TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Aftermath
This room is a large, cavernous rectangle; it makes up most of the inside of the
structure. Two smallish rooms, separated by the long expanse of the main room, are
built against the slotted boards of the double walls on each end. These inner rooms
hide the "sewer seats" that cap an underground midden pit. These walls are crooked
and slanted towards the wooden walls of the main structure. They are made of
leftover masonry and rock and generous dollops of local cement. (The cement is a
gray-greenish color that reflects the light from the central fire pit. It's quite
abrasive to the touch--a mysterious mixture utilizing primarily limestone and sheep
dung, among other things.)
Untidy piles of spears, wrapped in tangled loops of twine, lean against the
rough uneven surface of the midden pit's wall. Furry clumps of animal skins, still
as death, are scattered throughout the tiled room. Some are larger than others.
Some make soft, muted breathing sounds.
A broad, ancient, heavily-scarred table stands patiently nearby. Four central
pillars hold up its mammoth hexagonal surface. Several irregular mounds of various
types and styles of scabbarded blades cover most of the tabletop. An odd scrap of
parchment is tossed here and there. A long, pointed cap of felt, decorated with
bright purple and green sequins, lies canted at the very edge of the table. The fire
pit at the center of the room, surrounded by a low, wide, circular wall, flickers
irregularly. Thin throbs of light reflect off of the sequins to tickle and captivate
the eye. Glints from various goblets and bladed weapons, strewn and sprinkled
amongst the furry clumps, attempt to imitate the sequins' laughter.
A sudden, high-pitched keening grows and quickly fills the room. The fire
wavers and shudders briefly as a brilliant spear of magenta springs suddenly into the
warm, smoke-tinged air. A chorus of groans echo the bright light's appearance.
Lumpy piles of furs quiver and jerk spasmodically throughout the room. A few clawed
hands scrabble impotently against the rough floor tiles. A handful of stuttering
whimpers, mixed with a couple of hoarse shrieks of agony, reverberate among the dusty
rafters as the magenta light fades away.
The slim, imperious figure of a woolen-cloaked youth is revealed. The narrow
face is split by a wide smile. The glowing blue eyes sweep meticulously through the
room, only pausing briefly to consider some of the quivering piles of furs.
"Havoc! Havoc! You're here somewhere, yes?"
A solemn, gravel-strewn, tortuous whisper leaks out from under a nearby pile of
furs. "By the gods, Kid, please, please...." A hacking, rumbly cough shakes the
pile.
"Ho there, Havoc! There you are! How was the party?" Somewhere against one
far wall a faint sobbing can be heard. The Arcane Kid chuckles softly to himself as
he picks his way smoothly through the litter and human flotsam. When he reaches the
firepit he sweeps back his thick woolen cloak and sits on the wide rim, luxuriating
in the pulsing heat of the dying fire.
A brawny arm, ridged with muscle and lines of scar tissue, works its way out
from under a griffin's pelt. The thick golden hair, ruffled with broad dove-gray
feathers along one edge, parts suddenly as Havoc's square head, tousled and sticky
with some dark fluid, pushes out from underneath and cracks solidly against the
floor.
"Ouch!" smiles Arcane. He tilts his head and watches Havoc appraisingly as the
bulky warrior methodically--if slowly--crawls feebly from under the griffin's pelt
and sprawls lovingly against the cold tile. Havoc's bulbous nose, notes the Kid, is
a trifle wider and much redder than usual. Clotted blood lines the left edge of
Havoc's mouth and makes a dark swathe amongst the black and white bristle along his
neck. Havoc slowly raises his callused, trembling hand briefly in the Kid's
direction before allowing it to drop lifelessly with a loud meaty SMACK.
Arcane laughs a harsh booming laugh that pushes against the rafters and Havoc's
face, causing the room to shudder convulsively even as Havoc's face twists into a
fearsome grimace. Another smattering of sobs, slightly louder now, echoes thinly
after the Kid's outburst of mirth. The Kid pushes himself up suddenly and sashays
over to Havoc's prone, stain-covered, trembling body. A small flask of sky-blue
glass appears magically in his slender hand. The flask emits a muted blue
luminescence mirrored in the Kid's eyes. Arcane dexterously twists the clear stopper
free from the flask. It's loud "pop" causes Havoc's face to twitch twice
uncontrollably. The Kid gracefully lowers himself to one knee and, gently grabbing
the skin from the back of Havoc's neck, carefully lifts his head and pours a few
drops of shimmering blue liquid into Havoc's crusty mouth and then lays him back
softly against the hard floor.
Arcane re-stoppers the flask and returns to his seat and the warmth of the fire.
He looks around the room and hums absently to himself, tapping his boots together
impatiently as Havoc's breathing begins to deepen and his face acquires a more life-
like hue. After a couple of minutes Havoc begins to gradually bring his knees up and
closer to his chest. A couple of minutes more creep by while the Kid rises and goes
to the wood pile at the far end of the fire pit. He grabs a few pieces, about as
long and as wide as his leg, and lays them critically amongst the bright red embers.
He makes another trip to the wood pile and adds a few more pieces of wood to the fire
pit.
By the time the new wood catches and the flames are rising strongly, Havoc
manages to roll over onto his knees and crawl towards the pit. He reaches it and
pulls himself up and onto its edge. The Kid doesn't try to help. Instead, he brings
out the sky-blue glass flask and offers it silently to Havoc, now swaying uncertainly
next to him. It takes a couple of tries, but Havoc finally manages to grasp the
flask. He tilts it briefly against his sandpaper lips and gurgles a couple of
swallows before the Kid snatches the flask out of his trembling hand.
"Hey! Take it easy with that stuff!" Arcane warns. Havoc's face slowly swivels
toward the Kid and opens a pair of horrendously bloodshot eyes, rimmed with an amber
crust. After a few tries his lips stop flopping in an uncoordinated fashion, and a
small rough whisper grates out.
