TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Team Profile: Dire Fate
Some say they were banished, some say they were ashamed of the stage names they
were given, and others say they were just lost, but most agree they don't care where
Dire Fate was during their 20 year hiatus from Aruak City...even if they were
possibly the first to ever kill an Arena Master with Reignbo Warrior.
While 20 years sounds like a long time to be gone from the arena sands, imagine
if that time away was spent meticulously watching, studying and cataloging the
fighting habits of every prominent warrior in Aruak City (or "the A.C." as it's now
called by the younger duelers). In any case, continue to imagine that every sword
that is broken and every gladiator who wears down their competition by exhaustion
adds another statistic to the ultimate compendium of knowing thy competition. And
while this type of extensive analysis is fun to imagine, it sadly wasn't the case.
In fact, during their departure Dire Fate was so far removed from the world of
gladiatoring, they referred to their previous vocation as "gladiatoring."
So why have they returned? Because they owe my boss money and this is how
they're going to work off their debt (keep in mind that we don't always bet on our
own). It also explains why they've got me as a manager...my boss didn't want to
shell out the extra coins for Lord Xiang, JGR or one of those other managers who
believe fighting involves such bizarre concepts as "strategy" and "winning". Nope,
they got me whose motto is the less armor and weapons you use, the cheaper you are to
compete and dispose of. Of course, I'm no slouch on the training front...just check
out my record in Arkers and you'll see that I've only lost one fight to date in my
entire career.
Keep in mind that Dire Fate is just one of the teams I manage and "train," with
the following under my belt as well: Dead For Hire (Arkers), Fantasia Isle
(Lyratilan), Voodoo Zoo Etc. (Chimlevtal) and House of Rats (Jhans), three of which
took the top Career Win-Loss spots on their recent returns. Collectively, I refer to
them as the Institute of Wreckology (or Breakneckology, but the latter didn't fit on
the stable crest). I also have a new team heading to Mordant for the Olympics...
they'll be the ones with the crutches.
As geriatric as my warriors are, we hope to bring back the action and excitement
of the good old days, even if it means taking a fall or two to boost the egos of our
opponents...and there's been plenty of boosting lately.
Rust in peace,
SwineTiger

Shania's position in the line of riders was close behind the magician and the
man she guessed was the leader of this band of elves. She could hear them clearly as
they talked, which suggested that either they didn't think she could understand their
language, or that she would never be in a position to make hostile use of what she
heard. Her guess was that the first was the strongest factor, because they were not
speaking the language of the high elves which seemed to be so peculiarly pervasive
across many universes. But she was a master of information, and that included a gift
for learning languages with incredible speed.
She learned that the magician's name was Houlisarmin, and he was arrogant and
that he was contemptuous of elves of his race who were of lower...caste, of all elves
who were not of his race, of women of any race, of...nearly everybody. Such an
attitude was a grave weakness in a magician, and she would find a way to use it
against him. Had already, by leading him astray from her companions.
The leader of this raiding party was Benauloire, and while he was not so filled
with contempt for others as the mage, he had a good plenty of it. The leader of the
smaller group the gladiators had ambushed was Kielisnirs, and nobody liked him or
cared whether or not he ever returned to rejoin the group. Which he wouldn't, all
that little group had been killed, and a good riddance.
"But I do think," Benauloire said, "that the Prince was less than wise to send
us out at this time. With the goblin war to manage, he should not have weakened the
city's forces by our hundred."
"Goblins!" Houlisarmin's voice carried a heavy sneer. "As if those mongrel
beasts could ever be a treat to the True People!"
"King Arrengilas has a value for them, apparently," the leader said.
"Arrengilas fears Nishtar and thinks to bolster his forces with the beasts.
This is good. It will make it all the easier for us to strike at him unawares."
Benauloire was silent for a moment, then said, "Prince Uthren is..." he sighed
and shook his head, "nothing good will come of treachery.
"Arrengilas gives too much away to the lesser peoples, all in the name of
'politics'," Houlisarmin sneered. "It will weaken us in the long run. Uthren Dhu is
wiser and will make a better king."
"If he is not overwhelmed because he has dispersed his forces on such raids as
this one!"
"It is a ruse," the mage said, shrugging. "Let Arrengilas see that all is
normal with us, and he will not think that Shavrad might be planning a master stroke
against him."
The names meant nothing to Shania now, but she stored them in her memory.
Politics could be a tangle, and in such a situation, information was a potent weapon.
She would use it, as soon as she had located the right point to strike. These people
were an offense against her concept of elves. She would bring them down if she
could.
Ashon Chang squinted into the twilight, then glanced at Rughal. "We could have
waited until morning to branch off into this scouting expedition," he said mildly.
