                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

"This is the last tray, Sarrey." A plump woman placed a metal tray with fruit tarts on 
it onto a wooden cooling rack. The rack she placed the tarts on was built into the 
wall of the building that served as their bakery. The name of the bakery was 'Ghea's 
Delights'. The cooling area was a simple room with three walls and a threshold with a 
door.  Two of the walls hard windows that were covered with cheese cloth. This allowed 
air to circulate without allowing insects in to hop around on het bake goods.

The wooden racks were big. They were six feet in length and the same in height. The 
racks originally had a 60-tray capacity. But Erys Bowe felt that was too close. She 
didn't think that allowed enough cool air to circulate. If they were too close 
together the flaky crust and crusty loaves of bread would be soggy. Erys prided 
herself on her baking. Especially her tarts that are said to be the flakiest and 
tastiest of the city. To be fair Erys was the one to say it. But she did not run out 
of patrons that would agree when she pressed for an answer. So, there might be 
something to the claim.

Erys Bowe was a short woman with brunette hair in a tight bun. She was also a heavier 
woman. Her curves had settled down to her hips, thighs, and ankles. She had always 
dealt with her weight since childhood. It did not help that she loved baking and would 
most of her time with her grandmother learning her tricks around the kitchen. Erys was 
a widow. Her husband of seven years had died during a work place accident. He was a 
mason by trade and had fallen off scaffolding while spreading mortar.

Her business partner, Sarrey Tayl, had other opinions. It wasn't that her pastries and 
breads were not good. They were tasty to her as well. But she felt that they could 
bring in more money if they used the full twenty tray capacity. More sells would allow 
them to expand and maybe use the building next door. It also wouldn't hurt to have a 
few extra jer-hawks to stow away for retirement. They could not break eggs and deal 
with the heat of their wood burning ovens for the rest of their lives. Maybe, just 
maybe, she could actually take a holiday. Sarrey had heard that the hot springs in 
Seam were absolutely marvellous.

"That is good" Sarrey said wiping her hands on a kitchen towel that was covered with 
caked on flour. She was a short plump woman as well. Her youthful hour-glass figure 
had given some ground to a fuller waist and chest. Not to be out done, her bum joined 
the race to fill out the more slender areas. But this was the price one paid for a 
ten-year-old successful business. Sarrey had skin as pale as milk and hair as red as 
fire. Her eyes were as green as emeralds.

"The water is boiling. I think we have time for some tea before the delivery man 
brings in the restock of supplies."

"Now that sounds good." said Erys. The two women walked into the kitchen of the bakery 
and prepared for tea. An area of the preparation table was wept clean of flour dust 
and a clay tea pot with a quilted warmer wrapped around it was place on the table. A 
plat with danishes were placed next to the tea pot. The Danishes were obviously baked 
in house. Nothing but the best for us Erys would say when asked if they ever tried 
other bakers in the Arkers.

There were others in the kitchen as well. They were the apprentices and menial 
labourers that helped the ladies get the baking and mixing done. There were four of 
them. And their slowed movements spoke of working an early shift to have all of the 
baking done for the early shift.

While the women had their morning tea and the staff cleaned the kitchen, two beady red 
eyes peered around the corner of the neighbouring building. The full head of a goblin 
poked around the corner. A mischievous smile spread across its lips. 

Another goblin strutted from around the corner. "Heh... Where are dose tarts ya 
promised, 'Acky?"

A tiny green hand reached out and grabbed the collar of the goblin. A good stiff yank 
brought the goblin back around the corner.

"Will yoos be quiet! Ya are gunna get us kaught. Listen. Dey are right 'der." 

The goblins sat in silence listening. The sound of workers cleaning could be heard. 
The sounds of water washing dished and utensils.  The clanking of cups of tea against 
sauces. Someone told a joke and the whole kitchen erupted with laughter.

"Hehehehehe... Do ya see? as soon as ya walked 'n 'da kool'n area, dey would see ya 
an' den 'der would trouble...Hehehehehe... Dey would kall da militia an we both would 
be 'n jail....Hehehehehe... Do yer fink any uv 'da lads would kome ta our 
aid?...Hehehehehe... Not likely. We have ta be stealty. We are 'da smartest uv 'da 
stable afta all."

