TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Seam:
Tonga, a Lord Protector who had graduated here, stood on the top level of the
arena and looked out over the small city. The past year or two had not been kind to
Seam. Buildings still stood between the center of the city and the river, but the
other half of the town was in ruins. "It wouldn't look any worse if there'd been a
war here," he muttered to his teammate, Nathaniel G.
"If there'd been a war, there would be more bodies," Nathaniel argued. Anything
else he might have said was drowned out by rumbling deep in the earth.
The geyser that had broken out a few months ago burst into the air, bringing
sulfur-scented steam. It rose in the center of the devastated area, shooting higher
than the arena walls before a wind from the west seized the top of the plume and blew
scalding mist to the east. The circle of abandoned buildings marked the distance
that any normal wind was likely to blow the deadly steam. Although some of the
destruction in the center had resulted from the blast that released the geyser, and
from the occasional earth-shocks afterward, most of it was due to vandalism and
looting.
Some of the vandals, Tonga noted sadly, were gladiators whose teams hadn't found
new homes after the arena closed. He could understand their anger and despair, but
wished they'd found a more constructive outlet. Others were relicts of the civil war
who, for one reason or another, had nowhere else to go.
"Point's in worse shape," Nathaniel said when the geyser finally subsided.
"Wiped out by..." he hesitated, not wanting to attribute the destruction of Point to
ghosts.
"Ghosts," Tonga said. "Might as well admit it. Everyone says it was ghosts out
of Krael that wiped out Point and hit Iaye, too." He glanced sideways at his
companion. "When you were out toward Point, did you swing down to Ti? We haven't
heard a word from there in, I dunno, weeks, months?"
Zorpunt:
Karanjal walked into the Krill Cavalry guildhouse and flopped into a chair. He
wasn't sure now what he had expected life to be like once he became a Lord Protector,
but he knew he hadn't expected to end up as a courier riding all over the Clanhold.
He accepted a mug of cold cider from his teammate, Flitter McGee, and drank deeply.
Flitter waited impatiently, and when Karanjal didn't seem likely to stop
drinking, he said, "Well?"
"No, not well," Karanjal growled.
"You went to Ti," Flitter prompted, when no further comment was forthcoming.
"There isn't any Ti. Empty beach. Not even ruins."
"Some kind of wave, like took out Point?" Flitter guessed.
"You're not listening!" Karanjal slammed his mug onto the long refectory table
in sudden irritation. "There is no Ti. It's like there never was a Ti. With Point,
there are ruins. With Ti, nothing. I searched the coast for three miles each way--
What a joke, each way from what? I couldn't even be sure exactly which part of the
coast used to have the town on it!" He was silent for a moment. "There's a cliff at
the water's edge," he said finally, "some kind of purplish rock with fossils in it.
Like nothing I've seen anywhere before. I'm guessing that's where Ti used to be,
that somehow the town got swapped for a piece of some other coast somewhere...."
"But that's impossible!"
"Unlikely, maybe, but what other explanation is there?"
"Okay, okay...." Flitter frowned. "Okay, really big magic could maybe do it,
but really big magic is impossible right now, because of the Chaos contamination and
the Arcanum failing and all."
Karanjal shrugged. "I don't have to come up with answers, thank all gods! I
just go and gather facts. Someone else can figure out what's going on." He heaved
himself up reluctantly. "I suppose I'd better write out a report."
At an unknown location:
Belana listened to the sliding rocks, but she kept her eyes moving. Just
because she could hear someone coming from one direction, that didn't mean there
wasn't somebody coming from some other direction, too. The man who emerged from the
trees was dark enough to be Delarquan, but if this was the wrong side of some Gate,
that didn't mean anything. She supposed she should be glad it was human. Or at
least looked human. Her gaze flicked to the man and then along the edge of the
trees, back to the man and along the trees on the other side. He looked like
Gelleran. Not exactly, but very nearly like Gelleran. Maybe he was trapped on this
side of the Gate, too.
Or maybe this was somebody or some THING else that was mimicking Gelleran's
appearance to put her off guard. There was a lot of deceit in the world--in ANY
world, after all.
The man came down the last of the slope in a half-run that made enough noise to
cover anyone else who might be moving in the woods. "Belana! My seer said you would
be here--I'm so glad you're not badly hurt!" He came up against the low wall that
marked that side of her floor, hitting it with a jolt that would knock the breath out
of anyone. He grinned at her, panting.
If this wasn't Gelleran, the illusion was beyond her ability to penetrate, and
she couldn't refuse help just because she didn't trust this world. Belana put down
her rock and stood. "I'm glad to see a familiar face," she admitted. "But where are
we?"
"On Kordos, of course!" He recovered his breath and came around the wall,
obviously intending to take her into his arms.
