TEAM SPOTLIGHT
*** Well I say, this is embaaarrassing. One was supposed to publish this months agoh.
But something toohk the entire gladiatorial commissiohn out ofb&daaare one sayb&
'commission'. Oh I am such ah frightful boy! (Hah ha) And they could not handle the
games properly. One has heaaard rumours that it was caused by some questionable shell
fish that was bought from ah minotaur pirate! But I feel I should have honoured the
waaarrior in questiohn. Soh, without any more delayb& ***
The Restful Pastures mortuary was quiet. If one wanted to be crass, they would say it
was dead quiet. Igor Svenson, the owner of the restful Pastures, had opened his
business when he was but nineteen. His father, a watchsmith, had wanted him to follow
in his footsteps. Igor had obeyed and was spending his time after school learning the
trade. In the beginning, he found the work interesting. If it was not for one fateful
day, he would still be working in his father's shop to this day. Maybe he would have
struck out on his own and opened a shop in Ti or one of the other bigger cities.
But it was the funeral of Phillip Rose that changed all of that. Phillip was a long-
time friend of Igor's father. The two had played together as children and their
friendship had continued until the day of his demise. Phillip was a merchant and a
successful one at that. His caravan travelled across Alastari trading goods such as
furs, liquor, and furniture. Despite the protest of his wife, Phillip would accompany
his caravan on some of their journeys. He said he did it to make sure the goods
arrived safely. But the fact of the matter was that he did it to see the land. He had
married young. And even though he loved his wife, he didn't get a chance to do
anything. But she didn't know about, nor care about his wanderlust. She was worried
about the bandits that prowled the roads and country side waiting for caravans such as
his. When he was younger, it was different. He could handle a sword and he was sixty
pounds thinner. But now he was an old man who loved his rich foods and naps.
During one shipment, Phillip's caravan was attacked. It happened when they were
travelling across an open plain. He was tasking some brandy to Tarrgir in the north
when some of the 'Ravens' came from out of nowhere and attacked them. Phillip Rose and
the caravan raced across the plains in hopes of escaping. But the Raven's had faster
horses and easily outpaced the heavier wagons and surrounded them. The coachman pulled
the wagon to a halt, locked the wheels, and held his hands up. Phillip, realizing they
were outnumbered did the same thing. One of the bandits promised that if they
surrendered, they would be allowed to safely return home. Since they had already lost,
why not just let them have the shipment and return to Arkers with wounded pride and a
few Eagles in debt. Soon the caravan realized that they were better off fighting. The
Ravens had lied. As soon as the wagons were secured, the bandits fell upon the doomed
merchant and his crew.
The body of Phillip and was soon discovered along with the torched remains of the
wagons and the butchered remains of the crew. The scavengers had hacked the corpses so
badly, they were barely recognizable. But after the mortician got a hold of Phillip,
he looked perfect. The viewers were amazed at the condition of the body. It didn't
look like he had been hacked to pieces at all. The family thanked the mortician and
they actually looked relieved that he was going on to the next level in some form of
normalcy. That was it. Igor had made his last watch. He wanted to bring joy to
families that had lost someone just like the mortician. His father was disappointed,
but he understood. Soon after the Restful Pastures was opened.
The doors to the mortuary had been long closed and locked. The work day was done and
Igor Svenson was at home sitting in his favourite chair. He was nodding at this time
and he had a glass of sherry in his hand. This always happened when he ate too much of
his wife's beef stew.
The doors may have been locked, but Igor tended to forget a window that was near the
formaldehyde. This is where he preserved the bodies and the open window cut down on
the fumes of the chemicals used to do that. This window was not common knowledge
unless you worked for Igor. Unfortunately for the snoozing owner of the Restful
Pastures, his two assistants had discussed the possibility of leaving the window
unlocked. Both were well into their pints and were in no condition to do anything but
sit in their drunken stupor and reassure themselves they had locked the rear window.
The drunken Swordsman was crowded and extremely noisy, someone had overheard the
conversation. And that someone was opening the window now.
Carefully, the window was opened and a black boot poked through and placed on the
stone floor. A jug was place on the floor and the rest of the intruder came through.
He decided to leave the window open and allow the cool night air to come in. As he
felt around in the dark, he banged his knee on one of the tables used to prep the
bodies.
"Hells! Excuse me there, sir. One is terribly sorry to have bumped your bed. I guess
one can safely call it that. But as you, one's old bean, can see, it is hellaaa daaark
and I have had more than one's fair shaaare of spirits. "Oh! That will leave ah
bruise, I must say."
