It was one of the basic rules that the more information you had relevant to your problem, the better your chance was of solving it. She frowned at her gilt-framed magic mirror, twisting a lock of hair thoughtfully as she considered how to make best use of it. It was still working, after a fashion, but the reddish film tainting the glass was stronger. It confused the images, and she suspected that it also indicated something more dangerous than misreading a scene: that the spell which it embodied was being contaminated by blood magic, as well. Contaminated, and maybe distorted, maybe even subverted. Did she dare use the mirror spell now? Did she dare NOT use it? She needed information to plan her campaign against Khaldren. She shook her head and wiped at the red-tinged glass once more. She would just have to-- "Ma'am?" She glanced over her shoulder as Segallion Sundancer, one of her warriors, looked into the room. His countrywoman Nila was with him. "Nila and I were wondering if we could help, ma'am. You being a sun priestess, and us being temple staff of the Sun Temple on Korvant Isle, well, we thought we might be... compatible." "Oh. Hmm." Adie frowned, her fingers automatically going to one of her curls and twisting it as she considered the possibilities. The worship of the sun as performed in the western Karian states was not at all like that of her own tradition, but it might work. It might, at least, be worth trying. "Perhaps," she said finally. "Let's set it up this way: I'll start on my own, and if I don't need your help, you keep out of it-- It's too dangerous to mix in if you aren't needed," she added sternly as Segallion opened his mouth to protest. "But you be READY, and if I need help, I'll signal you." Maybe she would, but maybe not. It WAS dangerous, and neither gladiator had achieved Shelia Greywand's immortality yet. But she understood the need to be helpful, and she might not have to make use of their aid. When both gladiators nodded agreement, she turned back to her mirror. Carefully, with every aspect of the spell observed meticulously--something that wasn't necessary under better times, because spells were normally all of a piece and could "take a hint," as it were--she began the incantation that would activate the mirror. The surface shimmered crimson silver, glittering and trembling. This was NOT the normal behavior of a mirror spell! It felt as though she was trying to lift a great weight with her mind. She had never thought of the veil between HERE and THERE as a weight before.... Abruptly the glass cleared, or nearly so, a reddish film remained. And there was risen Krael as she had seen it before. But this time she was not interested in the general view. It was an accepted law of magic that for every strength a magician or wizard had, there was a corresponding weakness. Khaldren had come into the present from Krael, and somewhere in that city she hoped to find a clue to his power and his weakness. There was the ancient city, mud-stained and battered by the centuries it had spent sunk beneath the Trier. There the survivors, moving about their tasks which seemed inexplicable but must be linked in some way to Khaldren. She selected one of the better-dressed men and began to follow him through the ruins. His course was erratic, she thought at first it was to avoid the obstacles presented by the city's decrepit state. But he climbed over the mound of rubble that represented a fallen wall, and splashed through a knee-deep pool of water and mud. There were easier ways to get from one point to another, so why...? The man met up with another, handed over a... she couldn't see what, a crystal of some sort, and sat down on a stone to wring out the hem of his robe. The other man set off across the rubble. With a cold shock, Adie realized that the movement of these men, and others in Krael, were themselves parts of a spell. What kind of spell would be produced by somatic components on such a scale? A very powerful one.... Were the other "risen cities" involved in this? Celestinvael had been mentioned, and Old Valamantis. Adie turned her mirror-sight to the south. She was marginally aware that behind her the two gladiators began to dance and chant. Near Ardivent: Master Cho, former manager of the Bluvalley Warriors of Ardivent and Chan Chi Monastery of Khalhums, sipped his wine and nodded approval. "Very good. Quite drinkable, in fact." Fandil, former manager of the Fandils, laughed and poured wine into his own cup. "Like you wouldn't drink it anyway, you old bandit?" He sobered. "What brings you down from the mountains, Cho? The rumors about Celestinvael?" The ancient city lay in the forested no-man's-land between Ardivent and the Delarquan Federation, and woodsmen had been bringing tales of marvels and minor disasters for weeks now. That it was a matter for concern, a matter that would bear watching, was undeniable, but Fandil had seen nothing to indicate that it was urgent. "Celestinvael is enough to worry about," Master Cho answered, nodding, "and it is indirectly what brought me here. If you think about what the city was like in its last days...! But my immediate concern is young Adeolar up in Aruak City." "I may be retired," old Fandil said stiffly, "but I'm not COMPLETELY out of touch, Cho! Adeolar is a very competent woman, and Kennelworth is not worried about her--he'd have mentioned it in his last letter. She can handle anything she's likely to meet." "No doubt... one on one. But that fool Khaldren has invoked and involved wizards from a dozen centuries. Not all of them will work together--as well try to get cats to run in step! But some will, and can she handle two, or six, or ten, if they're all working together?" "Ah." Fandil was silent for several minutes, stroking his beard slowly as his mind raced. "Ah. That could be... bad. Very bad." He set his wine cup down carefully. "You're quite right. We'll have to assist her, or at least be ready to do so. Now?" "What better time?" * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 243): RANCID WAIF of HAPLESS WAIF (Berylstar, mgr.)