Belana shied back. She knew he liked her, but they hadn't been on hugging
terms, that she recalled. But at least they must be still in the Ghean world, still
on Alastari, even. She grabbed for the first neutral topic that came to mind.
"Kordos...that's your island, isn't it? Near Valamantis--"
"It is my island, yes, of course," he said, lowering his arms and looking
disturbed. "And yours, too, I hope. As my betrothed and soon-to-be wife and queen,
I hope you will come to regard Kordos as your home just as it is mine. But...I do
not know of this Valamantis you speak of."

Not in Zuwayza:
A deep drumming sound echoed through the house.
"That will be the Sultan's men--or the Temple Guards, even!--at the door," the
merchant muttered. "I dare not refuse them entry."
The merchant hurried away, and Tankesh dismissed the man from his mind. The way
his head ached, he didn't figure on wasting his efforts on peripheral puzzles. The
important thing was to get on his feet without falling down. He braced one hand
against the wall and pushed himself upward. After a moment, the room stopped
wobbling around. He took a careful step toward the small table that held his sword,
picked it up, and slung the belt around himself. Headache or no, he could fight if
he had to, and just having the sword at hand gave him confidence. He looked around
the room.
The doctor was tidying away all sign that someone had been here, straightening
the cover on the divan, scooping up a small cup and spoon, a bit of bloodstained
cloth, anything that might be out of place, and gathering it all into a small bundle
which he shoved into his doctor's bag. Not speaking, the man gestured for Tankesh to
follow him and darted out a door that had been concealed by a hanging curtain.
No, Tankesh corrected himself as he scrambled to keep up with the man, not
concealed. It didn't seem to be anything like a secret door, and the curtain was
probably merely to stop drafts. Well, whatever. He didn't suppose that mattered.
He would probably never see these people or this place again.
The doctor led him down a long hall; some of the doorways opening off it had
curtains for closure and others had real doors of wood. Even in what Tankesh guessed
was a service hallway, the doors were all surrounded by tiles painted with bright-
colored floral patterns, and the floor, also of tile, had a long strip of striped
carpet down it. The door at the far end was locked and bolted, but the doctor had a
key and let them out into an alley.
A blank-faced building on the side made a narrow path of black shadow, but for
the rest, the sun turned the alley into an oven. The doctor didn't pause but led him
onward at a brisk trot, around a corner, and in through another door, across a small
courtyard, into a dusty hallway, out another door, and on and on through a maze of
buildings and alleys. Tankesh wondered what kind of practice the man had that he
knew this maze so well. They saw few people in their rapid passage, all of them
heavily cloaked and moving away.
They ended up in another small courtyard, this one dominated by a spreading
cypress tree and a tiled pool of water with a fountain splashing gently into it.
"I will leave you here," the doctor said quickly. "The sage may be able to help
you return to your own world. Fare you well, Traveler, and may the Goddess smile
upon your going out and your returning." Before Tankesh could respond, he vanished
back through the gateway.
"So you are a Traveler, eh?" The voice came from the deep shade of the cypress,
unhurried and genial. "It's been a long time since I Traveled, though I visited many
worlds in my youth. Come sit here by the fountain and tell me how it is with you,
young man."
Tankesh peered into the shadow but couldn't make out more than a vague presence.
With a slight shrug, he moved closer, noting with relief that the air was distinctly
cooler under the tree. He sank down onto the rim of the fountain and squinted into
the shadow.
The sage was very old, a shrunken, withered figure barely visible among a nest
of shawls. How could he stand shawls in this heat? "What's going on?" he asked.
The old man sighed. "It's a time of change, young man. I have studied many
lifetimes and do not fully understand it. There is always the possibility of
Traveling from one world to another, but the choice of destination is ordinarily
restricted, and the passage is difficult. For some reason beyond my slender
understanding, this is changing...at least for now. A world of which we know
nothing, have never Visited--your world--is coming into conjunction with ours.
Travel is easy, even happening by sheerest accident. Thus, I gather, your presence."
"The doctor who brought me here said the same thing, more or less. But that
still doesn't tell me why ME, what happened to my companion, and how I get home!"
The old man laughed. "Why you and what happened to your companion, I cannot
guess. As to how you might get home--" He stretched one thin leg out in front of
him, and the sunlight burned on a crimson slipper with a curled toe. "I don't think
my shoes will fit you, but there are other ways. Quite simple, really. Come into my
terminal." He hoisted himself to his feet and headed for a door that was barely
visible under a deep arcade.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hey Zorpunt! How is it you let me sit up here...on this throne? A skinny little
twerp like me from the carriages on the outskirts of town has achieved such a lofty
goal. In all seriousness though, I thank you for allowing me such a fine winning
streak, though my manager is complaining about me graduating too soon or some sh...
er stuff! That lil' punk b..... If he's got a problem wit' me winning, tell him to
come see me. Party at my crib tonight, come join me!
