I was going to just do this as a personal ad, but it got a little out of hand,
so I'll place this here, instead.
With Erithe graduating (a promise I made to her namesake) and Sephiroth going
inactive after this turn, I expect I'll be leaving. I was really here just to run
Sephiroth through to Challengers status, and not to resurrect the abortive "invasion"
from six years back. I might push Talkhis to ADM just for the heck of it, but
despite his stats, I don't see him being run after graduation, either.
I may have arrived with the abortive "invasion" of Aruak, but when I came back
to the game, my primary reason for running here was Sephiroth. With his stats,
bonuses, and rate of learning, I was seriously geeked about him. The rest of the
team doesn't, by any stretch, suck, but I don't like running in most Andorian arenas.
Because of my tendency to challenge for best effect no matter the direction, I'd have
to say most Andorian arenas don't like having me around, either.
Ergo, despite having two mostly-solid teams (even Pennywise is much better than
his record would suggest; he just missed 4 stat trains on a 15 will), I'll be leaving
after next turn. Either Sephiroth will have hit 30 FE, or he'll have died; in either
case, my reason to play here will be gone. It rather pains me, as Night's Guardians
is the oldest active team I have--it was originally in DM 48--and the second team I
ever made. (If you're interested, my oldest is The Illuminati in 25 but originally
from 37, as it was moved because I ran two warriors on my best friend's team Sabbath
Knights, also in 37.)
Kennelworth and the rest of the Consortium, while I may give you grief in this
arena about your stance on downchallenging and targeting vitals, understand that I
hold you in the highest respect as a manager. I don't think I could come CLOSE to
the records you pulled off if I didn't DA anyone.
Finally, I'm going to steal a page from the Consortium's DM columns. Here are
the stats of both teams, ordered by team and from lowest to highest. Good luck
un-shuffling them. :-)

Anyway, I'll be off shortly. I'm sure I'll see you folks around--I run full-
time in 26, 81, 101, and now in 102 (ouch), with tourney teams in 84 and a few other
arenas.

Fratsfa:
Lenpro was no magician, but he could tell that something had happened...even if
two men over in the corner hadn't been screaming and holding their heads. Something
magical, probably. He put down his beer, took the glass out of Dandy's hand--he
didn't want to know what weird concoction was in it--and stood. "We have to get back
to the Flower Shoppe," he said. "Fandil may need me."
***** *** ***** *** *****
Fandil was okay. That was a relief, but not entirely unexpected. His brother
was tough, and experienced; he would know how to defend himself. Against...whatever
that had been. He raised an eyebrow inquiringly.
"I don't know either," Fandil said. "Some kind of magical barrier, yes. But
whether it's intended to seal up the magical activity of Fratsfa, or block magical
communication with somewhere else--Andor, for instance, or what exactly was
intended...?" He shrugged. "I don't know who, I don't know why. But I think we
need to go to Andor physically and soon."
"I thought you were concerned about the safety of Emperor Alonj," Lady Fern
said.
"We are," Lenpro answered quickly. "But I would think we could leave that in
your capable hands, sister."
Fern frowned but nodded. "I'll take care of it."
Amen-Tei:
Senator Sedalia looked at his hands and sighed. The oars had rubbed them into
blisters, despite the gloves he'd worn. His back ached. And he loathed the clothing
that went with his costume. Would anyone here in Amen-Tei seriously believe that he
was an itinerant peddler? At least the gods favored him in one thing, and Senator
Dole was no longer resident in this town. He couldn't have fooled Dole for a minute;
one senator always knew another.
Sedalia had argued with the demon on the Black Ship, Tashkemk, that this
masquerade was unnecessary and would be unconvincing, but arguing with demons turned
out to be monumentally unproductive. In a human, the senator would have suspected a
simple enthusiasm for the theatrical, but did that apply to demons? But the worst
was that Tashkemk had insisted that the senator's companion, Gissanniah, remain on
the Black Ship as a hostage for his, Sedalia's, performance. Dammit, he had given
the demon his WORD. If they couldn't trust him, why employ him on this fool's
errand? And when he'd asked what guarantee HE had of the young woman's safety, the
demon had just LAUGHED.
All of which put the senator in a really bad mood, so that when a dockhand
slouched up and sneered at the wretched little boat, skiff, whatever was the proper
term, why, he let fly with some harsh language that would have blistered the hide on
a rhinoceros. Which, Sedalia pointed out in a calmer afterthought, the dockhand
rather resembled--big, ugly, stupid, with a misshapen nose, and a singularly unlovely
attitude.
It turned out that this was precisely the way one should approach sneering
dockhands, and the fellow tethered the vessel to the dock in some appropriate
manner--Sedalia didn't want to know the details--and helped unload the cargo.
The senator didn't care about most of the cargo. Yes, it was valuable, but it
was just stuff, and a man who couldn't pour out wealth to achieve a goal had no
business in politics. Still, it wouldn't do to let the dockhand think he had secret
agendas, so he asked questions about rental space and then watched closely while the
cargo was loaded on a cart, hauled to a sturdy warehouse, and stored in a sealed
room. One leather case with a shoulder strap and brass fastenings he kept with him.
Cargo dealt with, Sedalia's next goal was a dockside tavern called the Pig's
Eye. He had no great hopes of it but found the place cleaner than he'd expected,
busy but not raucous. Of course, he had no inherent objection to "raucous,"
political conventions were always like that. But which of these rather ordinary
looking people was his contact? What would a demon's contact look like, anyway? It
couldn't be another demon, surely, not here in the open.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Happy Yule time everyone! It's good to be up here again, this time not as some kind
of fluke. Filet Mignon sounded really good, so I had to take a bite. Looks like
there's some heavy duty challengers waiting, so who knows if I'll still be here next
time.
Either way, there'll be some thunking going on!
Thunk
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ARUAK CITY this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the
difference, as TECHNO 8 is pushed out of top team by ANIMAL FARM, who came from 2nd
with a 3-1-1 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are
sorrows to drown for PUBLIC ENEMIES, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into
8th. The BULLDOGS 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, DICKY V
GOES POSTAL fought BUTTER BURRO and gained 19 points and contributed to ARMED &
GREGARIOUS' 1-0-0. DRAYTON FLASHSTONE has lost to TWOFLOWER, falling 10 points,
while helping make IMMORTALS a 1-4-0 turn. And all eyes were on ERITHE ENDIREDRE
this turn as she ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. ARUAK CITY has a new victor!
By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at
The Bulldog Inn?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the NIGHT'S
GUARDIANS stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ARUAK CITY, what are
you afraid of? And guess who avoided NIGHT'S GUARDIANS stable the most? Believe it
or not, it was ANIMAL FARM. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn
was KRILL CAVALRY's warrior JON FLUTE. More fighters challenged him than challenged
the Duelmaster! I don't know about you, but SEPHIROTH challenging down 36 points to
KRILL CAVALRY's JON FLUTE, is not really worthy of NIGHT'S GUARDIANS. It pains me to
see warriors take advantage of the system like this. SEPHIROTH defeated JON FLUTE,
as if it surprises anyone. KEEPER OF SECRETS of NIGHT'S GUARDIANS had better have a
good reason for challenging down 11 points in a challenge which it won. I thought
KEEPER OF SECRETS showed great skill and promise when it won victory over SNOW WHITE.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
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. SILVER SNAIL must have surprised
ANIMAL FARM this turn, after they sent her to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena
couldn't hold her! Is it really true that ARUAK CITY has more dishwashers per capita
that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, ARUAK CITY, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

