STABLE WAR CHRONICLES [Prelude: Here today, gone tomorrow]

     Hi.  My name's Anna Thema, and I'm a gladiator!  Just thought I'd share a day in
the life of me.  I woke up one morning to a beautiful day in the heart and soul of
Andoria.  My feelings and thoughts were particulary heightened this day--as I'm
guessing every fighter can relate to:  "Hell yeah!  I get to fight today!"
     [Turn 699]--Anna Thema fights for the Rapscallions.  She stands 5'5", is armored
in ringmail, wearing a steel cap, and casually flips daggers in both hands.  Her
opponent, a clean match-up by the Gladiatorial Commission, is Xiurhn, fighting for
the Chaos Carnival.  She stands 5'10", suited in padded leather, wearing a steel cap,
salutes her opponent with a short sword in one hand while clutching a dagger in her
other.  Both of these warrioresses look well-suited to their selected weapons.
     As the two close distance, the crowd roars to life with approval.  Anna Thema is
the first to come out swinging, slashing with her daggers!  Xiurhn deflects, pivoting
around, seeking the counterstrike using her shortsword.  Anna Thema avoids the blow,
whirling like a dust devil, lancing a thrust with a dagger in response.  Xiurhn is
wounded in the head!  Staying in the pocket, Anna Thema follows up with a series of
slashes.  Xiurhn deftly deflects the blow with her own dagger.  Xiurhn feints an
attack!  She's hindered her opponent's initiative!  Wasting no time, Xiurhn strikes
with her shortsword.  Anna Thema takes a blow to the neck!  This bantam Rapscallion
gladiator panics, fighting desperately!  She looks gravely injured.  Xiurhn finds a
straight path, lunging with her shortsword.  Anna Thema is lanced in the forehead!
Gasping, this short fighter prays, "Gods!  Please give me the strength to finish this
fight!"  The wounds to her head and neck are too grave for Anna Thema to continue.
She is stopped by the Arenamaster.  Xiurhn is granted the victory!
     Unfortunately, after being rushed to the infirmary, I died--broken and alone.
Not quite how I thought my day would go.... (to be continued)

STABLE WAR CHRONICLES [I. No Rest for the Wicked--Part 1]

     (The last we left off, Anna Thema (Rapscallion gladiator) died in the infirmary
--broken and alone--from her match with Xiurhn (Chaos Carnival gladiator))
     [Turn 700]--This is a Bloodfeud match! invoked by the Rapscallions.  Fighting
for them is Fhai'tul.  He stands 5'7", entering the arena without body armor!, fixing
a full helm into place.  Fhai'tul grabs his longsword, freeing it from its sheath,
filling the air with a 'sheeeng,' leveling it at his opponent.  Standing for the
Chaos Carnival is Xiurhn.  She stands 5'10", checking the maneuverability of her
padded leather armor and snugness of her steel cap.  What's this?  She appears to be
unarmed!
     As the fighters begin circling one another, the audience rises.  Looking to make
short work of his unarmed opponent, Fhai'tul slashes with his longsword.  Xiurhn
dodges the attack, sidestepping to off-balance her opponent.  Finding her angle, she
lets loose with a roundhouse punch!  Fhai'tul redirects the blow with his longsword
as he leaps to his left, slashing.  Xiurhn dodges left, avoiding harm's way, once
again.  Applause erupts from the stands!  Fhai'tul strikes using his longsword.
Xiurhn throws herself away from the attack, escaping it by inches!  Fhai'tul slashes.
Xiurhn dodges right.  Fhai'tul slashes, again; this time finding purchase!  Xiurhn is
struck on the throat!  Riding the momentum, Fhai'tul lunges with his longsword.
Xiurhn successfully dodges!  The crowd chants its praise!  Cleverly timing his
opponent's motion, Fhai'tul thrusts his longsword.  Xiurhn is hit in the goin!  This
drives her into a desperate state!  She falls to the sand!!!  Xiurhn gains her feet
at Fhai'tul repositions, looking wearied.  No soon as Xiurhn stands, Fhai'tul lunges
with his longsword.  Rising to her feet, she has managed to get Xiurhn into a
decidedly precarious position, as Fhai'tul's lunging attack drove home into her left
elbow!  Sorely wounded, Xiurhn is incapable of further combat!  Fhai'tul has won the
duel! (to be continued)

STABLE WAR CHRONICLES [II. No Rest for the Wicked--Part 2]