Slim Shady
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in ZORPUNT! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... MVP award for PENOK?
BATTLEMANIA's proud of her after beating TELLAR FLEET and getting 22 points. Talk
about yer big time losers! OLD MAN WINTER got smashed by AIMER, and lost 10 points!
This Duelmaster is like something else! SLIM SHADY stopped CONE SHELL dead in its
tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said ZORPUNT's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at
The Dripping Blade? Don't look at me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? THE MC5 was ZORPUNT's most avoided team. Is there
some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are THE ASININE? THE MC5, an
easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can
AUSSIE KILLERS' STONEFISH be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but
is that really the same? See if I ever talk to RICH CRANIUM again! IGGY POP was so
low when He challenged he. Hhmph! I was sorry to see such an unfair "fight" in
ZORPUNT. RICH CRANIUM got 2 points after beating IGGY POP, 16 points below him.
HUGE TWIRLING MAN must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He
challenged CURTIS JOSEPH. 14 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.)
I thought HUGE TWIRLING MAN showed great skill and promise when he won victory over
CURTIS JOSEPH. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ZORPUNT ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to
hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. ZORPUNT is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! I
had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Huge Twirling Man -- Somehow I thought you'd be taller. Well, your desperation strat
is obviously just a bit better than mine, nice fight. -- CEO
Jessie June -- Wow, didn't think I knew how to parry. Well, you've been spanked.
Hope it didn't hurt too much.... -- Spankytime
Aimer -- Heh, bet you'd be surprised to know that I went 13 minutes with only a 13
will. We'll meet again as soon as I find a decent weapon. -- Penok
Dehumanizer -- You're just lucky I didn't go all P-Funk on you that's all! -- George
Clinton
Tellar Fleet -- Don't you think you could of taught me something. After all I'm
Iggy, not one of the Stooges! -- Iggy Pop
Tazzy Tiger -- Nothing to be ashamed of in that fight. You were simply over matched.
You will have your day soon enough! -- Curtis Joseph
Cone Shell -- Darn. Also drat. That's embarrassing. I'd like to make the "style

Iggy Pop -- You just about went pop there! Glad you didn't. -- Tellar Fleet
Slim Shady -- For those skills, I'll glad hand over the throne to you, young fella!
Sit on it in good health. -- Flitter McGee
Spankytime -- Tish. Well, at least you didn't kill me. Oh, I know, they all tell me
it was a mistake, but mistakes leave a body just as dead as deliberate acts do. --
Jessie June
Orestes -- Huh, that was an odd moment. I was going to write a note to Kermet,
congratulating him on his win, when I suddenly realized that *I* am Kermet! Felt
strange, like somebody was messing with my head, and it wasn't, isn't all that strong
a head to begin with, or so Leeta tells me. -- Kermet
P.S. I taught you all that? Amazing. You must be really smart to learn so well.

To All Managers -- I would like to take this time to announce that my alliance, The
Association, is no more. Due to the dead weight managers of the alliance and their
lack of participation, DarkSpirit and I have formed a new alliance: The Firm. We
have taken on two members so far and are looking for a few more. If you would like
to find out more about The Firm, you can diplo Dark Spirit, Unknowns XX in arena 15
or myself, Sungod, Sadists F2FII in arena 62.

26 July 2003
Citizens of Alastari, a bright dawn has risen. While you slept, a pernicious
force has entered the once-fair City of Aruak. It fought alongside their treasured
warriors, it drank with their fans, and it slept with their women. Now the masks are
coming off.
Warriors, be afraid...be very afraid. After years of Andorian managers ranting
that Aruak is the safest city in Alastari, the Frothingslosh Syndicate has selected
Aruak City as the home for its next epic 'contest'--Murder by Numbers II. Our spies
have selected the warriors for extermination, and the executioners have had several
months to prepare. Now a new age of darkness will descend upon Aruak, as the
Syndicate and its allies bring an entirely new level of competition to the arena!
Downchallenges! Assassinations! Small poodles as hors d'oeuvres!
The Murder by Numbers II 'rules' will be announced next cycle. However, we
invite all managers, from all corners of Alastari, to come to Aruak City and take
part...in one way or another. Help defend the honor of a long heralded haven for the
pure, or join the forces of change in their siege of the ice-cream and cake
stronghold of the Dukes of Nerf-Dueling!
This exercise is not for either the faint of heart or the weak willed. Blood
will flow, brains will leak, and beer will be chugged. Either way, we welcome you
with open arms and gleaming blades.