"I really hate... hate you."
The Arcane Kid merely smirks and offers a lazy shrug of his slight shoulders.
"Kid. What the hell... what are you... doin' here?"
"I just thought I'd drop by and offer my best wishes to Helias Sol. He's
retiring to some backwater village, isn't he? I didn't know when I'd get the chance
to see him again, so I decided to come now." The Kid chuckles and holds his palms
toward the flames. "Which fetid pile is he hiding under?"
"Kiss my... my..." Havoc turns suddenly, falling from his seat on the edge of
the firepit and dropping to his hands and knees. He vomits a curdled yellow stream
onto a nearby wyvern pelt; its scales change color under the onslaught.
"Well, you seemed to have had a wonderful time at his going away party," Arcane
mutters to himself as Havoc retches and grunts. "I warned you against using genetic
enhancement tech on grapes and grain without careful scientific analysis."
Havoc finally pauses long enough to throw himself on his side, his eyes tightly
squeezed shut.
"Well. I just thought I'd let you know--we just received his replacement and
the one for Splintered Sky. Not ideal prospects, unfortunately, but perhaps we
can...."
Havoc's body heaves spasmodically, his face mere inches away from his small pool
of puke. His throat makes a hollow, bubbling sound, but nothing else seems to come
up. Arcane smiles widely to himself and stands up, wrapping his cloak tightly around
his narrow frame.
"That elixir will take a few hours to take full effect, you know. By the end of
the day you'll be back to your old sullen self again. We'll talk over fighter
strategy tomorrow."
A sudden, high-pitched keening grows and quickly fills the room. The fire
wavers and shudders briefly as a brilliant spear of magenta springs suddenly into the
warm, smoke-tinged air. A chorus of groans echo the bright light s appearance.
Lumpy piles of furs quiver and jerk spasmodically throughout the room. Hands claw
and scrabble, here and there, impotently scratching against the rough floor tiles. A
handful of stuttering whimpers, mixed with a couple of hoarse shrieks of agony,
linger after the magenta light fades away.
+ ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Report from the Tourney #2 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ +
Larkin here once again, with more interviews from the tourney. This time I'm
talking to a new manager, so new he doesn't even have a manager name. "Sir... what
would you like me to call you, by the way?"
"Why do you have to call me anything? I don't understand why you want to
interview me. There are lots of great managers here who could probably tell you
stuff--"
"I'm looking for a new perspective, the point of view of someone who is just
starting out with the gladiatorial games."
"Oh. Well, I guess that would be me."
"Absolutely right! Tell me, what do you think of the tourney? This is your
first, right?"
"Right, my first," the young man agreed. "And it's GREAT! Everyone is just
great here! I mean, most of these managers, they're, like, legends, you know?
Everybody's heard of them, and they have stables of HUNDREDS of gladiators, and
they've been polishing their tricks for YEARS, and I didn't figure I had much of a
chance, you know?"
"The popular view is that no matter how much you know, the arena can always
throw a surprise at you--"
"Yeah, yeah, I've heard that. I don't know if I believe it, but I've heard it.
But that isn't the best thing about this tourney. The best thing is that everyone
here has been GREAT. Or else I didn't meet them--the ones that might not have been.
But I think I met just about everyone, and--"
"And they were great. I'm glad. But perhaps you could tell our readers a
little more, maybe tell them how these experienced managers were great to you?"
"Well, yeah, okay. It's that everyone was so friendly and helpful, see? The
ENTIRE Consortium talked to me about warrior design, for instance. I learned a lot
there. And, well, there was Mannequin, and The Greek Guy, and I actually met
Manager, too! And they were all really helpful. Advice, you know, and charts, and
all that stuff that was so confusing. It was just the best experience! I'm going to
do it again, for sure!"

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Good ol' Osksi... the land of the free, and the home of Delarquan death! I've
never seen such concentrated bloodshed in one place as I've seen in this fair
city.... but hey, who am I to talk?!
The ascension to the throne was yet another bloody example of how precarious it
can be in this fair city of ours. Our condolences go out to Games Library for their
loss. At least Generation X knows that my bloodthirsty ways are not aimed solely at
them, for they have tasted death not once but twice at my hands.
I look forward to the challenge of holding this lofty position in a place where
the competition is not only stiff, it also runs deep and wide. I see many worthy
adversaries in my midst who no doubt have their sights set on the throne at some
point in their futures... that challenge, I do welcome.
As Games Library seems to be the only active team within reach of the throne, I
place my one and only challenge to Kovaramann Voth... assuming I am not bloodfueded
by him first.
Until then, I bid you fairwell until next turn.
May your realities be true, for mine is forever abstract in nature.
Your duelmaster,
Virtual Reality
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! PASTA had cause to celebrate, after ZITI got
14 points by beating CADILLAC DUNDEE. CADILLAC DUNDEE certainly had a baffled
expression on his face, after losing to ZITI and losing 11 points in the process!
Duelmaster VIRTUAL REALITY from STATE OF MIND is going for the gold, as he challenged
GAMES LIBRARY's KOVARAMANN VOTH. Ooh, the excitement! In OSKSI, nothing is
permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, KOVARAMANN VOTH.
Word has it one team in OSKSI is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed
life!
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in
GENERATION X are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. The
warriors of GENERATION X found their efforts at combat frustrated as DREAMS OF KADATH
apparently had more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses,
STONED IMMACULATE could open up a fast food joint!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Justice was
served as KOVARAMANN VOTH fought VIRTUAL REALITY in bloodfeud. Well done, GAMES
LIBRARY! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the
arena. A certain tavern in OSKSI would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! OSKSI, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The
Elefont. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