"Zorpunt, your attention please! I present to you your current Duelmaster, and all around great guy, the most dangerous one, CROCONAW!!!!!" "Thanks for the intro Wartortle. I see your warmup act has really prepared the room for my show tonight." "Don't mention it Crockie! It was the least I could do considering I lost our bet and so owed you this deed anyway. Who'da thunk you could actually down that many chickens in one sitting?" (Chuckles) "Tortle, you don't know the half of my abilities. My kind are a skilled lot, and not only when it comes to eating, if you know what I mean!" "I sure do Croconaw, last turn you become the youngest Duelmaster in Zorpunt history! A feat so great, so immense in it's achievement, that only a man like you would be able to accomplish it." "Now now, I don't think I am actually the youngest ever here...I think I heard the quote 'Youngest in the modern era'. I also heard 'most handsome', 'wunderkind', and 'a helluva man' over the last week, so much praise that I would've almost blushed, but I'm so used to it. By the way Tortle, what happened to you last turn anyway? "Well, I took a tough loss to Tombo Lark, a warrior with vastly more experience than me, and the only warrior who has beaten you from Zorpunt to date. Noble's tactic for getting me the first attack worked - he didn't tell me I wouldn't hit my opponent automatically!" (again chuckling) "Tortle, that Noble will only tell you what you absolutely need to know - and only if it's good news. When is he coming back around anyway?" "Well Croc, he sent letter a week ago saying he'd be by to pick some of us up for the next tournament, but we'd be on our own other than that." "Good good, I like when he's away...mice will play and so forth. Speaking of that...you didn't leave Gyrados in charge of cooking duty tonight did you tortle?" "I believe it was his turn...hey what's that smoke rising from the West?" "Time to cut this show off 'Tortle so we can go rescue our stablemates! Zorpunt, we shall return for next week's show, when the guest will be...whoever will appear for 1 gold coin or less, and a lovely parting gift." SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of ZORPUNT brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see WARTORTLE win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, JOE POOLE beat TIGER SHARK and TIGER SHARK lost 13 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, ZORPUNT may be getting bland, as CROCONAW stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, ZORPUNT? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. What's the big D? 13 YRS & COUNTING was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like WATER DECK avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, TOMBO LARK was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ZORPUNT's morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. There's got to be a better place in ZORPUNT to get a drink than The Warty Toad! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!