This public service announcement has been brought to you by Frothingslosh Epic
Contests (tm), the number 86, and the letter 'K'.
The Frothingslosh Syndicate

* * * *The Third Annual Turf War* * * *
Yes, it's time again for alliances to go to war! TW3 will be held in DM 47
(North Fork) at a date to be specified later--right after Crip's Incomprehensible
Contest is over...but I'm sure everyone wants to get their teams there soon! Here
are the rules:
1. Each alliance must have a leader declare the arrival of his alliance. The leader
will be responsible for verifying any and all teams/managers who declare to the
alliance he/she is leading.
2. Each manager, team declaring for the contest must have approval of the leader,
donate one Roll-up Certificate ($5) to the prize pot (send it to me by diplo, by
snail, or a note to customer service), and declare his/her team by diplo, p-ad or
snail.
3. Each team may declare one warrior as champion. All points scored by a champ are
double!
4. Prizes are as follows (mostly...there WILL be some things added as the prize pot
grows with entry donations--this list is not final!)
* Highest scoring alliance -- Rename Arena 47 for a period of 6 months, one half
of the total prize pot donated; roll-up certs.
* The Alliance with the most returns from the DA will get to re-name the DA
monsters for a period of 6 months.
* The alliance with the most warriors listed as style masters will get to pick
the Alastari city/arena to host the next Grand Tournament.
* The warrior with the most front page honors/awards will have the Arenamaster
named after him for a period of 6 months.
* The Alliance with the most front page Honors/Awards will have the honor of
picking the *slow* arena to host the Fifth Annual Turf War.
* The team with the most listings as Style Master will find out the favorites of
one of their warriors.
* The warrior with the most listings as Style Master will fight at my expense
for five turns (I will transfer to the manager's account).
* The Alliance with the most kills will be able to re-name the stand-in warriors
for a period of 6 months.
* The warrior that scores the most total points will fight at my expense for 5
turns (I will transfer $7.50 to the manager's account).
* The team that scores the most total points will receive an extra share of
roll-up certs from the prize pot.
There may be more categories to come, and the prize pot still has to be
divided...I'm open to category/prize ideas--and further donations to the prize pot.
The contest will run for *TEN* turns; prizes will be awarded at the end of the
11th turn.
Scoring will be as follows:
* 5 points per fight, doubled for each of the following conditions met:
-- Two Alliance -- Champion
-- Challenge -- Two Champions
-- Bloodfeud -- Challenger losing
-- Kill
(Note: DA losses are exempt, but DA wins will be *tripled*!!! Ex: Happy
Slasher goes to the DA and dies, no points are lost. If he wins, his team scores 60
points! If he was a champ, he scores 120 points!)
Use the following chart to calculate scores:
Conditions Met: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Points Per Fight: 5 10 20 40 80 160 320 640
* Awards/Honors and Style Masters will each be awarded points also. Find the total
number of each (do note add Awards and Style Masters together) and consult the graph
below. Champs that score an award or style master count as two.
1 -- 5 7 -- 320
2 -- 10 8 -- 640
3 -- 20 9 -- 1280
4 -- 40 10 -- 2560
5 -- 80 11 -- 5280
6 -- 100 (x2 for each extra)
Note -- These categories *count as "triple"*--they will be figured for each team,
*AND* again for each alliance *as well as* for each warrior!
* Each and every mention in the Spy Report is worth 5 points...period.
* TVs will be scored on the same scale as Awards/Style Masters, but the total points
will be x10. TC's will be scored as TV's, but x10 more.
Number of TV/TC's Points Scored (TV/TC)
1 50/ 500
2 100/1000
3 200/2000
4 400/4000
+ x2/ x2 (for each extra)
Each alliance will start with 5000 points, scores for *fights* will be added to
the winner's total *AND* deducted from the losers.
Come one and all, defend your turf and the honor of your alliance...or your
own!

Assurnasirbanipal invites you to Talcama to participate in the third BATTLE
ROYAL contest. It is a Delarquan contest so brutal that even some of Talcama's most
notable managers will refuse to participate. The rules are simpler than any other
contest: You may not avoid any other contest team. There are no silly rules for who
can and can't compete. Any team in Talcama is eligible to compete. The scoring is
also quite simple (+1 for a win, +1 for a kill (+1 for the win), -1 for a loss) and
the first team to reach 25 points is the winner.
Scoring will be live--the results for the turn posted in the newsletter. The
winner will be able to fight their contest team in Talcama for free for 6 months but
more importantly will win a contest against some of the best managers who play the
game in one of the hardest contests in the game.
First turn for BATTLE ROYAL 3 is Talcama Turn 465, which is due August 30.