"We'll have to stop soon anyway or break our horses' necks in a ravine we didn't
see."
"The horses can manage well enough for another hour, and then the moon will
rise," the ranger said. "I don't want to waste time."
Ashon Chang suppressed a sigh. He was going to miss Vurand. The orc was
closest to Rughal, strange though that would have seemed a year ago, and had provided
a buffer between Rughal's anger and his companions. But Vurand had stayed with Tyrai
and the two lizard-folk. Still, this was the right division of their forces. He
was...nearly sure of that. The large group to the north had to be scouted; Rughal
was best for that. But someone needed to go with the ranger and make sure the
festering tension caused by the loss of Shania didn't lead him into something
foolish. And a larger group did not make sense for scouting. The others could
contact the lizard-folk that were supposed to live in the swamp and try to set up an
alliance. But he still didn't like this dividing of their forces.
"We should not ride all night," Ashon Chang said. He kept his tone mild, but
firm. "The horses will need rest."
The silence seemed very long. Finally Rughal sighed and admitted, "Yes. A
couple of hours, then we'll stop. Start on again before sunrise."
Her captors kept going till sunset, when Benauloire ordered a halt. The
magician protested, but the company's leader said, "We will gain nothing and lose
much by pushing on. The horses need rest, and so does the new stock."
"You may stop the company, I suppose," Houlisarmin said, "but you are not MY
commander, and I will continue. I have no more time to waste wandering around out
here."
"You will kill your horse."
"I should care? It is an animal, a marginally useful brute. There will be
others when I need them." The magician urged his weary horse to a faster pace,
rapidly pulling away from the main group.
Benauloire looked after him for a moment in silence, then said, "Fool." The
word was soft but vehement. Then he turned in his saddle and snapped orders to the
riders behind him. He spoke quickly, and Shania didn't catch all the words, but it
was obvious that he was issuing orders for a halt and a night camp. She wouldn't
object to rest, water, and food herself, if it was offered. If the man had more than
that in mind things could get...exciting. She was not so helpless as they might
think, especially with the magician gone.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hi Aruak!
Sorry to be an absentee duelmaster but the boss was otherwise engaged and distracted.
But we're feeling optimistic, a little lady named Intendrid, from this very city and
this very team that I now represent, just stole Johrdeal's attention squarely back to
the arena! Way to go, Ms. O'Reilly!
Your Duelmaster,
J.J. Cooke
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ARUAK CITY? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight,
for there are sorrows to drown for SCARLET KNIGHTS II, whose 0-3-0 this turn dropped
them by 8 into 14th. Ha! COLORIFIC turned their 4-0-0 turn into a 3rd place rank in
the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Now
let's all watch PLATEMAIL POLITICS' heads swell from their 3-1-0 this turn. Haa ha
ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to
see BLUE EYES win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, BLUE EYES beat
HURT and HURT lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and
inability to defend the throne, JEREMIAH JAY COOKE has lost the Title of Duelmaster.
Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as
YELLOW STREAK takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh,
heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to
know what's new, don't you, ARUAK CITY?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. PLATEMAIL POLITICS, I suppose you'll be glad to know
you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you?
And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know?
It was JGW EXPIRATION. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, ROCKIE DEE was
this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. I CARRY THEM has cause to pause today, as SOULTAKER
was sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll
wager. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing
these kinds of weapons?
What does the ARUAK CITY arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of ARUAK CITY. I feel much better now. I see the
crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Molten Metal -- Quite an impressive showing, but to no avail. Maybe try something
different next time, like a winning attitude. Good luck in the future. -- Richard
Hendrix
Mr. Flay -- Next time stay in the kitchen and bake me a pie. After all, cooking and
baking might be a better career than trying to carry a filet knife into the arena.
There are better weapons, after all. -- Chuck Davis
Fuchsia -- In the words of the immortal poet M.C. Hammer, "Can't touch this!" -- Ron
Steele
Special! -- FOUL! I don't know what's so special about you. If you did that in a
game, you would foul out. Next time I'll try a shot from downtown. -- Jean Felix
Delia's Gone -- One more round. Good to know there's another Cash fan out there. --
Rod Grizzard
Citizens of Aruak City -- I'm ready to officially declare myself the unchartered King
of Aurak City. If you have a problem with that, I'm down here and able to be
downchallenged. Might do you "Health, Humility, Honor" hypocrites some justice.
After all, you're being beaten by your own game in your own home. By a Delarquan, no
less. Maybe you would fare better if you lower yourselves from your golden perches.
After all, some of you are good at trying dishonor those who grace your fair city.
