Those who had watched the fights of these pale figures knew they had been sent to the Dark Arena and were quite dead. Shock and fear went through the crowd as Kas led his two Dwarves, one Werecat, and two Giants through Mordant. This had been the first time anyone had attempted to enter those who had died before into the arena, yet the Arenamaster of the Mordant arena seemed unimpressed. "Kas," he said, "could you not hire a team?" "I was told that to participate I had to 'RAISE A TEAM.' That is what I have done," Kas responded. "If you are trying to scare me, you have failed," the Arenamaster said. "Scare you?" Kas asked. "My Lord, I know that nothing could scare you, or the other fine warriors of this arena. I merely wish to participate in the fights to come." Kas was permitted in, and plans of conquest began. All that was required was for one of his warriors to defeat the Duelmaster; then he could begin phase two of conquering Alastari. DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Well, I can't tell you how surprised I am to be the reigning Duelmaster going into the last turn of this edition of the Mordant Olympics. I'm the fourth member of our stables to hold the DM's throne during the contest (Tercero Encanto, Squirrel Nut, Jimmy Wong). I think that isn't so much a reflection of our prowess on the sands as it was being a little top-heavy in the rankings going into the contest. That being said, I'm very proud of my stablemates' performance during the contest. Given our manager's heavy use of the Dark Arena we are lucky to be where we are today. As for me, this fight will be my last. I am a typical example of one of Mannequin's arena warriors. He tends to "recruit" and train warriors who look interesting to him (rather than only running the massively blessed). My case in point: 12-9-9-17-15-9-13, +3 ATT, EP, Low/Very High, Dodge tactic, learn Defense skills. I've been a poor learner; I've only managed to learn 41 skills (joining a long and disturbing trend of recent graduates). I want to thank you all for participating in the contest and wish those of you representing Mordant in the Grand Tournament good luck. Our stables will be represented in the Living Tourneys by Squirrel Nut (Adepts), Prodigal Son (Initiates) and Feyever (Apprentices); Honest Jiles & Hreowan in the Dead Tourneys (Dead Champs). Until Chaos rules and the Isle sinks, farewell! Dael SPY REPORT I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit the road, Debby Tonte. MORDANT needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Too bad, DESOLATE TEMPLE, but MANNEQUIN'S BEST was just too good to be stopped. Uncool, SWEORDMASTERS. I mean 2-2-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training practice! The guys at SEA DOGS like really pulled together to get a 3-2-0 this turn, moving up by 7. What was the name of that team who got 4-1-0 this turn for a total 38-29-4 you ask? (Sure) AGENTS OF OSIRIS' their name, and fighting's their game! Talk about yer major upsets! SEIUS GLABRIO's match with BELY MEDVED cost him a loss of 17 points! The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause he's Number One! ARENAMASTER KAKAR knows this. He was Dark Arena Challenged by the Duelmaster. The crowds were amazed this turn, as ARENAMASTER KAKAR killed the Duelmaster, DAEL, leaving SWEORDMASTERS in mourning. SQUIRREL NUT gets to be new Duelmaster. But doesn't this mean people might try to kill it, too? Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me! Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? LAB EXPERIMENTS was the most avoided team. Is a 345-350-39 record really that scary? I don't know what SEA DOGS' been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from LAB EXPERIMENTS, that's fer sher. Can WIND STORM's LAN be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same? See if I ever talk to SQUIRREL NUT again! BLACK PLAGUE was so low when It challenged it. Hhmph! I was sorry to see such an unfair "fight" in MORDANT. SQUIRREL NUT got 12 points after beating BLACK PLAGUE, 40 points below it. MAKESHIFT ANCHOR is being unfair. He's challenged down 21 against PROPAGANDA. I don't know why they let this stuff go on. (I'd better shut up) Is this how SEA DOGS advances, by having their members (MAKESHIFT ANCHOR) fight people that are really below them (PROPAGANDA)? For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out WOEBEGONE challenged GLUTIUS MAXIMUS. After all, haven't SWEORDMASTERS and ROMAN EMPIRE had a long standing duel in MORDANT? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but GLUTIUS MAXIMUS wants me to write about it since it lost to WOEBEGONE. Satisfied? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All MORDANT ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. Like, who is this gal??? BATTLE ANGEL gets sent to the Dark Arena, battles MOUNTAIN TROLL, and returns to tell of it!!! I bet SHE'S CRAFTY manager is surprised! SEA DOGS let DAEL of SWEORDMASTERS kill REDBEARD unpunished. That's really low. (Even if REDBEARD was kind of a jerk...) What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its been really albendranius!

Again, congrats to all! -- Dark Knight Osiris, D.E. 5 October 2006 *Turf War IV Rules* Everyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, or temporary alliances created to compete in the Turf War!

No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 10 of the Turf War 5. 7. For the purpose of scoring, I reserve the right to make all final decisions. Scoring: Win Loss Kill Die Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5 Match-Up +1 -1 +1 -5 Bloodfeud +2 -5 +5 -10 Champion x2 x2 x2 x2 Downchallenge -10 xx -10 xx Dark Arena +10 -5 xx xx Special Scoring: a.

(I'll be watching for this occurrence!) Bloodfeuds: a. Bloodfeuds count for all four (4) turns. However, the same warrior may not be used all four turns. 4 turns means 4 separate warriors.

If you claim I did, and *YOU* are wrong, I'll subtract points at the rate of x10. d. Each alliance begins with zero (0) points. e.

I have requested from RSI the following: a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena; b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters; c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to receive this award). Baphomet, Host of TW5 Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge! 20 October 2006 In accordance with those rules set forth by the Lady of the Realm, I hereby announce the formation of a small group of managers calling themselves "The Outsiders". The group consists of the following members: Doc LeGrande Apex Street Legal Carnage Ghoti Roadkill Valamond This group has only one rule. Respect the play of the managers of this alliance. We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others. We fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager brings. We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions. We have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on the regular city arenas. We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched. Our goal is simple. To create a ensemble of managers that will show their prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those that share the sands with our warriors. Our warriors are many throughout the land. We have no home arena. We have no pacts we abide by. Our fighters range from Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land. Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us. We are what we are. We fight how we fight. And we do it however we wish. We have no rules. We have no leader or ruler. Be prepared. We are. 20 October 2006 The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light: Where are you? EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52. Your pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight. EVERY Dark Knight is more than willing to back up their talk. So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52, REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up. If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DAEL was butchered by ARENAMASTER KAKAR in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
