Revisited
As you may recall, Arenamaster Harkon of Aradi, fleeing the chaos of TOGS, has come
to visit his good friend Arenamaster Vashku of Tobir, bringing the fight against the
Clishay Gang and other Bad Things to this fair town.
The door to the arenamaster's apartment, which was over the arena offices, burst
open, and a particularly wild-looking Black Orc was framed therein. "The Clishay
Paladin is here!"
Arenamaster Vashku aimed his glowing red eyes (he had drunk a lot of wine in the
past hour, which had this affect on him) at the orc. "It is customary to knock," he
said, his diction precise.
Jorge Black Orc, who had been glared at by arenamasters before, shrugged that
off. "Not when there's a White Knight ravaging the town!"
"White Knights." It was clear from his tone that had this not been his own
apartment and his own carpet, Vashku would have spat on the floor. "Paladins. This
is your doing, Harkon!"
The Aradian, whose eyes were also red (but not glowing), shrugged. "Not really.
They were already here, they just weren't noticeable till I entered the town with the
magical device of seeing-things-as-they-really-are." He reached into a pocket and
pulled out a battered magnifying glass, legacy of the deceased detectress Nancy Drew.
"In the presence of this, all truths may be revealed."
Vashku recoiled. "That is an evil thing and should be destroyed immediately,
although immediately is already too late."
"I wasn't going to aim it at YOU," Harkon said. "That would be...." He
shuddered. "I won't do it. So you don't need to worry."
"I wasn't worried," Vashku said, snarling. "What I said was--"
"Could you guys have this argument later?" the Black Orc asked. "Right now,
there's the White Knight to deal with."
"White Knights are the Good Guys." Marianne, the Virginal Concubine of Tobir,
emerged from an inner room, startling Harkon, who nearly dropped his wine cup. "Why
are you going after a Good Guy?"
"There are hidden currents here," Jorge Black Orc said.
"The White Knight is a Clishay," Harkon added. "No Clishay is ever truly good,
however he, she, or it may appear at first glance."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, this has been a long time coming. Boss has always told me I would be the first
warrior to achieve Duelmaster after his hiatus from the arena life. I'm just glad to
be able to deliver the goods.
Sippycup Sam, I must say job well done. I didn't expect my challenge to go through,
but with your efforts I was able to achieve the boss' goals. Thanks for your
duplicity in the matter. I don't know if I will give you the shot back or your team
mate Binkie. I'll just leave my challenges open and let the cards play out like they
are supposed to. I believe the next three turns will be a dandy good time.
Seraphim, the boss is expecting you to get your warriors up in the rankings soon so
the throne can stay in AP's hands. I'll do what I can to make sure the plans go
through.
Tobir, your Duelmaster bids you a good day.
Mitochondriac, JGW's first waste to hit the big time.
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
TOBIR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, PLAYPEN, since THE DEATH
SQUAD took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Gee, I'm impressed, a
4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, BIO WARFARE, the Fates teach humility, and the
Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see GOLGI APPARATUS win
a fight and gain 17 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, BURNT OUT HIPPIE beat E COLI and E
COLI lost 7 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life,
TOBIR may be getting bland, as MITOCHONDRIAC stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks
and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their
fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. THE
DEATH SQUAD, 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 BIO WARFARE. Ha ha ha ha!
ANDILLIA was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to CYTOPLASMIC of
BIO WARFARE for challenging up by 25 to LITTLE DEVIL. CYTOPLASMIC won to get 90
points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for TOBIR's
morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the TOBIR arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

Shelprock -- Very nice. I didn't expect you in that affair. Thank you for the
learns and you'll see me after some tweaking. -- E Coli
Maginot Line -- Wow, that was a great fight. It convinced the boss to keep me around
a few more turns. I never knew I could use my weapon that effectively. --
Endoplasmic, who's noticed the Gladiatorial Commission misspelled my name a long long
time ago
Kat -- Guess that was a even turn for the both of us. I look forward for the next
few rounds. -- JGW
Binkie -- Get back to your playpen and pick on your brother. Does your mother know
you are playing with sharp objects? -- Golgi Apparatus
Little Devil -- Maybe you should play with Civilized Criminal. Definitely not a
dangerous NPC. -- Cytoplasmic
Seraphim -- Hey! It's me! -- JGW, running Bio Warfare
Little Devil -- You may think that Arenamaster Vashku is on your side, but when it
comes to the crunch, well, demons aren't on ANYBODY's side. -- Andillia
Italian Stallion -- Am I supposed to be impressed? -- White Fang
Burnt Out Hippie -- I've seen a lot of those, and they're boring. No brain left,
reflexes shot to where they can't throw a frisbee, just pathetic. -- Gerbent
Tantrum -- That's better! -- Woofer
Pamper Packer -- That means you pack 'em, right? And somebody else does the
pampering. Well, somebody can come pamper me any time now. -- Chichi-Hooey
Playpen -- No, it was just a vacation. Honest! -- The Doghouse
P.S. Well, sort of a vacation.
Kat (Playpen) -- I am always the more dangerous of us. -- Marianne, the Virginal

All -- I've seen what's on the forum. So I'm prey, am I, Max. You and all your
devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay. I don't have to
explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on. Feel free to come over
to 31 for a thrashing. Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance. They tend to
share my sentiments about the VC. If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at
liberty to talk for them. The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm

The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are off to a grand start! With seventeen teams
declared, running under eight different flags (not to mention six additional non-
Olympic teams present), it is looking to be as tough as any previous Olympiad, if not
more! Olympians petitioned the Commission to make an allowance for late entries, and
the Commission agreed, and will allow new entrants to partake, as long as they are
active by Round 3 (T546, due May 29th). So if you wish to enter, please email your
intentions to amicitia@gwi.net with team name, manager name, and affiliation
(alliance name or independent), or show up in Mordant (DM-1) on, or before, May 29th
and place your declarations in the newsletter!
