TEAM SPOTLIGHT
The Bloody Hand Clan's guild house was dark and still in the early morning. The
sounds of raucous snoring from various rooms played a weird duet to the sweet sounds
of birds greeting the new day. Soon the streets of Arkers would be busy with the
sounds of people hurrying to their trades and offering their wares.
Marquro Doomaxe tightened the straps on his second backpack. The young orc had
come a long way since his arrival 26 cycles ago. Back then he seemed so naive. Kind
of innocent in a way. And his belongings all fit in one small pack. But now he had
seen and done things that the average orc, or man, could only dream of. He had nearly
taken lives. He had competed in tourneys against other warriors across the realm. He
had briefly, ever so briefly, rubbed elbows with an immortal.
Despite the outrageous 'membership fees' and 'taxes' that Eadskar took out of his
wages, he had managed to afford better clothing and better weapons. He glanced at his
old long sword and cringed, remembering when he roamed around Alastari with the
weapon. It had truly seen better days. The fake gold paint on the cross guard had
rubbed off in parts, revealing the shiny steel beneath. There used to be an eagle's
head on the pommel, but he had lost that several miles back in a duel with a
highwayman. The clod had actually thought he could rob the orc at blade point and
slither back into the forest unmolested. He was wrong and had paid for the trespass
with a long scar that ran down the right side of his face.
The blade had permanent knicks in it and could barely hold an edge. But he
managed to use it anyway. Marquro left the blade leaning against the wall of his
room. The others could use the sword as a practice weapon or give it to some new
comer joining the guild. Gutsag was not as cheap as Eadskar, but he could still pinch
a jer-hawk until it squealed.
Marquro lifted the largest of the backpacks onto his back with a grunt. Its
weight was not too bad. He settled the straps onto his shoulders. It felt good. He
then picked the other up and carried it as one would a duffle bag and exited his room.
The orc quietly closed the door after he exited. That is when Maud chose to
inhale deeply and release a snore that seemed to rattle the windows of the entire
house. Marquro froze as still as a mouse while he waited to hear her continue to
sleep or get up for one of her nightly trips to relieve herself in the communal
washroom down the hall. But the portly female orc did not do that. Instead her
mattress squeaked in protest as she rolled over. Marquro let out a whisper of a sigh
and continued down the hall and down the flight of steps.
This last part would be tricky because the servants could be up preparing
breakfast for everyone. If one of them saw him leaving with his packs, they would
scurry off to tattle or to shout an alarm that would wake the others. If the servant
stood there while the runaway abandoned the stable and not say anything, they could be
whipped bloody. There were only two ways out of the Bloody Hand Clan; an invitation
to the Isle or death. It was dishonourable any other way. One member had gotten away
without paying the price. Unfortunately a servant saw him walking off into the night.
Normally it paid to keep your head down and mind your business when you saw something
odd. But not this time. The poor bastard was whipped when Eadskar found out. Of
course no one believed when the human, now beaten unrecognisable and pleading for
mercy, claimed that they had seen Marquro leading the giant out of the guild house.
Thank the gods for that. Eadskar would have definitely taken his anger out on the
'pansy' orc. Marquro could never compete with the raw power of Eadskar in a fight.
No one was up yet and the door out was only a few steps away. That is when
Marquro heard it. It was a loud, sawing sound. Like that of one of the lumberjacks
at the wood mill dragging their saw over a tree trunk. Marquro quickly opened the
door and exited the guild house. There, passed out on the steps was Gutsag Bakwort.
The portly orc must have passed out while drinking again. This seemed to be his new
hobby since Eadskar's invite to the Isle. Marquro deftly stepped around the massive
orc and prepared to walk off. But then he had a thought. There was the jug of wine
sitting there. Gutsag had even put the stopper back in. Why not?
"Well, one guesses one could take anuhthah lashing of your maaarvelous
concoction. One will miss it. Absolutely top hole -- I have to say."
Marquro pulled the stopper out and took three deep pulls from the jug. The
liquid burned the back of his throat and gave him a warm feeling all the way down to
his stomach. Gutsag was truly talented at the craft of wine making.
Hesitantly, Marquro put the stopper back in the jug and quietly made his exit
from his former home. Soon he was at the gate and outside of the city. Even though
he was safe, Marquro began to run. He did not know why he did it, but it just felt
right. He did not stop unto he hit the tree line.
"You made it!" a deep voice rumbled. In the predawn light. Maquro placed his
hand on the hilt of his long sword. What were the odds that he would be robbed just
outside of the city? If this was the case, the orc made a vow to march back into the
city and sign up for the dark arena himself. But then he recognised who it was.
The giant moved quickly and scooped the orc up into his arms as if he was a baby.
It was Stonewall; the Shewish Giant he helped escape Eadskar's wrath so long ago.
Stonewall gently set the orc back down and looked at him, beaming ear to ear.
"Where to, Marquro?" Stonewall asked, grinning widely.
The orc closed his eyes, spun around and suddenly stopped and pointed.
"That weay. Heavens above! How smashing!" and the two left the main road and
began walking through the forest. Off the beaten path as the saying goes. And off to
a new adventure.