<ahem> Tankesh, where is your big mouth right now? Got another dishonorable
statement to take yourself from the dregs you inhabit? You could just be like your
other counterparts that show more honor than you; they welcome me and spar with my
warriors in honor. Wow, I've even stooped to an Andorian tactic and only up-
challenged while I was here. And where am I? Hmmm. I would suppose if a Delarquan
is able to take Andorian tactics and win with them to a degree never met by a
Andorian, then the Delarquan is hands above any Andorian. Of course I could be
running my big fat mouth right now! <hysterical laughter> -- JGW
Seraphim and Lord Xiang -- If Andorian honor is given my avoiding, I am dedicating
all five of my warrior's avoids to you both. You have my respect and I honor you on
this battlefield we share within Aurak City against Andorian scum. Of course, those
who have not dishonored me have my respect and honor. I think I might want to
include Purple People Eater, Kennleworth (who is a worthy Delarquan-type manager in
wool), and Mino to those I have honor for. -- JGW
Blue Eyes -- Well, thank you for your one word, but your lessons are more valuable to
me, after all. -- Chuck Davis
Lord Xiang -- Thank you for noticing my efforts here. After all if you can't lose to
them, don't join them! Maybe you need to rethink your strategies here within the
city walls? -- JGW, who knows you came here to play by their rules
Seraphim -- Don't let Lord Xiang get to you. After all, you have my number in
Mordant, don't you?! You'll get back to good standing in this city in time. When
you are fighting such inferior warriors with flawed morals.... -- JGW
Koro Cloud -- Don't give up, though. It might be a good thing to have the 'worst
rate' comment associated with you. Something for the masses to remember you by!
Honestly, I hope you do better in time and against those who are not Delarquan. --
JGW
Patton -- I was avoiding you, pal. But you stubbornly pursued me. Your offense was
better than my best defense. A salute to your strategist. -- Tangerine Toad (feeling
sort of pastel)
DA Heretic -- What's a poor gal to do? (Except hate you!) -- Violet Vulture
Treestump -- Well, shucks, I could have told them you were better. Geez! -- Magenta
Maggot
Shiver me timbers! This'n old pirate done bragged me four 'n oh, 'n then gone 'n
done yon blimey oh 'n three. Gonna walk yon plank er shut me mouth! -- Mino
Jeremiah Jay Cooke -- We critters salute your DM title. Well done. -- The Animal
Farm Team
Jon Fleet -- Man, you can do just about anything your heart desires in that cellar.
(wink) -- Tangerine Toad
Scarlet Knights -- Mea culpa. Another death. We are so sorry. Sympathy did not
need to die. And for Bull Et Proof's first victory? It was not worth the loss.
Sorry. -- Kennelworth
Sympathy -- I was just challenging "anyone" above but as close to me as possible. I
did not mean to end your fighting days. Truly. I hang my head in sorrow. -- Bull Et
Proof
Jeremiah Jay Cooke -- All right! Well done Duelmaster. It is great to see a Gerfel
back on top. Duelmasters drink free at The Bulldog Inn. Let's celebrate. --
Kennelworth, Proprietor
Jo -- Feisty Bostonian? Cool. Do I talk THAT funny? I do have some of their
characteristics. For example, I can buck; I can be pushy; and I'm not very good. --
Bucking Brahma
Lord Xiang -- I didn't help you much with your prediction, did I? I would have liked
to, though. -- Bucking Brahma (with NO loss last round)
Lord Kronos -- You were by better, as usual. Ah the life of a horn blower.
