TEAM SPOTLIGHT
It was dark, dreary night and a light fog hung in the air. There was a run-down
establishment which seemed it could be a bar or a brothel such as few would visit
without being heavily armed in steel. There were holes in the walls (not by design)
from which smoke poured quite heavily at times. If one had a keen sense of smell,
that smoke brought the scent of black lotus flavor with them. Two figures could be
seen at the back of building near a sign which read "Coyote Ugly". One Figure seemed
to be in his mid forties. Not much would distinguish him as he was average in
appearance with grungy brown hair and a ruff of a beard. At a glance, he would
hardly be noticed, much less remembered. He wore a brown tunic and ripped leather
pants, which he could be seen rubbing for warmth periodically, and black leather
boots. The only thing of note about him was necklace he wore, which hung outside of
his tunic. The necklace bore a fang covered in gold and gems. It was rumored to be
thousands of years old and had been said to have some mystical enchantment during the
full moon. It certainly bore the semblance of something ancient with a aura about
it.
The second man was of small stature with sharp features. He was strikingly
handsome with jet-black hair tied ceremonially into a knot at the back of his head.
His garb was strange for this land, almost like a dress of dark green material
flowing freely about him. The man had the air of superiority about him. There was
light stubble on his face, but he hardly seemed unkempt. Though everything about the
man spoke control, and his stance was like a tiger's--ready to pounce at a moment's
notice. He had two swords tied about his waist in some foreign manner. The two
black blades looked as though they had seen a lot of battles, at least judging by
their markings. The two men seemed to be conversing about something....
"Ah...if it isn't the renowned Samurai Sam.... I was looking for you after your
bout this week in the arena." Woelfe had a somewhat sarcastic tone.
I came a little forward, wanting to get a bit closer to this strange man who
seemed sneaky in a subtle way, and also to get a good clean sweep to decapitate him
should he smart off to me again. He seemed to sense this and shifted a little in the
corner upon my entrance. Of course Samurai Sam wasn't my real name but few from this
land could pronounce my true name, Samirakiasian, so Samurai Sam had stuck, much to
my dismay, I might add.
"Then I take it you are the one they call Woelfe who runs The Bible Belters? I
thought you could afford some decent teeth. You seem to be missing some; I guess
times are tough, aye."
This seemed to catch him off guard a bit; his brow lifted and a wicked grin
creased his lips. "I was told you were coming. I keep my good teeth under lock and
key...you've seen this side of town; you would keep nuts in a chastity belt or some
bloke might try to steal them, eheheh."
Well, he was funny or he thought he was anyway. "The commission said to check
with you to see if you have a spot for me on your team. It is either you or Savage
Hearts." I hadn't heard much about Silver Stroke, who ran the Savage Hearts, but
what few whispers there were told a horrifying tale. By the expression that twisted
this man's face, he must have had a run in with Silver Stroke too and it hadn't been
pleasant. He seemed very pale all of the sudden but it could have been the light.
It was dark.
"I'm sorry, friend, I filled up my last position this week. Have you tried The
Chinese Connection? They seem to be from your homeland." I had the distinct feeling
he was trying lead me any direction but this Silver Stroke fellow. How bad could he
be?
"Aye. They have been filled recently as well, but have offered me a room and
board should I need it--as long as my gold is good, that is." My voice was a little
stern, I suppose, as Woelfe seemed to almost come out of his clothes. He almost
tripped and was definitely looking very sick.
"Well friend, seems like Silver Stroke is your only option ahh...hmmm.... I'm
sorry friend, I have to go collect my teeth...you know, a good polishing." His voice
was hurried and as he half ran, I could swear I heard him say "Good luck" and that I
would need it. Hmmm.
I saw a shadow coming over me. It was huge. I hadn't heard any foot steps and
it screamed of something unnatural. I must be swift; I might only have one chance at
this. The shadow was on top of me already. I had never seen anything move that
fast, not even my sensei.... I must clear my mind; I must be quick. Without a
single thought I spun, reaching for my katana, to make a swift strike. As I turned,
my body suddenly froze as I faced my enemy. What I saw wasn't going to add any
comfort to my last days. My heart had stopped beating and my eyes grew wide. A
huge, towering man floated above the ground, just sliding towards me with his feet
barely touching the ground. He had dark, unholy features. Strangely striking long
dark hair flowed about his shoulders with a single streak of silver running through
it almost as though it was alive. This man had solid black eyes, with no pupils,
which could pierce straight into your soul. His skin had dark bluish hue. It was
unnerving. His attire was black upon black. Everything about the man spoke of
death. Even the vultures flying in the sky seemed to be flying high above him,
following him, hoping to feed lavishly on the carnage that would assuredly mark his
trail. He wore a cloth about his mouth. Who knew what this might hide; I didn't
want to know. If I lived through this night I vowed never to drink at Woelfe's
establishment, Coyote Ugly, again. I knew this man could kill me with a single
thought; I was at his mercy...I felt my heart flutter and I said my final prayers.
