Lej Korranjal, the Ambitious Guard said. Again. "Were we supposed to IGNORE the monsters?" The chief of the Harbor Guards met his indignant eyes with a cold stare. "The stability of our Glorious Empire," he said, "is founded on and maintained by the principle that for each person there is a place and a proper task, and that no person shall encroach upon the place and task of another. The defense of the harbor and waterfront of Aljafir rests in the hands of the Harbor Guard. By striking at these monsters instead of calling for that Guard, you have threatened the stability of the Empire. Further, you incited a mob to violence, which is a capital crime in itself." "But we just fought MONSTERS--" Shagrath jabbed him with an elbow. "Leave it," the dwarf growled. "This is a no-win deal." To the Harbor Captain, he said, "Where are you going with this?" The man tipped his head back slightly, the better to look down his nose at the two arena standbys. "That is an impertinent question from a criminal. I am enforcing the stability of the Empire." M. Konvalh Chardinee, standing at the back of the guardroom, leaned toward his companion, Arenamaster Kharghal, and muttered, "This is a stacked deck, and you set it up. What are YOU getting at?" Kharghal shrugged. "Unless you want to join them, keep quiet and watch." It was clear that wherever this was going, the place it arrived at was not going to be a pleasant one, so the Chardinee closed his mouth. But this behavior on the part of the arenamaster was not going to inspire confidence in any of the warriors under his control. He returned his attention to the Harbor Captain, who was winding up a harangue and getting down to verdict and sentence. "So," the Captain said, "since your intentions were 'good' so far as they went, it is judged appropriate to offer you mercy. You have a choice: You may serve the Great Kjarran at the next sacrifice, or you may serve the Glorious Empire in a more extended fashion under a one-year geas to the Lord Bazidhar of Salamar. What say you, criminals?" "We'll serve this Bazidhar, of course," Shagrath said. "As you knew we would." The Chardinee glanced sideways at Kharghal. Bazidhar was one of the arenamaster's cronies; they went carousing together. Although Kharghal didn't know that Konvalh knew, and the Chardinee did not propose to tell him. The Society of Chardinee reached into many unlikely places across the length and breadth of Alastari, but that was no reason to advertise how much information flowed through their network. Shagrath put his hands on his hips and glared at Lord Bazidar. With bushy black eyebrows and a big nose, not to mention a typical dwarvish beard, the assassin did "glaring" very well. "Okay," he said, "you've got us. Now tell us what you wanted us FOR." Bazidar smiled, a slight movement of thin lips that did not make him look friendly. "I was told you would be impertinent. Not that it matters." He leaned forward and flipped open a scroll on the table that separated him from the two arena warriors. It was a map of the northern part of the Karnhorn Empire, from east of Aljafir west as far as Kurukar. "I am the Warden of what is, since the secession of Kurukar, the Western Marches. The border I defend is continually assailed by brigands and beasts and... I am not sure what. Some are natural hazards that have existed forever, such as the bears and wolves who prey on isolated farmsteads." He shrugged. "That is the Way of Things, and those who dwell on the edges of settled lands will always face them." Korranjal muttered something under his breath, which Shagrath did not ask him to repeat. It was probably inflammatory. The Guard had come from just such a border area and had said, more than once, that it wasn't "right" that predators should be left to prey on the border farmers. "The brigands...." Bazidhar frowned. "Some are wild Shews and others of that ilk, some are, I believe, refugees from Kurukar. Some are alone, and others show sign of being organized." He met the dwarf's glare with his own. "I will not have organized brigands preying on MY border. You will go among them in the character of fugitives from Aljafir, discover who leads the bands and where they are based, and then return to guide my soldiers to the attack." "What about the monsters or demons or whatever that you almost mentioned?" Shagrath asked. "That is a separate problem. One thing at a time. When I can be sure my soldiers will not be attacked by brigands, then I can decide what to do about monsters. Or whatever they might be." "You say we are to go as fugitives," Korranjal said now. "Yet your men patrol that border we have to cross, do they not? How are we to pass them?" "Very carefully. The arena resurrects those who are so inept as to get themselves killed. Be assured that I will not waste my resources in that fashion." * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 527): COPY CAT of ARENA FELINES (Garfield, mgr.)