Wiley beamed a toothy smile at his friend. 'Acky could swear he could count every 
tooth in his head.

"Heh... we are da smartest.... Hehehehe... So, wot do ya fink we should do?"

'Acky looked off into the air and stroked his chin as if he was deep in thought. He 
had once seen a human with a beard do that and it looked as if he was pondering a 
great riddle. 'Acky lacked the chin whiskers, but she thought it made him look more 
intelligent. If that was possible.

"Heh... I got it. We wait until 'da staff leaves.... Heh... Dat usually leaves da two 
ol women 'der... Heh... We kan den sneak 'n an' take a  kouple... Heh... Maybe wun uv 
dose apple piez too. We den sneak back out an back ta our stable house."

"Yeah. But wot if dey see us? yer jus told me 'dat i kouldn't go 'n," asked Wily. He 
was standing on his tiptoes and looking through the cheesecloth screen at the cooling 
delights.

"At 'dat point, 'oo kares... heh...  Dey are not fast.... Trust me on dis. Dey will 
neva katch us... heh but da staff iz younga an' dinna. Dey will katch us. So, we 
wait."

And they did wait. Soon the staff said their goodbyes and headed home. The goblins 
peered around the corner and saw the staff exited the bakery and headed either left or 
right once outside. Those that went right were not a problem. They were going in the 
opposite direction of the goblins. Fortunately, most turned right because it was also 
the easiest way to reach the main road.

Those that turned left were a nuisance. Turning left would alert them of the goblins 
skulking around the bakery. This caused the goblins to hug the wall they were hiding 
behind. Neither moved or breathed as the three workers passed. They were so exhausted 
that they did not talk or look up. The sound of their shoes beating against the 
cobbled back alley faded and the two goblin pastry thieves relaxed. The only sounds 
were the two owners talking. Now was the time to strike.

'Acky placed his green index finger to his lips to signal for Wily to be quiet.  Wily, 
in turn, nodded that he understood. The two goblins waited a few more seconds and 
silently stalked toward the door to the cooling area. Inside on the women was talking 
about some gossip around the city. The two are so involved in their conversation, 
neither notice the tiny, green figures creeping past the door and edging towards the 
cooling treats.

'Acky was the first to grab a fruit tart. It was warm, but not too uncomfortable for 
his tiny hands. The tart was blue and red with a crust of white sugar forming a hard 
glaze.  Wily grabbed one as well. His was peach. The goblin sniffed the tart and 
immediately chomped down on it.  His tiny taste buds were swarmed with the taste of 
peaches and a bit of orange.

"Oh, 'Acky. Dese are fantastic mate!" Wily said. He still had a mouth full while he 
talked and bits of the peach flew from his mouth.

He shoved the rest of the warm treat into his mouth and made to grab another. This one 
was blue and red like Acky's. 'Acky was finishing up his tart. "That is blueberry and 
raspberry. I usually steal these. They are the best."

Wily nodded and scarfed down the rest of that one as well. He looked around to find 
something new to try.

"Are dose sticky buns?" he asked. But he did not get an answer to his question.

"What do you think you are doing?" a deep voice shouted at them.

The two goblins stopped in mid-chew and turn to see a tall man standing in the door 
wat to the cooling area. He was and had arms that had grown thick from years of 
carrying sacks of flour and grains to the local kitchen. Unsurprisingly he had a sack 
thrown over his left shoulder and another was being carried in his right hand. His 
hair was black and thick. He also had a beard and moustache too. His blue work shirt 
had sweat stains under the armpits. His black work pants and boots were covered in mud 
and other unknown substances.

"Well, answer me." He said louder.  His voice must have carried because Erys came out 
of the kitchen. When she saw the two green interlopers standing next to the cooling 
rack with half-eaten pastries in their hands, her face turned red with anger.

"Sarrey, bring the pins." She shouted back into the kitchen. The sound f a chair being 
scraped across the floor and the plodding of heavy footsteps stopped at the doorway.