We shall indeed be better for his joining. 6 May 2004 DEATH FEST The ferocious ghosts of former glories whispered across the wind swept sands of DM 59; agonizing incessantly due to the diminutive demise of the Delarq arena known as Illis. Tattered banners and forgotten memories wailed in the wind for a dynamic death march to dawn once more upon the blood stained sands of the Delarq slow arena. The distant call crying for a declaration of restoration amidst the ruin of the all but forgotten Delarq arena carried to the far corners of Alastari; drawing the Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging to cross blades and wage warfare among an assemblage of new stables managed by the Known and Unknown; willing to spill fresh blood, while carving their destiny during 15 Rounds of contest driven combat to be known as the "Illis Incredibly Diabolical Delarq Death Fest". A lone cloaked figure huddled by lamplight in a remote outpost near the crossroads of ElseWhere and ElseWhen; feverishly formulating the foundational framework for the dawning of the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59, complete with Gladiatorial Commission sanctioned prizes to promote the growing thirst for a Delarq Slow Arena Death Festival. Delarq Death Fest Opening Round debuts the first turn immediately following the Summer 2004 F2F Tourney and continues through the completion of 15 consecutive rounds. Death Fest points are Won or Lost ONLY in the DM 59 Delarq Slow Arena [Tourneys DO NOT Add or Subtract from the Death Fest Point Scoring System]: Death Fest Scoring Format: Win =3D +2 pts Loss =3D -1 pt Kill =3D +5 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win] Death =3D -3 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss] Dark Arena Kill =3D +10 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win] Dark Arena Death =3D -5 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss] Revenged Blood Feud =3D +5 pts [successful Revenged Blood Feud provides Death Fest contestants the opportunity to cancel out 3 pts for Death and 1 pt for Loss; while gaining +1 pt overall for the Revenged Blood Feud in addition to the +2 pts for Win] DEATH FEST PRIZES will be awarded to the Top Ten Death Fest Stables on the basis of Total Points*** accumulated during the 15 rounds of competition as follows: 1. Favorite Weapon Knowledge for 1 (one) warrior ranked Initiate or higher on the Final Round to be revealed by RSI to each of the Top Ten Death Fest Stables 2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters and NPCs [yet to be determined according to how many DA Monsters and NPCs are available in DM 59 for Renaming] 3. The Top Five Death Fest Stables will receive New Team Rollup Certificates as follows: 1st (10), 2nd (8), 3rd (6), 4th (4) and 5th (2) 4. Renaming Illis Arena for 6 months plus Receiving 6 months Free Play courtesy of RSI will be awarded to the manager of the 1st Place Death Fest Stable 5. Discussions are underway regarding a possible Special Award granted to the Illis Iron Stable qualifiers who compete in 67 of a possible 75 fights during the course of the 15 consecutive rounds of the Death Fest [Key Factor is How Many (?) stables will be competing in the Death Fest without drawing away participation by current managers in the remaining slow arenas!] Therefore, it is important for all managers entering stables in DM 59 for the upcoming Death Fest to contact RSI as soon as possible regarding their participation in this contest so that a Final Ruling on the proposed Illis Iron Stable Award can be issued by RSI. ***TieBreaker is determined on the Final Round by the DM 59 Newsletter Recognition Rankings. The stable with the Highest Ranked Active Gladiator is granted the decision. [Example: Warrior A and Warrior B are both listed in the Recognition Rankings with 87 pts; however, because Warrior A is listed in the Recognition Rankings ahead of Warrior B, then Warrior A is granted the TieBreaker Decision for His/Her stable!] Opening Round Team Spotlight Bonus [minimum 15 paragraphs!] Each Delarq Death Fest competitor who writes a Team Spotlight featuring their Stable (Name) and Managerial Alias [Gladiatorial Names Optional] in regards to competing in the Delarq Death Fest will receive 25 pts added to His/Her opening round score. Illis Iron Stable Bonus [in addition to the proposed award awaiting RSI approval!] Any manager whose stable competes in at least 67 of the possible 75 fights during the 15 rounds of Death Fest receives 25 points added to His/Her final overall score [this allows each stable the cushion of missing one round of competition; plus up to 3 additional fights due to waiting for replacement rollups from Deaths suffered either in Tourneys or during the Death Fest contest in DM 59 over the course of 15 rounds of competition!] Delarq Death Fest Hosted by Hammer [Who Else?] LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS STARYU was dealt death by DARK CHAMPION in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight. LITTLE GIRL CRUSH vanquished TELLER FLETE in a 1 minute uneven Challenge battle. BOO narrowly defeated HENRY FORD in a dull 17 minute Challenge fight.
