TEAM SPOTLIGHT
The night was dark and moonless and the lamps along the street already burning
low when the large and heavily laden coach rolled into Jhelum.
The four horse team was reined in at the stables to one of the many presently
abandoned guildhouses near the arena. The middle-aged driver flowed smoothly to the
ground and quickly organized the four small statured figures that climbed from the
coach into moving the gear inside. He sent his assistants to rouse the fellow
commissioned to produce their sign. For himself, he reached into the coach and shook
the towering figure still sleeping into wakefulness. This unworthy, attempting to
move his equipment, nicked his finger and nearly bled out in the yard.
The older man stanched the wound and patted the giant on the head, "Don't fret,
Sputter. If the troll hits you it will all be over in seconds." The big fellow
looked relieved and entered after his tiny stablemates.
The Slaughter Priest smiled a moment and murmured with satisfaction, "They'll
wish they'd changed more rules after they deal with this bunch," before turning to
look at the freshly painted and hung sign above the guildhouse door. "Shock Troops,"
it said.

Rodeki:
"Princess? I didn't know she was a princess," Tolugat muttered. "Princess
Tirisha? This changes everything!"
"Yeah." Adabemis & Balmador nodded with satisfaction. "This gives us, you
know, whatchit. Not just a back-street cult. We've got a princess."
"She'll be picky," the priest objected. "She'll want velvet cushions to kneel
on. Good wine. All that fancy stuff we can't afford--"
"Hey, it makes a good show!" the gladiator protested. "People like a good show.
Velvet cushions, okay, maybe not, but we have to have good wine. And blood
sacrifices. Lots of them." His eyes glittered. "Lots of blood...."
Tolugat began to look uneasy. "That could attract unfavorable attention.
Rulers don't like that, they shut down cults that do a lot of sacrificing, they--"
"But Princess Tirisha's going to be the ruler," the gladiator pointed out.
"She's one of us. She's on OUR side. She LIKES a good bloody cult, I can tell." He
grinned, the glitter in his eye becoming more pronounced.
"Oh. Oh, of course," the priest said faintly. "Why didn't I think of that...."
"And we'll have lots of gladiators," Adabemis & Balmador went on. "Gladiators
like blood, too. Gladiators are INTO dark cults, after all. It'll be great!"
"Right...great. Of course," Tolugat muttered. "Lots of...," he swallowed hard,
"lots of blood."
Mordant, the royal palace:
Talissen, Queen of Mordant, threw down the spy's report and glared across the
breakfast table at her husband, King Samir of Trocar. "You see! I told you that if
we didn't deal with Sibikhas and Rodeki, there would be trouble."
Samir shrugged and cut himself another slice of ham. "If it gets out of hand,
you can crack down on things, but I like the idea of letting the contenders for
Overlord of Sibikhas fight it out among themselves. Fewer discontented challengers
left around to make trouble later."
"And I told you I thought it was a bad idea, on several counts," she snapped
back. "That kind of chaos is not good for the nation, in the first place. Second,
the winner could end up being TOO strong, and everyone knowing it. Third, it ignores
the legal solution, that Morra of Jhans, as Gryzash's wife, should be regent until
his son is old enough to take the rule--"
"She's got experience at being a regent," Samir remarked, frowning thoughtfully.
"Rather convenient, isn't it, that just when her job ends in Jhans, here comes
another one in Sibikhas...."
"Coincidences DO happen sometimes. That's why we have a name for them," the
Queen replied. "And the fourth reason is that if there is to be some new rulers
among my vassals, *I* should be the one to choose them."
"That's the best reason," Samir agreed. He shrugged again. "So choose one.
But if it isn't someone with the strength to defend the position, you'll have to
commit YOUR army to supporting him. And if your army's not at home, then you could
be vulnerable."
After a moment's thoughtful silence, Talissen said, "I need more information.
And I need some warriors to be bodyguards for whoever I do choose. Gladiators, I
think. Very useful people, gladiators."
This is a call for volunteers. A personal, or an email to Livia@reality.com will do
it.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
A veteran mercenary, is he? No wonder people speak so poorly of mercenaries! Quite
a useless man, than which there are few more useless things.
Lysistrata
P.S. Morning star and low/moderate? Ick.
SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. JHELUM needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for
PERICLES? DOGS OF WAR's proud of him after beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and getting 14
points. Talk about yer big time losers! G.A. CUSTER got smashed by VETERAN
MERCENARY, and lost 21 points! Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to
KHALHUMS DWARF, and LYSISTRATA has made the way for a new Duelmaster! G.A. CUSTER of
DOGS OF WAR takes LYSISTRATA's place. (But seriously, who could ever take the place
of LYSISTRATA? Oh, all right.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors get
nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? DOGS OF WAR was JHELUM's most avoided team. Is there
some award for that? Is there some deep dark secret why DIFFERENT HATS' been
avoiding DOGS OF WAR so much? Or is it just that they're too scared?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey, warriors get killed by other warriors, not by their manager sending
them to the Dark Arena. What's wrong with GREM's 3-1-3, THE FORCE II? Hey! Quit
laughing! Just because JOHN CONNOR had 5-7-0 was no reason for THE FORCE II to send
him to the Dark Arena! Stop it! Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Greetings! I would like to invite everyone to Jhans (DM 36) for the first annual kLk
St. Valentine's Day Massacre (kill contest). We will start the contest off with the
ceremonial burning of the Andorian flag on turn 450. (Six turns away. Roughly mid-
February.) The contest will run for 10 turns. On turn 461, 3 separate victors will
be announced. Team with the most kills, warrior with the most kills, and alliance
with the most kills. Prizes will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most
kills and to the manager of the warrior with the most kills. The prizes will
probably be team roll-ups. The number of roll-ups has yet to be determined. The
contest is sponsored by Jhans' newest, (but by the time the contest starts) largest
alliance, the kLk (pronounced "klick"). -- Polarius, mgr. of Blitzkrieg DM 36

several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this
will be published in the newsletters for those arenas.
If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
