TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"It's infamous!" Ardane, spy reporter for Andorak, scowled and drew back his
arm to throw his goblet through the window at the crowd outside. Then paused to
drain the contents before resuming the about-to-throw-it position.
"Now, now, it isn't THAT bad." Desiree of Darkholm, always the voice of sweet
reason at these meetings, laid a hand on his, smiled, and guided the goblet back to
the table. "It's just a little mistake, you know."
"Ha!" Debby Tonte of Free Blades stabbed viciously into her drink with an
umbrella. "That's easy for YOU to say. The Delarquans aren't complaining."
"Of course not." Galen of Talahya looked faintly envious as she pulled a chunk
of pineapple out of her glass and began to nibble it. "That's because the Delarquans
are THE Masters of Kung-Fu."
"You think some managers are complaining," Olaf Modeen said, "you should hear
what the GLADIATORS are saying. All these rumors about the Aimed Blows having
'special enhancements'..." he shook his head. "I know it isn't true, you know it
isn't true, the top managers know it isn't true--"
"Of course it isn't true!" Ketchum, spy reporter for Crysalis, matched scowls
with Ardane and said, "If ANY one style was going to get a special enhancement, it
should be--"
"Not now, Ketch," Olaf said. "Nobody gets, nobody has gotten, nobody WILL get,
special enhancements. That's always been the rule, and we all know how the Greywand
hates changes. The real problem--"
"Try telling that to some of the managers," Debby muttered, peering into her
glass for more fruit. "They don't want to hear it. Every time I turn around, some
manager is claiming that someone got a special change and, you know, HE didn't and
it's all unfair."
"The REAL problem," Olaf said firmly, over-riding her voice, "is explaining to
all the second-rate Aimed Blows why they haven't received any of these 'special
enhancements' they keep hearing about."
"There aren't any special enhancements," Ardane growled. "None. Just managers
who noticed that the Kung-Fu Master is a lot more dangerous than anyone expected, and
have put YEARS into the study of Kung-Fu and learned how to really USE it for their
own gladiators."
"Saved a lot on weapons, too," Ketchum murmured.
"But people keep complaining," Debby Tonte said. She fished one last piece of
fruit out of her glass and stared at it dubiously.
"There WERE no special enhancements," Olaf said. "There ARE no special
enhancements. There WILL BE no special enhancements. It's all a matter of deep
study and skilled management."
"Like anyone's going to believe that!"
"They have no choice," Ketchum said. "If no 'special enhancements' were given
out, then none can be taken back. It is the way it is. What's the point in
complaining because the sun rises in the east?"
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I wouldn't have sent you to Ahringol, Homunculus. Assuming he even takes
golems, which they tell me you HAVE to be even if the Commission doesn't believe it.
But I hear that Ahringol doesn't keep much of a table, and I know you don't want to
give up the "good eats."
Patterson Pine
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out MALCORN to see
what's new. What was the name of that team who got 4-1-1 this turn for a total
59-61-8 you ask? (Sure) BLOODSWORN's their name, and fighting's their game! MVP
award for AZAZEL? DARK CREATION's proud of him after beating VETERAN MERCENARY and
getting 16 points. And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)
Oh well, welcome STRADA. Aren't STARBASE 5 proud. (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster
really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? Like, is JESSALIN popular, or what? She was
challenged the most in all of MALCORN! She's got a 20-23-0, is that good? People
were asking me did HOMUNCULUS REALLY challenge JESSALIN? (all right, maybe they
didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but
JESSALIN wants me to write about it since she lost to HOMUNCULUS. Satisfied?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All MALCORN ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Like, who is this gal??? REVANENT gets sent to the Dark
Arena, battles WURM KIN, and returns to tell of it!!! I bet BLOODSWORN manager is
surprised! What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job,
that's what!!!
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. MALCORN is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Avishra -- Cool name, but it would go better, I think, on a woman. That could just
be my built-in naming bias, though. -- Wind Rider
P.S. Glad you didn't kill me!
Somnambulant -- Wake up! Pay attention! You neither teach nor learn when you
sleepwalk through the fight. -- Jessalin
Silvamere -- Drat. You small Shews are especially tough. You must be concentrated
or something. -- Mossrock
Wendigo -- Well, of COURSE I didn't beg for mercy! A perfect ass I'd have looked,
begging for mercy when you didn't have any! What nonsense. -- Redbird
Zeus -- Isn't it amazing? I didn't change their strategies at all. It must be the
fear of death, which they've seen a lot of lately. -- Jorja
Our congratulations to Revanent. -- the Greenwardens
Azazel -- Ha ha. -- Timaran Dubrik, Ambitious Guard