Kennelworth sends his pfblttt! -- Bull Horn
Zyn'Kyr -- If I cannot pronounce your name, perhaps you should win. -- Man's Best
Friend (loud barking)
Windchaser -- Jazz? Is that allowed? -- Bull Horn
Health. Humility. Honor. -- Kennelworth
JGW -- Shucks, and to think, we liked old Loco! -- Kennelworth
JGW Expiration -- Still getting it done, we see. Well done to y'all and your
manager. -- Kennelworth
Godling? Godling? Godling? Well, sometime back in my youth.... -- Kennelworth
Jeremiah Jay Cooke -- Congrats on taking the Throne! I look forward to reading your
DM column. -- Lord Xiang
Dire Fate -- Welcome back to Aruak City, Swine Tiger! -- Lord Xiang, mgr. Lethal
Heritage
JGW -- 11-4 three turn record? NICE!!! Zero kills? What kind of Delarquan are you,
anyway? *grin* -- Lord Xiang, who can still root for his compatriots, even though
he's promised to play nice himself *evil grin*
JGW -- 72% win record? SWEET!!! Oh, wait, that's right. I forgot you went native,
too. *chuckle* -- Lord Xiang
Kennelworth -- Tsk, tsk, tsk. Bull Et Proof, too? I think I shall hire a pollster
to conduct a survey of your fellow Andorian managers about the recent conduct of
stables belonging to The Consortium through out Andorian territories. I have a hunch
we all know that the results will read that you should have a representative in
Mordant. -- Lord Xiang, enjoying himself immensely
Bull Horn -- Well, you'll be in good company, since you'll be sharing the dog house
with those members of Lethal Heritage that have lost to you. -- Ghengis
Kennelworth -- Fandil crotchety? Doesn't sound too wise to me. I think it was his
scribe got used to the easy life and deliberately messed up the orders Fandil
actually gave. -- Lord Xiang, not wanting to be turned into a newt
All -- I, too, want to echo Kennelworth's sentiments for everyone to have a grand
mailer! Officially, my warriors are all Mordanti volunteers, but we all represent
Aurak City. -- Lord Xiang
Magenta Maggot -- The one and only! Now, if I can only learn how to drive this new
fangled contraption! -- Patton
Kronos -- I would not seek your eternal death so I could have a few more minutes. An
hour, maybe, but not a few measly minutes. -- Ghengis
JGW -- Re T537 post last turn. Now, now. Tankesh's nostrils aren't any more
elevated than any OTHER Andorian's. Just keep up what you are doing. He can't
ignore results for TOO long. -- Lord Xiang
Tangarine Toad -- Ahhhh, the infrequent taste of victory against a Consortium stable!
I shall savor this for quite some time. -- Patton
The Singing Bandit -- I'm surprised you were able to take such abuse and still live.
A word to the wise, don't try to keep holding on in that condition. It can be
lethal. -- Rommel
Flying Nun -- I usually make it a point to avoid religious women. That certainly WAS
one sided. I'll have to send somebody better suited to deal with you.... -- Fiona
Bull Horn -- <scoffing gentle laugh> Mortals.... -- Lord Kronos
Man's Best Friend -- You must be a dog to have a name like that. Despicable.... --
Zyn'kyr
Jean Felix -- Za BOON! Who's next?! -- Special!
Kennelworth -- I imagine your brother Fandil is waiting for Adie to show up in
Ardivent? Well, it seems she is stuck with him off in another land and is...
preoccupied. It would be a shame if she never returned.... (dripping sarcasm and
evil grin) -- Fiona Starmantle
Purple People Beast -- <sarcastically> Oh, we're SO sorry that poor Adie or Tankesh
could not reply to your frivilous drawl. We'll make sure to take care of you in
their absence. -- Fiona
JGW -- Since Tankesh is off, probably busy fighting Demons or some silly nonsense, I
think we can speak for him <wicked grin>. You know, like your countrymen, I do not
kill discriminately, but I would have to agree (rolling eyes) with that silly elf
that Mordant IS truly a cesspool of backstabbing scum. Not that I wouldn't be right
at home in that sort of culture, but I am above that and much too refined. I save my
best for the 'good' people of the world. Scum like the Mordanti are mere stepping
stones to toss away at my convenience. -- Fiona, 'Dark' Elven Shadow Arcanist.
P.S. JGW, you can expect that you're own misplaced sense of honor, indeed how you
see yourself, will always be trampled on in Aruak, by these 'honorable' Andorians, or
by the truly...ruthless, who lurk in the shadows. I'll let you figure out who that
refers to on your own...if you are capable. <knowing smile>
Lord Xiang -- <rolling eyes> -- Zyn'kyr
Ghengis -- Indeed Bull Horn WAS tasty! -- Lord Kronos
Lord Xiang -- I will see what I can do about challenging in the Guard. -- Kalidor
Jeremial Jay Cooke -- Ah, glad you won that fight. It's always best to take the
title with a win. Congratulations. -- Jo Mooncatcher
Bionic Buffalo -- There they are again, those nasty, biting, electronic bugs! I hate
'em! Take them AWAY. -- Rockie Dee
Burn Da Witch -- That seems...unimaginative. -- Jon Fleet
Superficial Hitman -- Ah...you just tap your target lightly on the shoulder, eh? --
Koro Cloud
Jumpin' -- It makes my knees hurt just looking at you. -- Windchaser
Kennelworth -- (exasperated scowl) I'm a guy. -- Jo Mooncatcher
P.S. It's short for Joseph.
Tankesy, Crystal Fireblade, and In Gerfel We Trust aka Raoul -- I'll try to get
something written for this time (I even KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!), but I was offered a
chance to spend the day goofing off in good company, and how can I say no? -- the
Scribe
28 March 2006
We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
11 April 2006
To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.