Sarrey Tayl handed Erys Bowe a large wooden rolling pin. It had smaller handles on 
each side that allowed her to hold it like a club. Sarrey had a broom in her hand. The 
large man delivering the supplies was so big, he blocked the exit back outside. He was 
cracking his knuckles and looking menacing at the goblins.  Not all of the workers had 
left because a young girl walked down the alley. She was carrying an empty box.

She had taken the trash out in it. Mostly old egg shells and peelings from the fruit 
they used.

'Rebecca. Run and get the militia." The girl dropped the box and ran back down the 
alley.

Since this was going be his last mean, Wily shoved the rest of his tart into his 
mouth. He looked over at 'Acky and saw him still standing there petrified.  So he 
reached over and took the rest of his tart. He then should it in his mouth and 
finished it as well.

Finally, 'Acky got the strength to speak "Look, ladiez an gentleman. I know how dis 
looks. But ya have ta understand, we are hungry an' homeless. Do yoos want me an' ma 
brotha ta starve ta deth on 'da mean streets uv Arkers?"

The nervous goblin finished the lie with a broad smile.

The three stepped forward. "Not our problem."

'Acky opened one eye and looked around the dark room. He was laying on the bottom bunk 
of a pair of bunk beds. The mattress smelled of old sweat and urine.  He groaned as he 
tried to sit up.

"They are ol an' fat, 'e says. Dey would neva katch us, 'e says."

'Acky looked over at Wily and was about to tell him to stop his whining when he saw 
his teammate. Wily was beaten pretty bad. He had three knots on his bald head and his 
face looked a bit swollen.

He had taken off his shirt and had exposed his battered body. His green skin had dark 
bruises on it.

"Yoos look terrible" 'Acky said and held the side of his head. A severe pain was felt 
over his entire skull.

'At least I have both eyez."

'Acky reached up and touch his puffy left eye. It had been swollen shut from the 
beating.

"Yeah. Ya got da beat'n from da roll'n pin. I got 'da tenda attention uv 'dat git an' 
'da woman wit' 'da broom. So much for im not katch'n us. But 'da food was gud tho."

'Acky made to stand up and immediately felt a sharp pain in he left leg. He rolled up 
his pants leg and saw his entire leg was covered in bruises. He sat back down on the 
bed with a thud.

"When kan we kall 'da othaz ta get us outta ere." 'Acky asked. He really needed 
something for this headache.

"'Dat's right. Yoos have been out for two days. Dey already kame. Urgarg said dat if 
we wuz stupid enough ta get kaught steal'n pastries, we deserved ta be ere. "

"'Dat meanz..."

"That means ya lost 'da title. 'Dat iz unless yoos know a way ta defend it from a jail 
cell."

'Acky felt worse. How could his teammates leave them here? He would get even with 
them. Especially Urgarg. He was angry because 'Acky had gotten the title before him. 
This was his way of stealing it.

"Just yoo wait Urgarg. Yoos'll get yours."

"Wat?" Wily asked.

"Nothin. Nothin at all."

'Acky rolled over onto his side and tried to block out the pain in his head. He also 
planned.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

Pilgrim (Automobile)
The Pilgrim was an automobile built in Detroit, Michigan, by the Pilgrim Motor Car 
Company in 1914. The Pilgrim was known as a light car that weighed only 1,450 pounds. 
They produced a five-seater which was powered by a 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine 
that was water-cooled.

Pilgrim (Plymouth Colony)
A pilgrim is a traveler who is on a journey to a holy place. Typically, this is a 
physical journey to some place of special significance to the adherent of a particular 
religious belief system.

Pilgrim (Eric Clapton Album)
Pilgrim is the thirteenth solo studio album by the British rock musician Eric Clapton, 
released on March 10, 1998 for Reprise Records. The album features all-new studio-
recorded material since Clapton's 1989 hit album.

