TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Heathen's Cafe
Sharing knowledge of the game, what an interesting idea. Heathen, I think you
are fairly close with your theory on tactics. I don't think the bonus is that big
except when the tactic used is the warrior's favorite. Baphomet, I would love to see
you again (and anyone else who wants to take a crack at it!) Does Luck (good or bad)
affect every aspect of a warriors. I know how it works with skills and learns, but
it seems to me that it effects everything. Case in point, I have a Lunger with a ST
10, CN 8, WL 15, and very little end! What gives! That's not one, but two steps
down the chart. Can anyone explain that to me?
Well, any of you newbies (Heathen's idea of a newbie is different than mine.
He calls himself one but he's been around almost as long as I have) have questions
feel free to post it or diplo me and I'll try to answer it. I just hope more
managers besides Heathen, Baphomet and myself come to Heathen's Cafe. Good drinks
here.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Surprise! Surprise! I am the first in my Stable to take out Velond Wok, and quickly
I might add. I wouldn't expect to do it again. My manager still isn't impressed
with me. He spends more time on the "youngsters" in his stable. Blah. Shows what
he knows. I'm the Duelmaster! I have conquered all!
Theodric
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly LYRATILAN games. BIG JOY caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested QUIA SALIAN and was awarded 14
points in recognition. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail
VELOND WOK, Duelmaster of LYRATILAN! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6
die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city LYRATILAN. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in LYRATILAN
these days is THE MIDDLE WAY 4. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid
them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding THE MIDDLE WAY 4. Indeed it was MADTOWN. Loose
talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many
fighters are after QUIA SALIAN. Watch your back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise
are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

Theodoric -- It was my pleasure to hand over to you. Write a column? -- Velond Wok
Bloodshed -- So long as it's YOUR blood, I don't mind. -- Beltran Foss
Big Joy -- Not so big, buster brown, and I could stand to see a smile on your face.
Where's your joy? -- Quia Salian
Lord Protector Monkey Wrench -- I believe Arenamaster Jyo, or somebody, was going to
offer you some lands. But they've all gone out somewhere, and the printer wants this
newsletter, and I don't see any notes around. So you'll just have to go to the Isle
without. But since you're never here, I suppose you won't mind? -- Handicapper Igan
B Wyrd
P.S. You can protest this--address it to Arenamaster Jyo--if you wish. I don't
mind.
