Hot Rod stared at his teammates in dismay and tried to grab the doorframe as
they pushed him out into the dark and stormy night. "Listen, I never said we'd run a
carriage race in the dark! And...the rain will make the streets slippery. And then
there's the lightning, no telling what danger that might impose! This is madness,
yes, madness!"
"Ben Hur would have raced on a stormy night," Times stated. "And he wouldn't
have minded the slickness, easier to do the corners on one wheel that way."
"You need to work on your Instrument Rating, anyway," Flight Journal added.
"This is a perfect time."
"It's madness!" Hot Rod shouted as his teammates forced him into the carriage
shed. He saw that his horse was already harnessed, and it was prancing in place.
No, wait, his horse was not black and huge, and it did NOT have flaming red eyes!
And neither did the hostler-- "What's going on?" he demanded. "Who is--"
"It's time for you to earn your existence, mortal fool," Blood Sports said. He
brought the carriage to a halt beside Hot Rod and tossed him into the seat with one
hand. "Drive," he said.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
So impetuous, Ved Buens Ende! One thing maturity will teach you is not to rush
upon events. Allow them to come to you in their own time...or not to come, as the
circumstances work out. There is no hurry.
Modern Maturity
SPY REPORT
Hail ZUWAYZA! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as FUNKY FOLK is pushed out of
top team by JAGUAR WARRIORS, who came from 2nd with a 3-2-1 this turn. And let's
see, HEDED HAG fought SEA DAR and gained 32 points and contributed to JAGUAR
WARRIORS' 3-2-1. BRYAN has lost to HIDEKI HAO, falling 10 points, while helping make
VALAMOND'S CREW a 0-1-0 turn. DEO VOLENTE challenged for the Duelmastership this
turn, attempting to dethrone THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS' warrior. The attempts to dethrone
the Duelmaster have failed, and MODERN MATURITY remains ZUWAYZA's top warrior for
another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources
that The Drunken Ox uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the FUNKY FOLK stable was
the most avoided team this turn. Come on ZUWAYZA, what are you afraid of? And
avoiding FUNKY FOLK more than any other team we find JAGUAR WARRIORS. ZUWAYZA, are
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice
that BRYAN from VALAMOND'S CREW was ZUWAYZA's most challenged warrior this turn.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Hearty mugs of ale were raised in ZUWAYZA today as SEA DAR was bid farewell
to a 12-7-0 warrior, with HEDED HAG of JAGUAR WARRIORS standing silent and pensive.
We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know
who you are; and it's considered rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. 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

PERSONAL ADS
Modern Maturity -- You're not cooperating! My sixth kill isn't gonna happen by
accident. You have to be careless. Next time we fight, drop your weapon. -- Ved
Buens Ende
Valamond -- Blessed be my Lord Kjarran for granting me my first kill. How truly
honored you must be to have Helena fall to a Servant of Kjarran. -- Deo Volente
Sports Ill -- I hate losing a good teacher, but I can't let Ved get all the kills on
this team. Somebody's gotta challenge him. -- Heded Hag
Cary On -- You are very good. We'll fight again. -- Hidehi Hao
Gene Pool -- I'm never gonna beat you, am I? <sob> -- Matarse Fury
Heded Hag -- Gods, you're...you're one of those Anti-Sports types! Probably a COUCH
POTATO. I hate you. I will curse you as soon as I think of something good. -- Ghost

Bryan -- Listen, dude, I wasn't proposing a demolition derby! -- Hot Rod
Flaming Finger of Karnage strikes at the free press! Read all about it! -- Times
P.S. Ouch. That was seriously painful, which they tell me means that YOU were doing
something right. Ouch.
Red Lake -- I just buzzed the place to see if there were any fish biting. You tried,
I'll give you that. -- Flight Journal
Ved Buens Ende -- Well, drat. (stronger expletives get BEEPED somewhere in route,
dammit) Did you tell that HAG to use a deadlier weapon? -- Ghost of Sports
Illustrated
Hideki Hao -- Uh...nobody said thinking was part of my job. (sound of papers being
shuffled) It isn't in the contract. -- Hot Rod
P.S. But if you did, I wince but am glad for you, dammit.
11 August 2006
All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights! If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light! We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
DM 31, Attn: Timothias)! Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down
"Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of
Light
