They all look to me when the big decisions need to be made. Now last month was the debut of the Pax Clan on the Morya sands, and as the results showed, we have potential, with four out of five wins, though I will be the first to admit that there is a lot of room for improvement. The Pax Clan is a family that got its start as farmers long ago. We have spread out all over Alastari, and have married into many bloodlines. We have even recently migrated to Lirith Kai. Now, I will pull team members from all over in the future, but this team is from right here in Morya. They run a tavern called the Drunken Ox, so if you are looking for a drink, stop by any time. Now, as I am new to the sands, I would appreciate any advice you other managers might give. I'll see you at the sands and I wish you all good luck. -- Pappy Pax + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Edge of Night #30 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Somewhere in the Spirit Lands: Young Joan stopped and gave two tugs on the rope that connected her with Cloudrider, signaling him to come to her. Then she waited. Stared at the "land" around them. Nearly flat, poorly lit by the perpetual twilight of this region of the Spirit Lands, thinly grown with some kind of knee-high brown ferns. She considered it a textbook example of "drab and depressing." It was enough to put anyone off dying, if this was where you had to go afterward. Cloudrider appeared, seeming to condense out of the murky atmosphere. Plodding, as though it took all his effort to put one foot in front of the next. He looked depressed. "We aren't going to find Necroma this way," he said. "No," Joan agreed. "I can't think of any way we can look for her with any hope of finding her except by pure chance. We're wasting our time looking." "I hate to just abandon her!" "Yes, but we can't afford to throw away our time in a futile search. There are important things we're supposed to be doing. Uncle Wolf is counting on us." The young gladiator heaved a deep sigh. "I guess. But I really don't like it." "Welcome to real life. If it helps, if we see anything that might be a clue to finding Necroma while we're doing Uncle Wolf's business, we will pursue it." "But not right away, I bet. Not if it means dropping Uncle Wolf's work unfinished." Cloudrider glanced at Joan's face, then away. He'd seen the answer there clearly enough. "I know Uncle Wolf's work is important, but I don't like leaving Necroma on her own." *** ***** *** ***** *** Necroma didn't much like being on her own in this limbo, but in a way, it was exhilarating. Whatever happened now would be her responsibility entirely. If she did something right, it would be because she, personally, had thought of the right thing to do and done it. Not because some teacher had told her what to do. And she had thought of something to do. Whether it was right or not, only time would tell. It was a spell she had never seen a use for until now, a spell of summoning, in a way, but of summoning herself to the location of some other being, instead of drawing that other to her own location. She focused her thoughts on Cloudrider and began to chant in her mind. Carefully, because the difference between this and the standard summoning resided in two simple phrases, and if she got them wrong, Cloudrider would end up here in limbo with her. + ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ Edge of Night #31 ]H[ + ---:--- + ]H[ + Somewhere in the North Woods: Math laid down where Wolf told him to, but he didn't expect to sleep, so it was a surprise when the old shaman shook him awake. He even felt a little rested. It was dark except for a single candle that someone had set on a shelf; it flickered and smoked. Malcorn was standing near it, reading from a small book that was almost lost in his big hands. "We need to get the horses ready," Wolf said. "Half an hour to moonrise, and then we will be leaving." Math looked at the rear of the mausoleum, which was carved to look like a door. What it looked like was a stone wall. Wolf saw the way his eyes went and snorted. "It is a door, and it will open for us in half an hour." Which didn't reassure him at all. Somewhere else, no longer in the woods: "I never heard what the Spirit Land was like," Blackwind said. "Do you suppose this is it?" "Does it matter?" the Croc asked. "It's where we are and what we have to work with." His non-human head swung a little. "The link is clear." "Yeah." Blackwind sighed. No use expecting the lizard-man to think like he did. "I just wondered, and information is always good to have. I've never heard much about the Spirit Land, in Malcorn we don't, well, I was going to say we don't deal with it, but I suppose we must one way or another. But not, um, raw, the way the Rirorni do. The way Uncle Wolf would." "Or Redfox? He is Rirorni, perhaps he knows more about what is happening here." "Might be, but it doesn't help us any." *** ***** *** ***** *** There was a voice, not the nighthunter, someone else. For a wasteland, this place was getting crowded. Him, the nighthunter, through the link he could feel Blackwind and Agro coming toward them, and now this voice like thunder speaking words he didn't know. Maybe this was the "demon lord Arhazul" that the nighthunter had bargained with to be free to hunt. The demon lord that would demand half his blood. He almost laughed, these supernatural predators were so predictable. But deadly for all that. The nighthunter answered in the same unknown language, whining. Groveling. It was afraid. Probably in trouble because it hadn't killed him yet. And all the demon lord cared about was his blood, not his fear. Maybe it would kill him itself. *** ***** *** ***** *** "Redfox, and trouble," Blackwind said, looking at the cluster of beings in the distance. Redfox, down across a stone. The nighthunter. Something else. The Croc made a growling sound that might have been agreement. "Redfox may be dead." "Then we recover his body and take it back to the Isle for resurrection." His hand went to his sword. "Even if we have to fight for it." Agro grinned, revealling a mouth that contained more teeth than seemed reasonable. "A fight would be good." * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 612): KEEL HAULER of SEA DOGS (One-Armed Bandit, mgr.)