Crowned that Cat Man Do quite well, thank you! Good ole champion Gold Filling once again rules the roost in Willaf, just as everyone expected would happen. Sometimes this whole gladiator thing is "ho hum", you know? Kinda makes one numb like Novocain. Holy drill bit, was The King (Midas) irate last turn with The Golden Gladiators first ever 0-5! He was hot! What can I say, but that some days you get the abscess, and some days the abscess gets you. Get my meaning? Hopefully he is back into the laughing gas with our 3-1 this last round, and I'm numbingly glad I did not have to stand up to the lambaste our loser got. Worse than having a tooth pulled! Hey, but it is all over but the grinding for me. I'm a Lord protector off retirement and la la land. Like a dose of Dragon. I came. I saw. I had fun. I conquered. Now I pull out the hammock and dump the false teeth into a glass of bubbly. Sayonara. Gold Filling, multiple (ho hum) Duelmaster SPY REPORT Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! What's a move up by 4 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to BLOODBANE CLAN. Now I can't insult CAT MAN DO, as he has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... So much to report, so little time! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in WILLAF avoid ARENA FELINES. The warriors of ARENA FELINES found their efforts at combat frustrated as GOLDEN GLADIATORS apparently had more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses, KINDA FINE could open up a fast food joint! Mismatched by 12 points, KINDA FINE defeated XENOPHOBIAC. Is this really worth noting? I thought XENOPHOBIAC showed great skill and promise when he was defeated by KINDA FINE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after life! Justice was served as NARCOLEPTIC fought GOLD RUSH in bloodfeud. Well done, D.S.M.V.! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in WILLAF would I avoid! Do not think spyreporting in WILLAF is the highlight of my life. As the seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid WILLAF farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FLUFFY 5060 20 4 0 123 ARENA FELINES (452) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GOLDEN ARCHES 4984 9 4 0 94 GOLDEN GLADIATORS (362) -STILCHO 3630 20 14 0 91 VIVISECTIONISTS (185) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KUROME 5342 11 11 4 88 YAMABUSHI (432) SHOCHU 4912 12 12 2 84 YAMABUSHI (432) PUNH JENTLY 5485 13 14 0 74 PUNNY AMINALS (305) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AXE EM BOUT ME! 5538 5 0 0 66 NOBLE ON FIRE (573) KUROHANA 5128 15 6 0 62 YAMABUSHI (432) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME O PUNCHA 5531 7 11 0 56 PUNNY AMINALS (305) TANOSHII 5488 10 3 0 53 YAMABUSHI (432) GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY 5491 10 1 0 53 GOLDEN GLADIATORS (362) -CAT A.

We count it as a blessing that she is out screaming on a rowboat, rather than in the middle of the night at the guildhouse. -- Midas Ah, but she might not agree about that.... -- Ed. Stilcho -- You went, and went, and went--like the Energizer Bunny. All I had in me was thirteen. Salute. -- Golden Arches DSMVers -- Mea culpa! We Golden Gladiators all apologize for the untimely arena death of Kleptomaniac at Gold Rush's hand. Even though it was a GG challenge, I can assure you we are not into that type of bloodshed.

You don't know ANY good puns. -- O Puncha Jihan -- I was going to say "ah, new blood," but it turns out to be the same old blood after all: mine. -- O. Fish Lord Protector Cat Man Do -- At least you aren't one of those beast people, the ones who call themselves Aruaki. But even so, I am instructed to say that we have no lands today. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but I believe it has something to do with taxes. Please accept my apologies and congratulations. -- Tevik Zokharj, Distributor of Lands P.S. No! I AM a Distributor of Lands, I must do it! My very identity is tied up in this. I can offer you a reserved seat here in the arena. Other people will sit on it in your absence, of course, but if you show up, they have to move. It isn't much land, about three feet square, but it is something. Lord Protector Gold Filling -- I see that you are an orc. Since it is widely known that orcs have no use for lands, will you be content simply with a reserved bar stool? Until you fall off of it, of course, at which point you will be thrown out into the alley and some true human will take over the seat. -- Tevik Zokharj, Distributor of Lands 5 October 2005 To those once of Willaf -- It's time to come back to the sands. I'm back, exclusively at Willaf.... -- Kurd the Vivisectionist, Your Better 12 October 2005 Magic Man -- You are a fellow Canadian, are you not? Where do you hail from?
