Point:
Raoul looked around, stunned. He hadn't formed a clear picture of what he could
expect to see in Point, but it hadn't been anything like this. It looked like the
aftermath of disaster, before anyone had started to clean up. The kind of aftermath
that left people wondering if it was worth cleaning up. There were only a few
buildings left standing, stone ones on the highest ground near the arena, and they
were battered looking. Elsewhere houses were broken open as though by earthquake, or
reduced to a tangle of fire-blackened beams. And he could see weeds growing up
through the rubble, so it hadn't just happened. Whatever "it" was. What had been
the waterfront simply wasn't there any more. No docks or sheds, no boats. Not much
beach.
Raoul took off his bowler, looked into it as though in search of answers and
found none, then put it back on. "Do you think Peranis knew anything about this?"
Berdan shook his head. "I have no idea what Peranis knew. I'd heard that Point
had fallen on hard times, but nothing prepared me for this!"
"Well, if Peranis wasn't prepared, he'd've gotten a shock. And he might be
having trouble getting a boat to take him wherever he plans to go...."
"He might still be here!" Jeri agreed. "I didn't think we'd catch up with him
easily, but...."
"We haven't caught up with him, not yet, doll," Raoul warned her. "He might be
here in Point, and he might not. Even if he came here, and we don't know that for
sure. We look around, and we ask questions. Carefully. Don't forget that Peranis
might have friends here."
"We can ask at the arena," the gladiatress said confidently. "There's bound to
be someone there still. Arenas are never completely abandoned, are they?"
"I would abandon that one," Berdan muttered, glancing around the wreckage of the
town distastefully. "This whole town should be abandoned."
"Ah, don't say that!" someone protested. "We're doing the best we can with the
materials at hand, and we'll get this place cleaned up and back on its feet in no
time. Well...in not too long a time, a year or three...."
The three travelers turned. They were being addressed by a man in an extremely
dirty carpenter's apron worn over clothes that were cleaner but heavily patched.
"I'm Ketl Chakor," he said. "I am--I was, I mean, the public relations agent for the
Point arena." He glanced at the battered walls of the arena sadly. "It's such a
come-down for it to be used as a cattle pen, when we had so many great warriors
once."
"Cattle pen?" Jeri clapped both hands over her mouth to stifle an incredulous
laugh.
"What happened to the town?" Raoul asked quickly. This public relations agent
looked like a laugh at the arena right now would put him in tears, and thus prevent
him answering questions.
Ketl Chakor frowned, his eyes darting quickly from side to side to make sure
that no local person was within earshot. "Greed," he muttered. "It was destroyed by
greed--and *I* think it was the Assassins' Guild that planted the rumors and set it
all off." He gestured toward the lower slope, where a pile of tumbled rocks might
once have been almost anything. "Rumors of treasure hidden in the Ogre's Tomb.
Fools! When they opened it, the monster got out. And then..." his gaze slid
uneasily toward the shore and the cold-looking waters of the Trier, and his voice
dropped, "then something came out of the lake. The whole town was destroyed in a
night of storm and blood. Many of the gladiators that stayed behind with the arena
was closed were killed, and the others weren't enough to drive off the monsters.
Those who could make it to the arena in time were saved; it was an inspiring defense.
But the next morning, when everyone saw what had happened...." He shrugged. "Most
people left. Didn't want to do all the work it'll take to rebuild, figured the place
was bad luck, couldn't stand the memories of what they lost here...lots of reasons."
"There've been hard times all over," Raoul said. "Seam just had a major geyser
burst out in the middle of the town--"
"I didn't hear about that!"
"It just happened. An assassin named Peranis set it off...." He looked a
question at the local man.
"Peranis?" Ketl Chakor looked uneasy. "He's got a lot of power here...bought
out the only two taverns left half-standing, owns a boat that ferries back and forth
to Iaye and up the coast."
"That sounds like Peranis," Berdan agreed. "An opportunist. Is he in town now,
do you know? We would like to...speak with him."
"No! No, I don't think he's here now. He came through, but he didn't stay. He
took the ferry over to Iaye."
"Then we'll have to follow him over and talk to him there," Raoul said. "When's
the next ferry run?"