     (The last we left off, the Rapscallions' Anna Thema died after her match with
Chaos Carnival's Xiurhn.  The Rapscallions invoked bloodfeud, sending Fhai'tul to
avenge their fallen.  He walked away victorius, but Xiurhn walked away, too....)
     [Turn 701]--This is a bloodfeud match!  Invoked, again, by the Rapscallions.
Folks of the Aruak City arena!, the Rapscallions have already avenged their fallen.
Could this be an exactment of sheer punishment?  Maybe a demand for an eye-for-an-
eye?  This isn't quite the sportsmanship-form we were used to in the heart and soul
of Andoria. Unfortunately, the Gladiatorial Commission has provided that four bites
of the same bloody apple are entitled--win or lose.  Let's see how the winds of fate
blow, shall we?
     Chrun'chyn fights for the Rapscallions.  He stands 5'10", straps down his
leather armor, smacks at his full helm, and whirls to life a long spear.  Xiurhn
stands, once again, for the Chaos Carnival.  At 5'10", she's suited up in padded
leather armor, wearing a steel cap, armed with a short sword.
     What's this?!  Xiurhn charges at Chrun'chyn!  She lunges with her short sword.
Chrun'chyn ducks out of the path of her assault.  He disengages Xiurhn's weapon arm
and steals the initiative with a lunging longspear attack of his own!  Xiurhn
sidesteps.  She seems to have regained her composure, obviously holding back from
attacking, husbanding her stamina.  Chrun'chyn presses with another lunging attack.
Xiurhn fades beyond her opponent's reach.  The warriors stand quietly, studying one
another.  Rapidly closing the distance, Xiurhn lunges with her shortsword!  Now it's
Chrun'chyn who turns, withdrawing out of his opponent's reach.  Xiurhn carefull steps
to her right, then strikes with her shortsword.  Again, Chrun'chyn evades the blow.
Xiurhn thrashes, wildly missing!  The fighters step back from each other for a
moment, appearing equil in skill.  Chrun'chyn is in motion.  Leaping now to his left,
he viciously lunges with his longspear!  Xiurhn has been struck in her neck!  As she
pulls herself away from his weapon's point, Chrun'chyn advances, thrusting.  Xiurhn
is struck in the head, dangerously stunning her!  Her eyes flame with desperation.
Chrun'chyn laughs heartlessly at the prospect of slaying his opponent.  Stalking her
perimeter, gaining momentum, Chrun'chyn thrusts forward, burying his longspear in
Xiurhn's head!  The Chaos Carnival warrior drops her weapon, slumps to the sand, and
is DEAD within moments!!!  The audience screams its approval!  Chrun'chyn has
overcome his opponent!  (to be continued)

                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Oh, what a great feeling this is!  Duelmaster!  Lord Protector!  I am so honored
and so happy!  Amazing!
     Slartibartfast, you were a great previous Duelmaster and opponent, and I really
wasn't so sure I could beat you, but Kennelworth gave me this new idea--just for you.
And, voila!  Happy Birthday to me!
     As a graduating Duelmaster, I will probably challenge the DA, but I see Gag
Halfrunt there with more recognition points than me.  Hmmmmm, maybe?
     It is traditional that Consortium warriors reveal their makeup at graduation,
and even though this makes me feel all naked, here I am: 10-12-12-16-19-8-7 SL normal
damage (a little hosed), good endu at birth a great blessing of +4 decisiveness
weight-trained to 11-13-12-17-21-8-7, increasing damage, carry and hit point level
master decise, adex attack, expert initiative at announcement
a skill learn rate of 2.29
pretty good with both normal weapons
          9-42-2 HA
     21-100-22 BS
faves guess: BS, high/mod, learns decise, slash tactic
     There you have it.  Who will be the next Duelmaster?  It won't be me as I will
have retired.  Good-by and may your pile of bones ever be plentiful.
               A Dog's Life, Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  It was a tough week for GRANNY'S MENTALCASES, to drop 4 places in the 
rankings.  Advancing in the rankings was BULLDOGS who went from last turn's 
1323-893-41, to this week's record of 1326-894-41.  Hey everybody, watch out for BLUE 
BULLDOG, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing PAIR-O-SEVENS like a 
melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on 
the sands.  DARK JESTER was overcame by PURPLE POODLE and drops 18 points.  In front 
of all the crowds, GAG HALFRUNT took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give the 
bum two weeks.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s 
at bay.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad THE  HITCHHIKERS?  Big bad THE 
HITCHHIKERS.  Big bad THE HITCHHIKERS.  ARUAK CITY's afraid of the big bad THE 
HITCHHIKERS.  Tra la la la la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  THE 
HITCHHIKERS + Weapons That go Boom = COLORIFIC + Avoid City.  And who is this SILVER 
HAIR you ask, with 118 points and a 19-7-1 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!  In 
a mismatch, our friend FENCHURCH of THE HITCHHIKERS got heroic notions and challenged 
RED-EYE.  What did it get her?  A 9-13-3 record, that's what.  Some advice to 
FENCHURCH.  Please don't challenge up 26 points to fight a 19-18-2 fighter like, say 
RED-EYE.  (Okay, so it may be a little late).   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Big man!  TANGERINE TURTLE kills 
FIRMAMENT.  Who ya gonna fight next, TANGERINE TURTLE--Minnie Mouse?  I hope CHAOS 
CARNIVAL has a good enough fighter to beat the snot out of TANGERINE TURTLE.  
Congrats to KOOCHIKOOCHIKOO for revenging the death of his teammate (but more 
importantly, feeding PINK PORPOISE a bit of dirt).  Remember:  alliances are great, 
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ARUAK CITY have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat 
it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