Of course the cadaver did not answer. It simply lay in the gloom and on the table with
its torso open and held in place with pins. The cavity of the torso was completely
empty. There was a hint of preservative coming from the body. The workers must have
decided to go to the Drunken Swordsman in the middle of their work or this was common
practice for the mortuary. Whatever the reason, the drunken intruder moved around the
table a little better. His eyes were becoming accustomed to the gloom of the room.
The figure continued to fumble around in the dark. His hand had gotten tangled in what
he hoped was a sheet and he roughly pulled to free it. Finally he felt his hand hit a
candle. The candle fell over onto the table, and the silhouette of it could be picked
out in the moon light. Next to it was a rectangle box. The intruder managed to pick a
match from the rectangle box and, once the candle was upright, light it. B Soon the
darkness was chased away by the glow of the candle. It was surprisingly bright all
things considered and things became more visible. The silhouettes that look liked
skeletal fingers and jagged edges became cups holding tools and tables and chairs. The
mortuary wasn't that big. Even thouh it was officially one of the mortuaries for the
city. But Igor was subcontracted to handle some of the commission's work. This he did
with great joy. Not out of some morbid fascination like one would accuse him of. But
it was an honour to lie to rest the warriors of the arena. He even had a chance to
work on one of the orcs that were in the city. She was a real challenge because the
wounds were so severe. Her opponent, the Star of Destiny, had been generous with the
ferocity of his attacks. Plus that brute of a leader they had, Igor thought it was
'Dead Scar', was threatening his life if he did not make her beautiful as she was
alive. She was an orc! How beautiful could she be?
There was a book shelf off to the right and it was stuffed with books on embalming and
other thoughts on the trade. There was a table with two chairs and a jug on it.
Across the room was a door that obviously led out to the displaying area. To the
intruder's left was a wall of drawers. This was what he was looking for. He picked up
his jug and slowly moved over to the drawers.
The drawers were stacked four high and ten across the wall. Each drawer had a metal
card holder and a bit of paper with a name scribbled on it in ink. The intruder began
to read each card. It was pretty easy going. Whoever had written the place cards used
a meticulous hand and did not blot or smear the ink. Finally, mid-way through his
search, the intruder found the drawer he was looking for. Fortunately for him, it was
second from the bottom and he would not have to bend over or squat down for what he
was about to do. He placed the jug down and pulled the drawer open. It rolled easily
on its well-oiled wheels and came to a stop with a thump. The intruder moved the
candle over the body that was inside of the drawer. It was Audacious Lee. "Hilleaoh
daaarrrling." The intruder said. "It is me; Maquro Doomaxe". He placed the candle on
the cadaver's chest and picked up the jug from the floor.
"This is hoh it ends, eh? All of that skill and promise. Now look at you, one's old
bean, laying stiff and paaarky in ah drawah resembling an old pile of cluhthes. I once
talked to uhthers at ah tourney about your skill. You, one's old bean, knoh. We were
simply talking shop. "
Marguro took the cork from the jug and looked around. There was a stool next to a sink
that was next to the window. He did not notice it when he had climbed through the
window. But there is was, The stool would have made his climb a lot easier. The orc
walked over and grabbed the stool and brought it back next to the body of Audacious.
He sat down on the stool with a plop and poured two mugs of wine. He carefully placed
one of the mugs on Audacious body as well.
"Sorry love. we aaare lacking in tables here. Noh, where was one? Oh 'eaaars! I don't
mind telling you, one's old bean, that I am absolutely gutted with you for doing this.
No, really. Hoh daaare you! You were my mountain summit. You, one's old bean, were my
holy grail. You were one's goal. If I could beat you, one's old bean, I would have
completed ah spiffing feat. You were ah highly skilled opponent that inspired myself
to doh bettah."
Marquro took a big gulp of the strong wine in his mug and refilled it. For a while het
orc sat in the mortuary, his candle silently burning. In his wine soaked mind,
remembered their fights. The way Audaciously could control the entire thing and not
once allow him to gain complete control of the fight. He laughed at the thought of the
image of him staggering around on the sands like an oaf with two left feet.
"You did giz myself ah propah thrashing, didn't you? Well, one had best be ohn one's
weay. Gods speed to you, one's old bean, ohn your journey to the afterlife. Meay your
god welcome you, with open aaarms."
Marquro pushed the cork back into the top of the jug and stood. The room seemed to
sway and he fought to stay upright. His stomach felt like it was doing flips. If he
did not leave soon, he would be sick in the room. There was no need to be
disrespectful, so he turned to leave. But before doing so, he turned to Audacious Lee
one last time.
"You, one's old bean, meay keep he mug. I am sure the Drunken Swordsman won't miss
it."
Marquro finally found his way back to the window and climbed back through it. He still
forgot the stool that would have made the climb a lot easier. But he did remember to
shut he window.