Zuwayza:
Tankesh didn't waste time cursing, he had a decision to make, and fast: fight
or flight. He could take the two men that were supposed to "teach him better
manners," and their captain and the rest of his men as well, come to that. He wanted
to. But would it forward his mission, which was to get into the Kashka, kill the
traitor, restore Kasarya to her rightful position, make sure the Andorian League came
out of the whole mess looking good, and get out safely himself? Or run, change his
appearance yet again, and try a different approach? Prudence said he should run, but
he didn't want to.
"You leave him alone!" Kasarya screeched.
Tankesh half sighed, half grinned. That would do it! No guard liked taking
orders from a civilian, and damned few Karnhorns could bear to take orders from a
woman, and then when you throw in the apparent difference in class.... He turned,
dropping into a hand-to-hand fighting stance. No point in killing these men if he
didn't have to; they were just doing their jobs.
Party of five, two men dismounted and carrying clubs. Okay, clubs he would
fight bare-handed until he could grab one and turn it on the other. But if either
one drew a sword, they were dead men. He feinted to the left, wove right, and then
darted toward the left-hand man and grappled briefly, seizing his club in time to
turn and parry the other fellow. The right-hand man staggered a little when his blow
met unexpected resistance, but he recovered fast. So did the one Tankesh had
disarmed, grabbing him from behind in a bear hug. Tankesh slammed his head back,
butting the bear-hugger in the face, stamped on the man's foot, and twisted free.
By this time, the other two guardsmen had gotten their mouths closed and were
dismounting, drawing swords. So much for Mr. Nice Guy. His sword slid into his hand
as he turned and moved to put the wall at his back. If the women had any sense--and
Kasarya, at least, should--they'd get out of the way.
Taynisya took a step forward and said, "Do not kill him! This is the man for
whom the Vizier has been searching, and he must be delivered to the Kashka alive."
Tankesh took note, in the back of his mind, that this had been a trap all along.
Taynisya would pay for that, but later. Right now... nobody told him that he had to
keep these Karnhorn Palace Guards alive. Especially not that captain, sitting on his
horse and waiting for his men to "teach the peasant manners." Afraid to do his own
dirty work? Or did he just feel that he was above such things? Whichever, he was
going to find himself in trouble soon enough....
Tankesh took out the first swordsman before the man could get set, with a
slashing sweep to the sword arm that crippled it. Then spun back to drive off one of
the club-wielders he'd fought first, back to the second swordsman.... The action
flowed into a blur guided by instinct and years of training, years that even the best
of these guardsmen couldn't match. They were probably good enough to dominate
peasants, but that wasn't good enough to take HIM.
Which the captain seemed to recognize, finally. He drew his own sword and
leaped down from his horse. Off-hand shortsword for parrying, Tankesh noted, and
steel back- and breast-plates instead of the leather worn by his men. The captain
moved like a man who knew what he was doing, too, probably trained in one of the
better local schools, maybe even a local duelist... but could he equal a gladiator?
And would the other men, the two that weren't badly hurt, stay out of it? He heard
the sounds of a scuffle off to the side, and Kasarya cursing, but couldn't turn to
look. With luck, she had taken out one of the guardsmen; at the least, she was
keeping the man busy.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Aruak City,
Hi, all! Cool, I got to chill on the throne for two turns. I got some new
cushions for the chair. It'd been a while since they were replaced. I got big
squishy pink ones. Sorry about all you future male duelmasters!
Well, I'm off to the isle. Thanks to Superbeast for the easy win. I have to
admit, after posting my abilities last turn, I didn't clue you in on the key to my
devastating success. Even though I prefer to run very slow, I've run nothing but all
out from my dead tourney until now, because with one skill short of a master decise,
I decided none of y'all would expect me to just leap forward. So to all you
offensives I mashed, don't hold it against yourself. I'm fast, and with this
battleaxe, I hit hard and fight dirty.
I'm going to enjoy immortality... Have a good one!
Duelmistress
Shairlindria
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of ARUAK CITY! Once again I've been called out of
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Ever take one of those
association tests? You know, he says black, you say white. Water-Lake, Sky-Blue.