Then I started to black out or maybe I did. I was sure I was on the brink of
death. I could feel sensation come back into my body and I could move again. Then I
heard a loud voice echoing in my head. It said, "I am Silver Stroke, whom ye seek.
Come with me. For those who see me, fight for me or die. I will not repeat myself."
The voice echoed in my head for what seemed to be an eternity, almost driving me mad.
It was overpowering. It was either fight for this thing or die. I had little choice
as I could feel it bending my will. Suddenly I became fond of breathing and I
figured following him was the only way to keep this tradition going, as I still liked
breathing even in this strange land. My last thought as we floated high above the
ground, passing the vultures was...if this Silver Stroke was here, who was ruling
hell! I Could hear his sick sadistic laughter booming ahead of me over and over
again....
To be continued....

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Last turn's column:
Hail Solven,
Robert Byrd here, on top of for another turn. More if I'm lucky. Maximus put up a
good fight again this turn, but to no avail. I now seek new opponents to beat on.
To bad the Master Taco clan isn't in range. His big mouth just wrote a check his
butt can't cash. Enjoy the bevy of down challenges that will come your way. I know
it's not honorable to down challenge, but Taco invited me to, and Al Gore is no fool
to pass on an easy win. When we're done with you Taco, you will be wearing the drool
buckets as your tards are beat to levels of stupidity that match your ignorant
boasting. Al Gore should have ran you tards down when he had the chance. Now onto a
more worthy expenditure of my time, challenges. My challenges this turn went to the
Lost Souls. I figured I would take a shot at them since they never fight or post
personals. I hope to match up well against the basher Blood Moon. Since Darkside
must be a lunger, he should be fun to go against. Well, since all my insults have
been said, and challenges made, I will wrap this up so I can prepare for my
forthcoming fight against the fool who steps up. I hope to be here again next turn.
At least to show up Taxes and to prove to Al Gore I'm the best one on the team. Take
care and good luck to all!
-- Robert Byrd
This turn's column:
Talk about your surprises. I am sure none of you saw this coming, least of all
me. There I was, waiting for my weekly dance lesson that Kellumbo sets up for me,
when I am told it is time. So I wander out onto the big dance floor, when my partner
starts stepping on my foot, right hard!
"Hey!" I shout out, "stay off of the toes, you clutz." Well, he must have
gotten the hint, so he went and patted me on the back as if to say, "No problem there
you cute little blind girl, I'll try harder."
So, our dance continued, when there must have been this swarm of bugs or
something flew through the dance hall, because my partner kept swatting them off of
me (such a nice guy). A little pat here, a small smack there (must have been a big
one!), and once I think he even picked up a stick to knock one off! I must admit, I
really admired the gentle way he helped me out.
So we danced some more, when he started to tire out, and kept falling into me,
almost like he wanted me to hold him up, which I did for a few minutes till he fell
asleep. Ah well, short dance last week. Best of all, he even gave me his number
after the dance. Now, I've got his number!
Kellumbo promised me that this week my partner will be able to last even longer.
She said I am dancing with either Schwarzenegger or Justice, so we'll see. Not quite
sure why Kellumbo has me in this metal dance outfit, but she said I look good in it,
so what the heck. Hope it is a good week for all of you. If you want to dance with
a cute little blind girl, just let me know. -- Blind Girl
SPY REPORT
Welcome SOLVEN. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Phhbltt! Too much drinking
and too little dodging gave JUST CHILLIN a 0-5-0! I got a good laugh out of it! Ya
gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the
pain! CHINESE CONNECTION is now ranked 8th with a 3-2-0 turn. Some people say I
ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well
CONSPIRACY INC. moved up 1, to 5th. What's with ROBERT BYRD? He actually beat THE
ZOO's KANGAROO KATE, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight. Major
screwup at THE ZOO. KANGAROO KATE lost 16 points to ROBERT BYRD. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe KANGAROO KATE will provide more easy wins... Another
fighter (BLOOD MOON 10-5-2) challenged another Duelmaster (BLIND GIRL 16-4-0). Life
goes on. I'm sure SOLVEN is excited about BLOOD MOON, the new Duelmaster from LOST
SOULS 1. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... I suppose you want
to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. SOLVEN thinks CONSPIRACY
INC. and their 133-94-8 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up...
