It was awful. He couldn't stand the stress. The Random Maniac stalked down
alley after dark alley, kicking trash cans, throwing bottles to shatter against brick
walls, growling at stray cats. How could anyone expect these things of him? Joy.
Honor. Good intentions. What did he know about those things? Okay, maybe he had
known once, in that other life he couldn't remember, mostly couldn't remember-- His
mind shied away from the cloudy darkness and the tantilizing hints. That was the
past, that was when he'd been... someone else. Now, he was a Maniac, no more and no
less.
A familiar broken archway loomed in the moonlight and shadows. Calm returned.
He had a job to do here. He looked around and spotted the axe, waiting as it was
always waiting, hefted it, swung it and whirled it over his head and then out to one
side.
The axe felt good in his hand. It always did. With an axe, he knew where he
was.
He began to look for targets.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I must say how shocking it is to see so many bad kids and how harshly Mordant
allows them to be treated. I know this is the Delarquan federation and Mordant is
the first official fighting arena, but is this type of treatment really allowed?
They are kids!!!
Joy couldn't beat Tsien-Shu so I get the throne by default. Hopefully I will
fight China Bull for a more honorable way to gain the throne this turn. China Bull
is graceful and even though I am 3-0 against him, I have no assurance that I can
repeat it again. My teammates have agreed to let the commission decide match ups, so
the hope is that they will do the right thing and make the title fight not include a
slave.
-- Honor
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
MORDANT. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for VERMOUTH, who flew up 23 points in the rankings after
mashing CKYNST OAF like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a
basher in the top ten was HONESTY, who dropped 18 points after a disappointing (to
say the least) bout with RANDOM MANIAC. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught
but bloody knuckles was HOMICIDAL MANIACS' CHINA BULL, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by HONOR. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day
keeps T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MORDANT arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad HOMICIDAL MANIACS? Big bad HOMICIDAL
MANIACS. Big bad HOMICIDAL MANIACS. MORDANT's afraid of the big bad HOMICIDAL
MANIACS. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause MIGHTY MORALS II beats feet every time HOMICIDAL MANIACS smiles at
them. Try farming, eh?
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Remember: alliances are great,
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the MORDANT giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya
bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Random Maniac -- Always a pleasure to give you another loss. Your apologetic
posturing does not fool us. Your true nature has been revealed time and again and we
find your presence revolting. -- Honesty and the Mighty Morals
Honor -- I think the Ckynst Oaf wants to say that was a good fight, and if he
doesn't, well, that's the phrase I'm putting in his mouth. -- China Bull, default
responder
Honesty -- I can honestly tell you that I'm a violent loony. No deception. -- Random
Maniac, feeling depressed
What is it with this Lieutenant Worel that he has to get in my face? Did I ask for
this? No! -- China Bull
What the heck, beating up on Lieutenant Worel seems to be the thing to do today. So
I doed it. -- Little Bear
Ha! Fat chance a golem has to get me in the middle of a flood! Sparks and fizzes
all over, and no action from the golem. -- Flood Surfer
Assur -- Stranger things have happened. -- Jorja