Try this: Flop. KNIGHTS OF VIRTUE! Looking for a good fight, confident, skilled,
tough opponents. Well don't look at GIRO PELETON, cause they dropped by 12. Some
people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I
ramble. Well GERFEL'S FRIENDS moved up 1, to 4th. What's with VAJRA VALMEJAR? She
actually beat PAYNT THY TOWNE II's NAEVYE, and walked away with 26 more points from
the fight. Laughs were big at SCARLET KNIGHTS while they watched VAJRA VALMEJAR
clobber NAEVYE. He lost 22 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the
stands. See how the Duelmaster Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's STONE GOLEM? That
sort of initiative is how she got where she is now. The crowds were amazed this
turn, as STONE GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, SHAIRLINDRIA, leaving TUFT TUGGERS in
mourning. So now THE ARDIVENTI CHEF gets to be ARUAK CITY's Duelmaster. But what
comes around goes around. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip
about your fellow fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. ARUAK
CITY thinks CARNIVAL and their 53-51-0 is too much! If at first you don't succeed,
give up... Management must be dealin', as the boys at TUFT TUGGERS ain't reelin'!
CARNIVAL's mad! What do people see in ENBALMER? His 9-9-1? THE LIVING DEAD ain't
talkin', but he's got 48 points. ATOMIC CHUCK of U.B.O.S.M. knows how to pick 'em.
He challenged TATIANA SEASPRITE of SCARLET KNIGHTS who is up by 19. Now was this a
wise move? ATOMIC CHUCK perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was bested by
TATIANA SEASPRITE and ended up with 3 recognition points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Who will dare fight BRIQ, after he returned from the Dark
Arena? (For the record 13-10-1 is 80, and has he points) Here's some advice: study
your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Remember--a
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Carny -- That was funny timing. I was just sitting down to tell you how funny I
thought the name Nugatory was when I saw your ad to my team. Thanks! -- Darkfist,
mgr Pete's Pikes
BTW -- I always wanted to try a decent AB so 7-3-8-21-21-3-21 (but I guess I'd have
to start him as a lunger and hope to style-switch him later... at least, it worked
for Furious, right? ;-)
Armalias -- Glad to know you're still around after all this time. I could swear we
met at a Face once. -- Darkfist
Zlatina -- I'll be happy to provide you with another easy win if you teach me another
5 skills. Deal? -- Chinese Habu
Tankesh -- Thanks for the welcome. I thought I was 'incognito' but I guess Adie was
too clever. -- Poison Ivy
Adie -- I would be happy to meet you at the Bulldog Inn. We can toast to
Kennelworth's health. I miss him. -- Poison Ivy
P.S. Not sure when, if ever, What's Your Poison will return. It depends on my other
dead warrior's return. All of the good warriors on this team died. The puds on the
team are all still alive and well, of course.
All -- So what's the Aruak City record for Dark Arena kills? I've got 3....so far.
Black Orc twice, Shewish Giant once, who's next? Who's left? -- Petacchi
Crissy -- My my. You're an energetic one. -- Martin
Jazmine -- Congrats on the TV at the tournament! Perhaps I should have made the trip
myself? -- Ann Grande
Nila -- I just get my armor adjusted, turn around, and you're already looking like a
fish on the beach gasping for air. Really now; pace yourself. -- Dariusz
Talia -- Ahem. Respect your elders! Really though, nicely done. -- Piotr
Vajra -- My family is from a far away place (the Czech Republic). Our land suffered
greatly from the "Great Vowel Migration" west. -- Piotr Wysmyk
This is when they all went to Hawaii to laze around on the beach, right?
Lonnie Johnson -- Wow, what a difference a bit of strength exercise has done me! I
clobbered you! Hey, why not hit the fingers? Something extra special about yours,
or did you say that out of general principle? -- Segallion
Kedro -- I was avoiding challenging you, because you're so big, you probably check...
I mean HIT pretty hard. I didn't want to you slam me into the boards... I mean, pin
me to the arena wall. I might have to come back for you if you're going to let me
win AND teach some skills. Thank you. -- Zlatina
Hanacek -- I can't believe you scummed me! Damn it! I have to find my prefered
weapon, this is getting really annoying! -- Abegail
P.S. The skills were great though, thanks!