Persistent Beggar, eh? Well, I couldn't think of a finer opponent.  (wink) (snort)
What an utter delight it was! -- Udder Delight, Bulldogs

The Genesis -- I don't think I like you.  Did you have to clip my hair so close?
That hurt me bad, you , you, you cat! -- Purple Poodle, Bulldogs

Hoof It -- You gave it your all, but you just were not cut out for the gladiator
life.  We salute you and thank you for your short time with us. -- All Us Bulldogs

Slart -- Perhaps your boss's little braggadocio on Chatsky was stimulus?  Or,
perhaps, I have always been your better? -- A Dog's Life (and lovin' it at the
moment), Bulldogs

Maydee Quick -- Thanks for the motivation!  I think I found that right doghouse! -- A
Dog's Life, Bulldogs

A Dog's Life made it to Duelmaster?  See, there, Champ, I told you that you were
underestimating yourself.  Congratulations!  Duelmasters drink free at The Bulldog
Inn. -- Kennelworth, Proprietor

Health.  Humility.  Honor.  The great Aruak City, Heart And Soul Of Andoria, awaits
us all. -- Kennelworth, Bulldogs

Biggun?  Biggun?!  Oh my gosh!  I didn't mean to kill you, big guy!  Noooooooo!  They
say "Live by the sword,; die by the sword" and I know you did your share of life
taking, but I really, really, really did not want that.  May you fight well in that
Great Arena In The sky. -- Pink Porpoise

Khalhum's Dwarf -- Well, you put a crease in my career acceleration.  You held off
all I could give and made me feel like what I am... a Blue Bulldog

Dark Jester -- I give you credit; I challenged and threw the whole turtle shell full
at you, but you took all I could give.  Your turtle shell is better than mine.
Salute. -- Tangerine Turtle

Mino -- All us critters are glad to have you back to guide us.  We're sorry you
didn't find any great hidden treasure on your hunt, but you have some great treasures
here at home base.  Ahoy! -- The Animal Farm Critters (not so happy with their 2-2-1
in Mino's absence.)

Veteran Mercenary -- You were simply inept against a wonderful and skilled warrior
like me. -- Green With Envy, Proud Colorific

Veteran Merc -- Yeah, what Greenie said.  You are lucky to be alive. -- Silver Hair,
Proud Colorific

Greenie?!  My name is NOT Greenie, Slick Silver!  That's Mr. Green to you. -- Green
With Envy

Fenchurch -- I already knew, and now you know, who's best.  Suck it up! -- Yellow
Belly, Proud Colorific

And to you Green With Envy and Silver Hair, at least the proud and terrific Yellow
Belly fought a REAL opponent!  You guys were lucky and lazy. -- Yellow Belly, Proud
Colorific

Benjy Mouse -- Whattadaya think of me now!  Turnabout is fair play, and, finally, the
best man won. -- Red-Eye, Proud Colorific

That's what I'm talkin' about!  A 4-0!  That'll show Mino The Pirate who is boss.
The REAL boss.  And I am glad to see my motivation techniques worked on my lazy,
previously losing, warriors.  I am GOOD. -- Purple People Eater, Proud Colorific

Bedpan Bandit -- Not bad for my debut.  But next time I tell you my helmet isn't a
bedpan, don't try wrestling me for it to see if I'm telling the truth. -- Ringo Mars

Heavily Medicated -- If I can just figure out what I'm doing out there, someone's
gonna be in trouble.  Whether you'll remember any of this when the meds wear off, for
what it's worth, congrats on the win. -- Chrun'Chya

Managerr, Grand High Moose of the Brotherhood of the Blade -- Awesome team
spotlight!!! -- Noble Discord, mgr. Rapscallions (628)

Tangerine Turtle -- I hope you know you're a very aggressive turtle.  But to whoever
can ring my bell through the cookpot that is my helm, the trashcan lid that is my
shield, and the beer barrel that is my breastplate, I must give credit.  Good fight.
-- Dark Jester

Attaboy and Wrathmen -- Attaboy, Attaboy!  Sorry, I couldn't resist.  We sympathize
with a first fight kill and won't be bloodfeuding.  Well done and luck in the future.