Management must be dealin', as the boys at JUST CHILLIN ain't reelin'! CONSPIRACY
INC.'s mad! What do people see in FLAT TAX? His 12-16-0? THE REPUBLICANS ain't
talkin', but he's got 58 points. Keep challenging up 49 points, MAXIMUS, and I won't
have to write about you much longer. GARY CONDIT always accepts those kind of
challenges... MAXIMUS did pretty good last week in beating GARY CONDIT to get 21
points. Why did GARY CONDIT lose, you ask? Simple: he wasn't good enough. FLAT
TAX didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from NO HURRY of JUST
CHILLIN, who is 25 points below him. NO HURRY perhaps got his just desserts, seeing
as he was subdued by FLAT TAX and ended up with 24 recognition points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? SAVAGE DRAGON larned hers lesson (THE TOAD taught it well),
and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any THE POISON CLAN members with the
same gusto. Someone told EASY BREEZE that CONSPIRACY INC. never Bloodfeuded, that
he'd have an easy kill. Well, I'm sure whoever misled you is right sorry. Here's
some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. All work
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Kellumbozo -- No, Marijuana Initiative didn't have much potential, I just think
you're a sackless punk. -- The Sentinel
P.S. You need to get out more if you are counting up how many lines of personal ads
you got from an 0-8 team.
Ilsa -- That was an absolutely fantastic fight. One of the best low-level fights my
manager has seen in a while (except for that part where I lost). I'm really sorry I
missed this last turn because I wanted another go to see if you were actually that
good or just lucky. Even with you having double my fights, my money is on lucky. --
D.O.A. Dominance
P.S. Don't let there ever be any confusion on whether a tourney is more important
than your guano cabeza manager. No contest.
From last turn's spy report: "Taunt your opponent KUJOE! That was my lucky charm
when I was unfairly challenged. (and by 29 points!) ILSA SHE-WOLF should have an
easy win. ILSA SHE-WOLF bested KUJOE. I bet ILSA SHE-WOLF could beat two-year-olds,
too." See my mention above of what a sackless punk Kellumbozo is. -- The Sentinel,
who is too lazy to check all of Kelly's fights, but is laying odds that there's at
least one other challenge of the same caliber (or will be this turn)
Kelly -- I've never understood why someone would rather be a piece of dung like you
have chosen to be than compete in a way that makes your opponent want to shake your
hand at the end of the day. Prove something to yourself someday and win an even
fight. Loser. -- The Sentinel
Kellumboner -- Should be 21 lines this time if I calculate the newsletter column size
correctly. -- The Sentinel
Al Gore -- Thanks, I think I will. However, I just came here with a warrior or two
to run off and on and I'm not sure if I want to start DAing to build a team. -- The
Sentinel
Keddumbo -- OK, I've gotten some bile out of my system, so I think the best thing for
me to do is to stop feeding your bad guy ego by giving you 21 lines of personals.
It's good to see you taking things lightly, unlike most of your ilk. I still have no
respect for you and know everything I need to about you based on how you challenge.
I'll fight here every once in a while and throw you a challenge or two occasionally
when I do. Keep playing your game and realize that you are a joke in everyone's
eyes. -- The Sentinel (up to 28 lines now!)
The Snake -- Well it seems you couldn't slither your way out of that one. Well I
can't say I'm sorry, for truth be told, I would do it again. My only regret is that
you died far too quickly, robbing me of incisive pleasure of tearing you limb from
limb...slowly and methodically savoring each moment (licking lips). After all, my
name isn't Pansy Dragon. ;) As much smack as your manger had talked I would have
thought you would have jumped up from death to do battle again. Then I could have
killed you again...and again...and again...oh well, you get the picture. :) -- Savage
Dragon
Weolfe -- Lol...is that tame enough for you? You paw footed cretin who lacks the
ability to put more than two vowels or two words together at a time. -- Savage Dragon
Weolfe -- You had to go and tick off the dragon lol...now she is on a killing spree.