Oranji -- I don't care if you're an alliance mate or not. I have to tell you how it
is... You got owned!!! -- Branford
Gerfel's Friends -- Thank you, thank you! A nice treat to be the DM a couple times
to top off my long career as a gladiator. -- Shairlindria
Ski Mask -- Hey, blow it our your @$$! I'm a hard core Ducks fan! All I was saying
is they had the crappiest luck in seeding match-ups! Now they're kickin' the butt of
some team called 'the Wild' that they should hopefully beat now that they're two
games up. So don't give me any crap, or you'll get a high stick to your pearly
whites! -- Zlatina
Street Legal -- Is it you that's a Wild fan? -- Zlatina
Glleellmann -- I'd figure you'd like bounced attacks. -- Abegail
Sir Boyd -- The RUGS, to my knowledge, have never flushed the chamber pot in Aruak
with regard to my Tuft Tuggers. For some reason though, I hear the Maniacal Tufts
are finding some good recruits... I wonder how they're doin'... -- Tankesh
Tankesh -- I thought you were managing them too, or at least you're supposed to! You
haven't been paying attention to them? I was wondering about some of the new
recruits, they look kind of shady to me. -- Adie
Adie -- <shrug> Oops... I've been busy. I didn't know I was running them too
anyways. They seem to only show up for tourneys anyways. -- Tankesh
Sir Boyd -- Home? I didn't know you called Aruak home. Welcome home, then! --
Generalissimo Puerco
Hitch -- That was a breakthrough (no pun intended) fight for you. People who bad-
mouth you have obviously never let you swing. Well done. -- Orion Orange
Jughead -- I tried to help you out of the challenger champs, but it didn't work! --
Bootleg
Shairlindria -- Congrats on your invitation to the Isle. Too bad your stay with us
could not be longer. -- Generalissimo Puerco
Shairlindria -- If I knew you had that I would've avoided you like a plague. Good
job. -- Superbeast
Haldir -- I don't know if you realize that both your kills are of my guys. Don't
worry about it though. We got our revenge in both cases. -- Dartor
Bootleg Patchworrk -- Ah, I see. It's having the double digit in the MIDDLE of your
number that does the trick for you. Very strange. I would have expected the double
digit at the END, where it is symptomatic of the end of the fight, would be better.
But apparently not. -- Jughead Trilby
Orion Orange -- Gods, you make me hungry! Ravenous. Must be the color. -- Hitch
Randy Rhoads -- I don't like the way you cut my hair at ALL. Too short on the sides,
too long on top, and your bowl has a crack in it. You make me look like a dork. --
John J Wuss
Zlatina Anguelova -- Quit pulling my hair, dammit. -- Kedro
Dariusz Gil -- You are too catlike for me. I never really cared for cats. -- Nila
Sundancer
Segallion -- But then again, their destinys may well be driven by crossing my path.
Or perhaps... ah, I see it now. Having fled the Temple and come here where I am
accorded quite different treatment, I may be allowing myself to take an improperly
inflated view of my own importance. Perhaps I should have remained in Tlinsa Ikat
and bowed to the will of the Sun. -- Nila Sundancer
Axly -- Great tourney! -- Carny
Marcus Kuerton -- Exceptional tourney. -- Carny
Jabmine, Marnier, Dariusz -- Not too shabby. -- Carny
Alan Holdsworth -- That weapon! Try me unarmed. -- Nugatory
Adrayuri -- Looked good! -- Yo-Ho-Ho
Abegail -- Do you mean me? Spelled with one 'G'. -- GLLEELLMANN
Daniel Justiceblade -- I charge for skills. -- Glleellmann
Rick Derris -- Why? Why! -- Double Jointer
Q.O.W. -- You know I've never somehow caught the date of A.D.M. splits. Does
everyone know except me? -- Carny
It happened in the last week or two before this. -- Temp Ed.
Seer King -- Welcome! Do well! -- Carny
30 April 2003
All -- Remember to put your arena number on your strategy sheets. Strategies turned
in without an arena number run the risk of missing the turn. -- NAIEI
10 May 2003
To All -- Fellow managers, I humbly request your help. My team (Ex Oblivione) was
started in Monuntial (DM 34) back in '92. They were active for seven months. I have
lost all early traces of them. If any of you can help with copies of relevant
newsletters or, if you fought one of my warriors, copies of the fights, I would
greatly appreciate it. I only have one of my original warriors left from the early
team now active in DM 60. You can diplo me with any info here in the wonderful city
of Aradi. Thank you in advance. -- Enigma, manager Ex Oblivione
