Not a newsletter, anyway. "I just heard! Everybody in the Infirmary is talking about it and laying in supplies--" "Sounds like trouble," Kona Kate answered. "If the Infirmary expects to get a lot of business--" "It's the tourney! They're going to hold the Spring Tourney HERE, in Bonsur!" "What! Why?" Rhonda demanded. "I don't know, why not? Bonsur is a good place, friendly people, a good beach-" "I bet Debby Tonte was behind the choice!" Sarah Sundance said, laughing suddenly. "I do like that woman, she has good priorities." "Maybe so." Kate frowned. "But if there are going to be hundreds of gladiators and all their hangers-on: managers, trainers, armorers, cheering sections, water boys, all those people, coming into Bonsur, well... where will we PUT them? There aren't that many inns, and even if all the vacant guildhouses are pre-empted, STILL-" "Tents on the fields outside of town?" Luau Lila suggested. "Not OUR fields!" Queenie, who had taken the care of the vins on the Beach Babes property as a personal responsibility, took a step back toward the door. "They'd trample the vins! RUIN them!" "We'll just have to make sure they know the vins are important and need to be left alone," Lila said. "Maybe if we distract them with a big feast on the beach...." She fell silent, fingers tapping on the table. "Whole pigs to roast, sweet potatoes, fresh pineapple if we can get it...." * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 670): CRATER FACE of LAB EXPERIMENTS (Mannequin, mgr.)

SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly BONSUR games. Former top team BEACH BABES was unseated this week as CHURCH LADIES moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-0-0 record for the round. SAW HORSE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested REDONDO RHONDA and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SAW HORSE put down REDONDO RHONDA, causing her to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. Although KONA KATE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious CHAINSAW CHUCK. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7! Many and various are the arts of battle. In BONSUR "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! BONSUR, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is TOOL SHED, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of CHURCH LADIES are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. QUEENIE take warning! You have more than a few enemies in BONSUR. I can not but mention with disdain the name of PAULA who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 13 points below in the rankings. I thought PAULA showed great skill and promise when she defeated QUEENIE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! The girls are as pretty in BONSUR as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CHAINSAW CHUCK 2582 16 5 0 119 TOOL SHED (262) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PAULA 5923 18 5 3 116 CHURCH LADIES (548) MARY ANN 6019 14 4 1 100 CHURCH LADIES (548) KONA KATE 6064 18 6 0 99 BEACH BABES (309) -BARILOCHE 6050 14 11 1 91 SENTINELS (122) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME QUEENIE 6034 22 19 0 85 BEACH BABES (309) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SARAH SUNDANCE 6038 14 22 1 75 BEACH BABES (309) LUAU LILA 6065 13 11 1 74 BEACH BABES (309) -ORSINIUS 6073 10 7 0 71 SENTINELS (122) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ETUGEN KHAN 6043 10 14 0 66 SENTINELS (122) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ALPHONSO BLACK 6108 6 1 0 48 SENTINELS (122) SAW HORSE 3430 5 3 0 47 TOOL SHED (262) REDONDO RHONDA 6066 10 14 0 44 BEACH BABES (309) MARGO 6091 5 2 0 41 CHURCH LADIES (548) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EILEEN 6126 3 0 1 32 CHURCH LADIES (548) ANNIE AWL 3432 5 3 0 31 TOOL SHED (262) -URSA MAJOR 6094 4 5 0 30 SENTINELS (122) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -NIKKI NAILS 6095 2 1 0 22 TOOL SHED (262) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

PERSONAL ADS Sentinels -- Good, you've been a rock here, and your absence leaves a noticeable hole. -- Jorja One real fight (a loss), and four wins against standbys? No wonder we made Top Team again. Nomad's away for now, but where are the rest of you? -- the Beach Babes, feeling put upon P.S. It hardly seems worth writing to the standbys, though they do answer now and then. And Queenie says she's "too shook up" to write to Chainsaw Chuck. Oh, well. LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS PAULA devastated QUEENIE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