symmetry. -- Sephiroth
Kennelworth -- Have to say I'm surprised by the avoids, since most of your guys have
both a major style advantage and a major fight advantage over mine. -- Ichabod
Following in the footsteps of the Consortium: Erithe Endiredre, 13-11(1)-6-17-17-10-
11 LU, Good end, normal damage, Master init, attack, defense, AE riposte and decise,
favors SH. I thought she favored LO, but it seems it was her preferred OE of 10 that
I was seeing. TV'd rookies back in 2002, and will be retiring upon graduation. --
Ichabod Frothingslosh
Sephiroth -- Spoilsport! Still, since I'm leaving, I guess I don't really care. --
Horsefly
Talkhis -- I figure you're probably nuts. I like that in an opponent. At least, in
one who's nuts in the way you are. And a good student is always satisfying, too. --
Jon Flute
Mixed Breed -- That's...a remarkable appearance you have. I think I can trace hints
from at least five or six different breeds. The hound's ears, the bulldog's pug
nose, the dachshund's short legs, the poodle's, ah, pelt? A dalmation's coloring.
Oh, dear. I don't think I can bear to go on. You're astonishing, sir. -- Song of
Summer
P.S. But not good enough to defeat me, apparently, which is as I would wish it to
be.
Pup Tent -- Not in here you won't pitch yourself, or I'll pitch you right back out.
That's the same thing as insinuating that the roof here is no good, and it's FINE.
We haven't had a shower of frogs come through this roof in YEARS. -- Stableboy
Gray Matter -- Huh, like jurisdiction when the stream shifts on the border, eh? I
like things black and white myself, and if the stream wants to shift twenty feet
farther out on my border, why, I'll plant corn on the land gained. Why not? The
deed says the stream is the boundary, and deeds don't lie. -- Woodrow Billit
Twill -- I modestly admit that teaching skills is a specialty of mine. -- Woodrow
Billit
Dartor -- Thanks. It was a surprise. -- Jorja, Krill Cavalry
Our congratulations to the Silver Snail and Erithe Endiredre. -- Jorja and the Krill
Cavalry
Snow White -- Perhaps, but only the once. -- a humble practitioner of Zong Kung Fu

Garfeld Chardinee
Mocha Monkey -- I'm a slave to mocha. -- a humble practitioner of Zong Kung Fu