-- Silver Stroke mgr. Savage Hearts
Centipede -- You seem to be my plight in life. Don't come to California. --
Terminator
Toad -- I go to die to make way for a better warrior; may he kill you. -- Alien
Iron Monkey -- 'Twas a honorable fight.... (bows deeply) I'm sure we will have the
honor of meeting again. -- Samurai Sam
She-Wolf -- Lol...the only way you could down challenge me further is if I was in the
dead column...lol. -- Kujoe (soon to be departed)
DK -- Reach down and squeeze; I was wondering if you had any. :) No really, you
should check, heheh. -- Silver Stroke
All -- We have come from a far off land. Since we now reside here we decided to make
the best of it and prove our strength at arms. One and all are welcome in our house
should you need healing or aliments. We must call this strange new land home. (bows
deeply) May the sands be drenched in blood, for it is good for business. Let the
carnage begin. -- Wong Fei Hung', mgr. Chinese Connection
All -- Notice where he put the emphasis on his name, don't you (blush).... Sheesh,
men and their egos, even if it is warranted. -- Ling'
Zooie -- It was a close battle. Had I gotten you one more time with the pig sticker,
you would have sung a different tune. -- Ling'
Samurai Sam -- I think you are my distant cousin. You have learned well the ancient
ways (bowing humbly). -- Iron Monkey
Snake Charmer -- 'Tis a strange tactic, using ones' head to deflect blows. Does this
style take long to develop? You should be called Iron Head. -- Lia'
All -- Where is my dumpling? Someone stole my dumpling! -- Ping' Lee
Master Tazo -- (bows) It is good to see a friend from home. What is your martial
style these days, friend? Since it has been a long time since I was home. -- Master
Wong Fei Hung'
All -- (eating dumpling).....cough...cough.... What dumpling? (grin) -- Chung' Fow
Hannah -- Wow, what can I say. That was a great fight. I salute you. Let's do it
again. -- The Lizard
Hannah -- I'm not warrior material? Just because you got in a lucky shot before I
was ready doesn't mean I can't fight. Why just last fight I smacked around some guy
with a metal endoskeleton, covered with living human tissue. I'm so good The Master
said I might get to go to a "Special Night Fighting" class. -- The Centipede
Terminator -- You want another piece of me? Huh? -- The Centipede
Al Gore -- Come after me? Why would you come after me? -- Master Tazo, Mgr. The
Poison Clan
Hannah -- Wow, what can I say. That was a great fight. I salute your skill with a
blade. Let's do it again. -- The Lizard
Savage Hearts 2 -- You have killed our beloved son The Snake. For this gross
transgression, we raise the Black Flag. For the next four turns our battle cry will
be, No Quarter! Nothing short of your deaths will satisfy our vengeance (or four
turns, whichever comes first). -- Master Tazo, Mgr. The Poison Clan
Killumbo -- Seriously, It's Tazo, with a "Z". Not Taco. I know it's hard for you to
think about something besides food, but give it a try, ok? Oh and that will be
$5.65, what kind of sauce you want, Hot, Mild or Fire? -- Master Tazo
Master Tazo -- If possible, keeping sending your ads the way you did with your
second lot. They were plain text, where as the first batch took up about three-
quarters of a page per ad when I got it because of all the HTML and style stuff.
Thanks! -- Ed., beginning another round of "plain text please" nagging
P.S. It's not just for my benefit; your ads are much more likely to get messed
up if I'm trying to pick them out of a bunch of other, non-essential stuff.
Kalamazoo -- I hope your date went well and that you got all of my blood washed out
of your hair. -- No Hurry
Al -- Please do not call me a Republican. If you don't want me to hit your woman
send her out on the campaign trail instead of challenging me. -- What Up with that?
Conspiracy Inc. -- Sorry about your man Rush; I think he was going through withdrawal
or something. I tried not to kill him but I think he had a death wish and he just
kept on coming at me. I'm really not the violent type. -- Easy Breeze
See the above ad to Master Tazo. Your stuff is also coming through in HTML,
though not quite to the same extent. Still, if you've any way to set your
mailer to "plain text", I'd be one grateful... -- Ed.
Platinum -- How's that old song go again....Twistin', twistin', everybody was
twistin' parries.... Yeah, something like that. You are the best. I hope you never
die or graduate. You never beat Kellumbo's Kids, and almost always beat Judge's
boys. It's almost like you are a plant in the arena! -- Skeemer
Again, see my above ads, etc., etc. -- Ed.
Kujoe -- Sorry about the lousy challenge. I was really expecting to get bloodfeuded
again, so I just tossed a few names into the wish to fight box, hoping to get lucky.
Again, sorry. I know it is so uncommon for Kellumbo's Kids to downchallenge. It
will never happen again. -- Ilsa
Kangaroo Kate -- Foul! I cry Foul! You must have a poison tipped blade to take me
out so quickly. Where is that darn Master Tazo to make excuses when you need him? --
Maximus
Lia Kian -- Well done. You had me a bit worried. I have a feeling you are going to
do very well in this arena. Unfortunately, you are not a snake either. -- Snake
Charmer
Robert Byrd -- Well, well, well. Who has whose number now? -- DK
Women of Reality -- I never said I got to 6-0 by being fair. What, do you go to the
same logic school as Judge? Sheesh. -- Kellumbo
Mr. Freeze -- If you keep winning like this, we may have to...put you on ice...get
it? Put you on ice...Mr. Freeze...bwahahahaaa..... Dang. Funny and good looking
too (me, not you). -- DK
Silver Stroke -- Apples? They are ok. Now roasted snake, that's where it is at! --
Snake Charmer
Master Taco -- Dang it, boy! I said 6 tacos and a chalupa, not the other way around!