Now, I am really confused as to what I am, except that I KNOW I am Duelmaster. So 
there!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail ARKERS!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as BLOODY HAND CLAN is pushed 
out of top team by BORN LOSERS, who came from 4th with a 4-1-0 this turn.  BORN 
LOSERS stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings.  
This brings them up to 1st place.  Good work, guys!  The HOYT FOUNDATION guild has 
had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this 
kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, WILY GIT fought SHAWNDO and gained 21 points 
and contributed to BLOODY HAND CLAN's 1-3-0.  SHAWNDO has lost to WILY GIT, falling 
14 points, while helping make HOYT FOUNDATION a 4-1-0 turn.  'ACKY GIT challenged for 
the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone SMITHSONIAN's warrior.  
Defending his title for another turn, PILGRIM kept BLOODY HAND CLAN's warrior, 'ACKY 
GIT, from claiming the throne.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from 
unimpeachable sources that The Swinging Aardvark uses trolls in their stew.  Talk 
about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  HOYT FOUNDATION has cause to stand tall, as 
they were ARKERS' most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  
And guess who avoided HOYT FOUNDATION stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
BLOODY HAND CLAN.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that THE 
SHRIEKER from BORN LOSERS was ARKERS' most challenged warrior this turn.  Tsk, tsk, 
tsk.  PUNK CHILSNER, does your manager know you're challenging down 16 points to 
fight GETTYSBURG from SMITHSONIAN?  It pains me to see warriors take advantage of the 
system like this.  PUNK CHILSNER defeated GETTYSBURG, as if it surprises anyone.  I 
don't know about you, but THE SHRIEKER challenging down 18 points to BLOODY HAND 
CLAN's UGARG SNOTSNIK, is not really worthy of BORN LOSERS.  We're not surprised to 
hear that THE SHRIEKER won victory over UGARG SNOTSNIK, but I bet it would be 
interesting to hear why BORN LOSERS made such a challenge.  Well now, what do you 
expect when someone like KYRON FLEMING from BORN LOSERS challenges down 17 points to 
fight KANGRI THE STRONG of THE CHOSEN?  I thought challenges were for warriors, not 
cowards looking for easy wins.  KYRON FLEMING beat KANGRI THE STRONG, is nothing 
sacred?   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  A brave warrior does not carry a 
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in ARKERS again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Oh, ho! A fine round for my Smithsonians, and the DM back home in the museum. But it 
was pilgrim, not Gold Rush, why bagged the crown. Yes! -- Curator

Rumor has it that certain North-Of-The-Border types had troubles with fax machines. 
probably very high and recent technology for those from that region? -- Curator (in an 
instigating mode)

Punk Chilsner, I enjoyed our tussle, even though it was quite short. Not very punkish, 
my guess, but I hope you are OK. -- Pilgrim, DM

Kyron Fleming, maybe Ian could have come up with some fancy weapon technology to help 
you win that fight, meanwhile I will glow in the victory. -- Gettysburg

Toothless Love, whew, I'll bet that think packs a wallop! I am glad I stayed out of 
the way. -- Bunker Hill

Death Leaser, go pick on some bison. Leave me alone! -- Buffalo Roams

The Beggar, it was MY day,Jose. -- Gold Rush (feeling like he struck it rich)

Health. Humility. Honor -- Curator

Book of Thomas -- As I said, you cowards would not show up. I guess Pip Squeak is your 
only good warrior now. You don't want to lose him. Because we all know I would kill 
him. And I would wear a smile while I did it. -- Albus Bonerattler

Congratulations to Pilgrim on taking the tile. I guess you decided that you wouldn't 
get punked. -- Longshot and the Chosen

How can you tell a tourney is near? Born Losers shows up. I am surprised we didn't see 
Pheasant Rebellion too. Heh... That was Ria's best taunt. We really miss her. -- the 
Chosen

Pilgrim -- Heh... 'dat iz not fair... heh... i get nicked by 'da city militia for 
steal'n tarts an ya get 'da title? Noooooo!... Heh... yer should step down an' give it 
back ta me...heh... yeah. 'dat would be a gud idea.... heh... an' yer must say yer are 
sorry... heh... 'dat would only be fair. Wot iz wit' da tall hat an' funny look'n 
shoes?... Heh... blue whack-a-do! -- 'Acky Git

I cannot believe you bothered to steal fruit tarts and were too stupid to get away. I 
wanted tarts. -- Radteef Wazgrim

All hail Pilgrim! Da new duel'n masta an' da guy wit' da funny shoes. -- the Bloody 
Hand Clan