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Those betting on HOYT FOUNDATION lost their
shirt, as HOYT FOUNDATION lost their fighting abilities: 0-5-0. Nothing works for a
team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as THE OUTLAWS 2 can
attest... Good things come to those who fight well, as BROKEN SPIRITS can attest,
moving up by 0. THE OUTLAWS 2 had cause to celebrate, after CURLY BILL got 32 points
by beating PARIS TROUT. RAL STORMBREAKER certainly had a baffled expression on his
face, after losing to WORKER STRIKE and losing 17 points in the process! Duelmaster
LUCIFEROUS HOPE from BROKEN SPIRITS is going for the gold, as she Bloodfeuded HOYT
FOUNDATION's THE GYPSY. Ooh, the excitement! Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster
were disappointed by THE GYPSY, of HOYT FOUNDATION, who despite a 14-15-3 couldn't
overcome ARKERS' Number 1. Word has it one team in ARKERS is using psychics to
predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of HOYT FOUNDATION, alone and unchallenged.
As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of THE CHOSEN, so did that sorry
team shy from HOYT FOUNDATION Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and CRUEL LEE
is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't SERIOUS LEE proud! Take heed
ARKERS, of the unprincipled action of BREAK DOWN. By challenging 'ACKY GIT, 17
points below him, BREAK DOWN besmirches the noble art of dueling. BREAK DOWN bested
'ACKY GIT. The whole thing leaves a bitter memory. STANDING ROOM ONLY challenged
ETON THE STALWART! Who says BB PUBLIC TRANSIT are just a bunch of wimps! STANDING
ROOM ONLY of BB PUBLIC TRANSIT kept his wits as he beat ETON THE STALWART.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Like a
tattered, worn-out, faded, out-of-fashion garment cast out to rot, MAQURO DOOMAXE of
BLOODY HAND CLAN has been summarily sent to the Dark Arena. Q: What's a record like
5-8-0 get you? A: A free trip to the Dark Arena! This week's winner: MASON-DIXON
of SMITHSONIAN! DARK CHAMPION in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for DOC SCURLOK of THE
OUTLAWS 2. Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at The Welcome Wench will be! You've
heard about PARIS TROUT of HOYT FOUNDATION. Death plays no favorites, and neither do
I. What was a 17-17-0 doing on the fields in the first place? Oh hard! that to
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. ARKERS, I
leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Welcome Wench. 'Til
next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Congrats to Luciferous Hope, new Duelmaster of Arkers. Luci fought the best and
unseeded our own Boston Tea Party, who was probably not at his best due to the recent
"adders" in his tea. Enough for him! -- Curator
Luci Hope, that was a little unfair; you got me at a bad moment. (hic) -- Boston Tea
Party
M. Chardinee, Sitting Bull thanks you for the work out and the subsequent peace pipe

Zephyr
Ah, Ned. Or was it, Den. Oh, yeah, I know; that gal Scarlet Den everyone is talking
about. Kind of a cutie, I hear, in a crocodile sort of way. Well, sure. We can talk
girl-to-girl. Why not? So you run those Hoyties? Kinda embarrassing, isn't it? Did
you pick that name because they get hoit and bleed so much? To each his own, I say.
Well, shucks, I wish I could manage against you; I like easy jobs, you know. But Mr.
Zee won't let me direct or strategize. No. He has to maintain control, he says. I am
merely the publicist. Lotsa words, you know. Sorta like you, in a way. Words rather
than wins. But it is fun to have another female around here to talk to, even if it is
you. Oh well, sometimes I am so bored I even talk to the lowest-of-the-low. (That's
obvious, isn't it. ) I would wish you luck, but that is not gonna happen, so, rather,
I hope you can work your way out of the muck. It would be good for you. -- Zhelda, Z

PAYMENTS BY CHECK AND MONEY ORDER -- CHANGE
Please note that because of new bank regulations, we can no longer accept any check or
money order drawn off a non-US bank, even if it is in US Funds. We were just informed
by our bank that the fee to process these checks is $40, which is crazy high!
Many apologies to our foreign players, but you will need to either get a check from a
US bank (Chase, Citigroup, etc.) or pay via credit card.
Armsilbar liked being Master of the Stronghold Academy, all except for one part.
He had to talk to Sheila Greywand at least once a week, usually oftener. She was
getting more erratic. More chaotic. That would be the effect of the Grey Wand. It
was a powerful chaotic artifact, and she kept it with her always. She had turned his
predecessor into a frog--or 164 frogs--and then summoned all the members of the
Academy to a frog-leg dinner. That had been, ah, bad. Yes, very bad.
But here he was entering her chambers. With, well, it couldn't be called GOOD
news. And the look she turned on him--she was in an orcish mood today, all scowling
black brows and bared fangs--that made him nervous. But some things had to be done.
He cleared his throat, which seemed to have a frog in it, and said, "It's about the
next tourney prize, Lady. I know it's more than two months away, but this isn't too
soon to start thinking of some new, exciting prize--"
"I have no intention of thinking about 'new, exciting prizes'," she snapped. Or
was that a snarl? "These managers are getting above themselves. They act like I
created the arena system for their amusement! There will be one standard prize for
all the tourneys. Just one."
He had a horrible vision of all the managers walking out in a mass. Perhaps it
wouldn't be that bad, but it wouldn't be good. And if he said the wrong thing, well,
the next frog-leg dinner might be him. "Er, ah, perhaps a specific prize for each
tourney--a spring prize, a summer prize, and so on? The managers expect--"
She exploded. A literal explosion, the force of the blast blew his hair off.
She said several things in an obsolete dialect of orcish. He stepped backward, then
again. The blast had blown the door open behind him. If he could make it out before
something else happened--
"Ribbit! Ribbit!"