Good help is so hard to find. Ok, Ok, I know this whole Master "Taco" thing has got
to be killing you. If you ask me to stop, pretty please, I'll never utter Master
Taco again. It'll be nothing but Master Tazo, just like you wanted. What do you
say? -- Detective Kellumbo
Just Chillin -- Welcome to Solven! -- Woelfe, Bible Belters
Silver Stroke -- It seems the commission is not opposed to large pale stalkers with a
thirst for blood either. You're a long way from home, bub. <grin> As for playing,
I think we may pass where the Dragon is concerned. It appears I spoke too quickly of
him being passive. -- Woelfe
DK -- It was nothing, honestly...absolutely nothing at all. <grin> -- Rufus
The Lizard -- Our grudge has been satisfied. I don't know if I would call it
"viciously subdued", but I came out of it walking and that is good enough.
Scorpion -- I expected a bit more sting from you. -- Gideon
All -- All that training, the sweating and long hours honing my craft and who do I
get matched up against? A scribe. A SCRIBE!! And a trustworthy one at that.
<sigh> So much for the quill being mightier than the sword. -- Josiah
Kalamazoo -- What exactly is a Kalamazoo? I've always wondered. -- Rufus
It sounds like a congested pickle. Or am I thinking of something else....
*grin* -- Ed.
Detective -- I'm not going to let Choco Taco get away with it. Robert's column
didn't make the print; that would have clarified our position. -- Al Gore
Thawk -- Quit forgetting! You not that old. -- Al Gore
Woelfe -- Love??? Bite me! Ha ha! -- Al Gore
Turkey Joe -- Well lucky you, I'm graduating. Too bad Al Gore is retiring me. -- G.
Condit
Justice -- Good match up for you. -- Al Gore
Chung'Fow -- Wow! Close one there. -- Al Gore
Blind Girl -- I want a rematch before I graduate! Good fight though. -- Robert Byrd
What Up -- An easy win for you, that is what's up. -- Al Gore
All -- Another Wall of Steel graduates, another Broadsword favorite. I am sorry that
Justice never made Duelmaster, but he had a good run here in Solven. Just ask Bear
Market. -- Judge, manager of The Republicans
Gary Condit -- I get so tired of losing to you. Leeta says it's my fault, that I
should fight better, but if she won't make me strategy changes, how can I? Life is
hard, and I've got the hardest end of it, I'm sure. -- Turkey Joe, not THAT confused,
whatever the reporter says
Ling' Lon -- You slant-eyed foreign devil! Take that! -- Zooie
Cheney -- Do you do monsters? You know, the Hunchback and like that? I'd love to
see you do that one. -- Gireffy
Maximus -- I was NOT trying to bury you in the sand. Why can't these announcers
ever get it right? I tripped over a dropped initiative and accidentally kicked some
sand over your boot, is all. -- Kangaroo Kate
P.S. Besides, to be buried in the sand, you'd have to fall down first. I wouldn't
try to bury somebody standing up. I'm not crazy!
Rufus -- Amazing the way you suck up the skills. -- Kalamazoo
Silver Stroke -- Yes, I know. I run Traders of Trocar in 54, but my manager name
there is Nick. -- the player behind The Zoo
The Toad -- I told Gireffy you weren't fat, and he laughed at me. -- Zooie
28 January 2004
All -- I send out this invitation to all teams and managers. A new Alliance has been
formed. The Living Essences Alliance is being formed to join forces in an effort to
eliminate common foes and to help the joined warriors grow and learn to the best of
their abilities by offering suggestions and advice. It doesn't matter what arena
you're in, or if you're in another alliance already, as of today. This Alliance is
open to one and all! If you are interested in joining, please DIPLO me, or send a
personal ad to DM 93's newsletter. If you wish to join beyond March 2004, send a PA
to DM 82. Come join the fun! -- Dagan LifeGiver, mgr. Shadow Warriors (DM 93)
28 January 2004
This notice is to formally introduce our young alliance, CHAOS INC. We consist of
APEX, FLAGG, MATRIX, ASSAMITE, and now RUDE BUDDHA. If we aren't already there, we
WILL be coming to an arena near you soon! Hope to see you all at the ZALCON II.
