TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Kas had never regretted any decision he's ever made, until now. He had
misjudged the skills of Vengeance and Viscera and knew they had fallen again, where
they started. This time, there would be no errors. The next warriors had to come
from another place of power in Ghea. First, he traveled to the Twisted Lands,
Southwest of Alastari. After several trial, he arrived, and began the ritual to
animate dead flesh.
Upon finishing the ritual, he grew disappointed when nothing happened. Perhaps
the Distraction Magic in the area prevented the ritual from working. Then, as Kas
prepared to leave, a great explosion in the area sent him reeling. After regaining
his senses, he looked and saw two giant zombies standing where the items were buried.
Gemini twins, born of fire and alive only by the Destruction Magic of the area known
as the Twisted Lands.
Kas' laughter echoed throughout the area as he said, "These will be suitable
replacements for those I have lost."

SPY REPORT
Much has changed in MORDANT since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Hmmmph! I always thought
THE MINISTRY was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0! Ya gotta be
quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain!
MANNEQUIN'S BEST is now ranked 3rd with a 2-3-1 turn. What's with SMIRCH? He
actually beat MORDANT's LIEUTENANT WOREL, and walked away with 15 more points from
the fight. Laughs were big at SEA DOGS while they watched JETSAM clobber VAN
DERMINT. He lost 8 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.
MORDANT has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. It Dark Arena Challenged
DARK ARENA's STONE GOLEM (0-0-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting. The crowds
were amazed this turn, as STONE GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, CHEESE WHIZ, leaving LAB
EXPERIMENTS in mourning. So now BALLAST gets to be MORDANT's Duelmaster. But what
comes around goes around. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?
I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
MORDANT thinks BABYFOOD FLAVORS and their 20-28-0 is too much! If at first you don't
succeed, give up... The bums at LAB EXPERIMENTS couldn't face the challenges from
BABYFOOD FLAVORS! No excuse for that! What do people see in JETSAM? His 5-3-1?
SEA DOGS ain't talkin', but he's got 54 points. Maybe SWEORDMASTERS' FEYEVER is one
of those gals who likes pain, or something. That's what she'll get next week, after
challenging up 29 to BALLAST. FEYEVER did pretty good last week in beating BALLAST
to get 19 points. Why did BALLAST lose, you ask? Simple: he wasn't good enough.
Warriors of MORDANT unite. You have only your games to lose! Hmm... More
surprises must remain in store for me, if PUTT PUTT can return from the Dark Arena.
Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
MORDANT is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.

ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
