again, huh!
Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. MORDANT is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Weobegone -- Hey, I had to try you out. It's not nice to let someone swing first if
you're just going to dodge out of the way! -- Decado
JGW -- HOW, HOW, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!?!? I tried twice in a row and couldn't get
one through to you. If it was something special, please let me know. I haven't been
playing long and have never seen that before. -- Osiris, D.E.
All -- So, of course, by now everyone is aware of our (the D.E.) war with the V.C.
If you have also seen the all arena ads, you know challenges have been issued. What
I'm trying to find out is if there are V.C. members here? If there are, make
yourselves known to me and my brother Toker. I'm calling out any V.C. members to
come and do battle! Unless of course, you might be FRAIDY OF FIGHTIN'! -- Osiris,
D.E. (Mr. Avatar to the V.C.)
Everyone else -- Sorry, but I had to. Don't want to cause trouble, but this is the
Olympics after all. Bad blood between competitors can be a good thing. -- Osiris
M. Chardinee -- You following me? Didn't I see you in the arena last turn? -- Woe Be
Gone
Decado -- Nice challenge. Three skills is a real boon to me. I've been a slow
learner so I'm happy to have them (though I'm not happy with the loss). I'll be
seeing you soon. -- Dael
Nite Train -- I really wasn't looking forward to facing you. I wasn't avoiding you
per se but I wasn't challenging you either. Good luck in ADM. -- Mischievous Imp
I'm off to Home Guard! Here are my vital stats for those who might be interested:
12(1)-11-3-11-21-10-17, LS, Low/Very Low, learn attack skills. Wish me luck in the
Dark Arena! -- Mischievous Imp
Whew! It's about time. Any of you ever have a problem graduating a warrior with a
name that you think is cool or meaningful yet is somehow cursed? Every warrior I've
ever named Mischievous Imp in the past has died (PL, AB, etc). Now I wouldn't be
surprised if one of them returns from the Dead Tourney leaving me with two on my
hands.... -- Mannequin
Loyola -- Your fast-break was impressive! -- Soultanchor
Vermilion -- Well now, seems I showed a little knack in that fight, didn't it? --
French Tickler
Doyle Brunson -- Good bloodfeud. I'll be going all-in the next time we go head-to-
head. -- Cheese Whiz
Redbeard -- No one likes a shot to the butt. Not even a pirate.... -- Jimmy Wong
Flint Fireforge -- You know, for a dwarf you didn't show much in the way of
endurance. -- Sweet Stuff
Bely Medved -- Nice challenge. -- Prodigal Son
Typhoid Mary -- Thanks a lot! You pasted me, didn't teach me a thing, and now my
manager is sending me to the Dark Arena (Which is surely undeserved. A losing
record, poor skill learn rate and half my skills are parry skills). I hope someone
cures you real good in the near future! -- Whiggamore
Beltzer -- You went back to the well once too often. Your drinking privileges are
hereby revoked for good. -- Frozen Rope
JGW -- Love your name. Trust me, the role-playing is the funnest part of the game to
me. I love to be in character, but there is never hard feelings. Please feel free
to enjoy all p-ads, fights and spots involving me or my team. I've really enjoyed
the arena and plan to stick around. Good luck to us both! -- The Man behind both
D.K. Osiris and D.K. Wasby the Great
JGW -- Now, ahem (back in character), if you need any magic items or jobs done, stop
by the "Blackhole," the newest magic shop sponsored by the D.E. and owned by Osiris.
-- D.K. Osiris
Ghost of Johnny Moss -- I guess dead people can't tell when something is a reprint!
You did beat me, however, we were 1-1 at the time of your demise. You did start my
slide from 6-1 to 6-4, not good! (grin) -- N'Azadar
JGW -- What has been said, was said in good humor and as you stated "Strictly Role-
Playing!" We all understand tourney timing, but that doesn't mean my brother and I
won't rile you a bit in the name of fun! (grin) I know I plan on staying around, as
I think my bro Osiris does also! This arena is made fun by managers such as
yourself! Good luck and I hope we do continue to match up as it is fun to read those
fights. (evil grin) -- D.K. Toker
D.K. Osiris -- Good showing last turn! Keep up those 4-1-0 and we'll do alright! --
D.K. Toker
Gold -- Good matchup for you! I never got to get started. -- N'Azadar
Thing 4 -- Nothing personal, just business! -- Enuram, Hand of Death
Makeshift Anchor -- You are talented. Good fight! Here's to seeing you again! --
Kazach
Margarita -- Well, that blind challenge didn't go so well! You were a handful,
that's for sure! -- Rellik
Taras Bulba -- Sorry, had to see if my next fight was going to be the D.A.! Thank
the light that I bought myself at least a little time! -- Calis
11 August 2006
All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights! If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light! We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
DM 31, Attn: Timothias)! Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down
"Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of
Light