The next morning Igor Svenson and his two assistants arrived at work. The assistants
reeked of alcohol and they looked like they had been drinking all night. Well that
would be a lesson to them. They had responsibilities and should really know better.
But what they saw when they opened the embalming room sobered them up. The room looked
normal except for the stool used to reach the higher shelves, Igor was not a tall man
and needed something to step on when getting work material, was kicked over on its
side, and had rolled into the middle of the room. One of the drawers of a recently
deceased gladiator was pulled open. Closer inspection of the corpse revealed that she
had an empty mug resting on her chest. That was odd enough. But the thing that sobered
up the assistants was the wine coloured smile on her lips.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
This Duelmaster achievement is dedicated to the noble warrior "Doom," who was
needlessly killed on the sands of Arkers. He is missed.

SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. For every
winner there is a loser. Speaking of losers, lets take a look at PEASANT REBELLION,
who went down to 6th from 15th. Life is tough. Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing,
HEATHEN HORDE has advanced 6 places in the rankings. Advancing in the rankings was
BB PUBLIC TRANSIT who went from last turn's 39-47-1, to this week's record of
42-47-1. Hey everybody, watch out for CORRECT CHANGE, who flew up 25 points in the
rankings after mashing BOSTON TEA PARTY like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy.
And falling like a basher in the top ten was FELDSPAR, who dropped 16 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with ZIP IT. EADSKAR DA'BAD got through to the
Duelmaster this turn. No doubt he was more than anxious to kick REAPER's tail out of
the throne! Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was
BLOODY HAND CLAN's EADSKAR DA'BAD, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by
REAPER. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at
that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ARKERS arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid SERIOUS LEE, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does ARKERS really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch THE
CHOSEN's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from
SERIOUS LEE. And who is this THE GYPSY you ask, with 93 points and a 10-9-2 record.
Ooh, the tales I could tell! Was it guts or an overtaxed mental capacity that had
ETON THE STALWART challenge up 28 points in the rankings to take on GROUND SHEET? I
heard ETON THE STALWART laughed all the way to the inn as his new point total of 83
was posted in the arena. I guess beating GROUND SHEET really pays! Well, it looks
like HALIN STORMBREAKER wasn't happy with last turn's rank, so he went for broke by
challenging up 28 points. No guts, no glory. Some advice to HALIN STORMBREAKER.
Please don't challenge up 28 points to fight a 10-9-2 fighter like, say THE GYPSY.
(Okay, so it may be a little late). HELGA LOARWEN of THE CHOSEN had better have a
good reason for challenging down 13 points in a challenge which she won. I thought
HELGA LOARWEN showed great skill and promise when she won victory over LORD SHADOW.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes
and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Goodness gracious! So much downchallenging in an Andorian arena. Those managers should
be ashamed. I suppose that is the only way any of such lesser managers can win, but it
is still disgusting. -- Curator
My Smithsonians were 2-1, despite all three being challenged, 2 of which were
downchallenges. I am proud of them. -- Curator

win that one. -- Curator
Me luckum. Helga gud. Me needum firewater. -- Sitting Bull
Den, Hoyt Foundation, Jheri, I salute you for your win, but despise you for your
downchallenge. This is an Andorian arena, and if you are going to do that, you donb t
belong here. I would say go back to the Big N where you could prosper, but you havenb
t done much prospering there, either. I guess you will just get chewed up wherever you
go, but it is sad to see you lose what honor you have also. -- Curator
Wow, Steel Prophets, THAT was a bloodfeud! 57 point downchallenge, 31+ FE advantage.
How in the heck could Boston Tea Party have won that? But he did, and I'm proud, and
I'm laughing all the way to the bank, -- Curator
A salute to the Duelmaster, Dedb ard Skullkrush. Well done. -- Curator and The
Smithsonians

Ground Sheet -- The odds makers said I didn't stand a chance but however unlikely I AM
a hero! It was evident to all that my cuddly attractiveness was almost too much for
you to bare! Like a true hero, I spared you the humiliation of losing to someone so
tiny. No need to thank me! Your assistance in helping me discover a new super power
is thanks enough! Please forgive my absence for the next few cycles, there is a far
more dangerous situation developing elsewhere that requires my special abilities.
Fear not, True Burrowers, I will return! -- Magnetic Wombat
From beyond the beckoning mists
comes the Heathen Horde
Maces firm in mailed fists
rune-etched shield and sword
The war gods spear tossed aloft
"Hnikar has you all!"
As skraelings begin to fall
the blood of battle flows
As weapon and enemy clash
noble and ignoble both
Fall and breathe their last.
I dedicate the dead to Odhinn. -- H8