First and foremost, I sit on the throne once again with the crown on my head for everybody on "lockdown". Be extremely sublte even to the pont of formlessness be extremely mysterious even to the point of soundlessness thereby you can be the director of an opponent's fate, long live the guerrilla fighter SPY REPORT Greetings, warriors of MORYA! Once again I've been called out of retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Some people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well PHANTACITY moved up 0, to 2nd. THE CONDEMNED's walking tall now that they went 4-1-0 their first time out. But we know what awaits them soon... What's with FLEN ASAIL? He actually beat MORYA's JAR JAR BINKS, and walked away with 21 more points from the fight. Major screwup at PAX CLAN. BOBBY PAX lost 9 points to CASCELLA. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe BOBBY PAX will provide more easy wins... See how the Duelmaster challenged DODGE BULLETS' MANKILLER? That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for DODGE BULLETS' outstanding member, Duelmaster MANKILLER. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, PHANTACITY! In my day, no team with a 80-84-8 would scare me off! What's the problem, STEEL AND SILK? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, REIBISCH! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Maybe PHANTACITY's OPASAN is one of those guys who likes pain, or something. That's what he'll get next week, after challenging up 56 to STORMDANCER. As I expected, STORMDANCER won OPASAN. Not to start anything, but, OPASAN, now that you've faced him and seen his style, you might try it again! Warriors of MORYA unite. You have only your games to lose! Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously! Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf. Olaffighterwork and no play. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MANKILLER 4279 24 23 0 111 DODGE BULLETS (126) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EXPERIENTIA 4483 12 7 0 101 STEEL AND SILK (495) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME YAU (DARKFACE) 4519 11 6 0 88 ZULU NATION (501) SURGICAL 4437 11 15 0 86 STEEL AND SILK (495) OPASAN 4381 15 15 1 82 PHANTACITY (480) -CASH MEALS 4532 9 5 0 78 EXPENSE ACCOUNT (506) LORVANDIS 4402 17 17 0 73 DODGE BULLETS (126) SECI 4464 15 9 2 72 PHANTACITY (480) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CLOUDRIDER 4424 16 16 0 64 DODGE BULLETS (126) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PIZDA 4599 8 1 0 56 PHANTACITY (480) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ASSUNDRIES 4555 5 2 0 53 EXPENSE ACCOUNT (506) ZOD 4525 10 5 0 52 ZULU NATION (501) ANFERROUS 4508 11 5 0 51 STEEL AND SILK (495) SCARLET 4603 6 4 0 47 D'HARAN EMPIRE (513) -PARKING FEES 4535 3 3 0 46 EXPENSE ACCOUNT (506) OTHER 4536 11 4 0 45 EXPENSE ACCOUNT (506) JENNSEN 4604 6 4 0 43 D'HARAN EMPIRE (513) ZOE (DARKFACE) 4538 5 11 0 37 ZULU NATION (501) PATTE DE SAGUAR 4629 5 2 0 36 THE PENTARCHY (397) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SLOMI 4618 4 3 0 33 PHANTACITY (480) BLOOD HAWK 4621 5 4 0 30 DODGE BULLETS (126) MORTUUS 4387 4 3 1 30 SANGUIS MORI (488) -TEZCATLIPOCA 4641 3 0 0 29 THE PENTARCHY (397) CRICTOR UNGERER 4640 2 2 0 27 THE PENTARCHY (397) CRUORIS 4388 4 3 1 24 SANGUIS MORI (488) -WHITE BECT 4645 2 1 0 24 THE PENTARCHY (397) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MARS 4584 4 3 1 23 GODS & GODDESSES (511) RENTAL CAR 4534 4 3 0 22 EXPENSE ACCOUNT (506) CHANDALEN 4602 4 6 3 21 D'HARAN EMPIRE (513) CASCELLA 4659 2 2 0 21 D'HARAN EMPIRE (513) FLEN ASAIL 4668 1 0 0 21 THE CONDEMNED (520) ZZ (DARKFACE) 4628 2 2 1 17 ZULU NATION (501) CAEDERE 4389 4 3 1 16 SANGUIS MORI (488) MESSORA 4427 3 1 1 16 SANGUIS MORI (488) VRTOGLAVA 4684 2 0 0 16 PHANTACITY (480) -MORPHEUS 4582 4 3 0 15 GODS & GODDESSES (511) -HEPHAESTUS 4615 2 2 1 15 GODS & GODDESSES (511) REIBISCH 4683 2 0 0 15 D'HARAN EMPIRE (513) DEAEL 4671 1 0 0 14 THE CONDEMNED (520) -KRYDOR DU'MORTE 4665 1 0 0 13 KRYDOR'S ELITE (519) NENA VIXIN 4670 1 0 0 13 THE CONDEMNED (520) DASK RUIN 4667 1 0 0 10 THE CONDEMNED (520) MELVIN PAX 4681 1 1 0 10 PAX CLAN (522) -ATHENA 4616 2 2 0 8 GODS & GODDESSES (511) ZAIRE (DARKFACE) 4661 2 1 0 7 ZULU NATION (501) SARA PAX 4680 1 1 1 5 PAX CLAN (522) BOBBY PAX 4678 1 1 1 5 PAX CLAN (522) DIANA PAX 4677 1 1 1 5 PAX CLAN (522) MORGANNA PAX 4679 0 2 0 2 PAX CLAN (522) -MANGLER 4648 0 2 0 2 CHILDREN OF WAR (517) -BEAVER 4649 0 1 0 1 CHILDREN OF WAR (517) WREN STAVELY 4669 0 1 0 1 THE CONDEMNED (520) LOURDEPATTE 4690 0 1 0 1 THE PENTARCHY (397) -WHISPER 4650 0 1 0 1 CHILDREN OF WAR (517) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Well, after Darkface and LaPentarque got through with us last round, Steel & Silk and The D'Haran Empire put it to us some more. 0-4 for the two rounds! What a lousy Expense Account. -- Finance Manager Jennsen -- You can certainly hold your breath longer than I can. Well done. -- Other Experimentia -- That was no experiment. You must be my momma. -- Cash Meals Argh! Shame and horror! My guys didn't fight! I dont have a clue about how it happened, but I sure hope that they won't be trapped by a rabid postman next turn. -- Le Pentarque, startled by this first blunder in years. P.S. I shouldn't have bragged in the last Nl, braggers are always punished. Finance Manager -- You are welcome! -- Le Pentarque. Yep, Zoe(Darkface), we are not the team to beat. Enjoy beating somenone else! -- Le Pentarque. Other -- Nothing personal! Just needed the lift. And love your giving nature! -- Jennsen ZZ -- A little sluggish, huh? Better catch up on your ZZs! Getting ambushed is rough. -- Scarlet Darkface -- History is written by the winners. We see a continuation of recorded honor. -- D'Haran Empire P.S. Congratulations to you! Regained honor yourselves. Seci -- I expected you, but was outmatched to start with. Three skills! I was still a winner. -- Chandalen Slomi -- Avoided you to focus on someone, but was blindsided. You look different in that wig and dress! -- Cascella Morganna Pax -- Sorry about your reception! Welcome to you and the clan! -- Reibisch and D'Haran Empire Welcome to all the newbies! -- Lord Rahl and D'Haran Empire Michael -- Really? A summoning circle? All you had to do was ask, and I would've come. -- The Dark Angel Azaziel, mgr. Sanguis Mori P.S. Congrats on the grads!! Lorvandis -- Well, it's nice to see you again, at least since Azaziel has ordered me to fight by torchlight! I hope you continue to do well. -- Fati the Forlorn All -- Well, I've returned after wandering the planes. Nice to see those of you who are still here and those that are new to me, salute! I look forward to competing with you. Hopefully my warriors haven't allowed their weapons and armor to rust. I would HATE to have to recraft all those magical enchantments. Besides, Morya looks like it could use some more teams. -- Azaziel P.S. Let justice be done, so the heavens fall! Of course we could use more teams! Name me an arena who couldn't. The Scribe -- Hello. my dear. When you have time, could you print a listing of all the managers/teams, please? -- Azaziel P.S. Yes, I know how busy you are with ALL of your responsibilities, but I am practically begging. :) Blackmail, that's what it is!

Chardinee? Well, he's a man, so I'll drown him in my bathtub. The monsters can clean up the remains. -- Mankiller Anferrous -- Ouch? Nasty fellow, aren't you? Good fight. -- Blood Hawk Finance Manager -- While there are, indeed, plenty of deer roaming these parts--more numerous than the people!, I don't think we've seen a buffalo around here for close on two hundred years. It isn't buffalo country. And the deer are mostly noted for running in front of my brother-in-law's truck when he's speeding home from bowling late at night. -- Jorja P.S. As to what the world is coming to, the commenter was correct, I don't want to know.
