TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Flowered Shoppe Reopens for Business
by Hammer the WordSmith
Gimlee was experiencing a mixture of trepidation and excitement as she strolled
down Flower Power Lane to reopen Hammerz Flowered Shoppe. Since the disappearance of
her benefactor, the beautiful Elven maiden had spent countless months in prayer at
the Crimson Ascension Temple at Hammerz Flowered Gardenz Morya Manor Estate on the
Lake northwest of Morya. She had long since closed Hammerz Flowered Shoppe, having
wearied herself from trying to explain the absence of Hammer to the countless
customers who sought the famous veteran manager in the shadow of the fabled Morya
Arena.
Morya Arena was located a mere five blocks east from Hammerz Flowered Garden and
GimLee could hear the sounds of gladiatorial combat training wafting on the softly
blowing Morya morning breeze. After Lady Martilyo had vanished from the Crimson
Ascension Temple, followed by the unexplained disappearance of Hammer, it fell upon
the shoulders of GimLee to lock the doors of Hammerz Flowered Shoppe to initiate a
prayer vigil.
ElGon the Half Elf had been forced to close his Madness Wagerz booth inside
Hammerz Flowered Shoppe to help attend to more pressing matters at Hammerz Flowered
Gardenz Morya Manor Estate on the Lake.
GrimmDorr the Warrior Dwarf had continued his vigilant drilling of the Dwarfs
Militia to assure that Hammerz Flowered Gardenz was well protected, irregardless of
the mysterious absence of his longtime friend and comrade in arms Hammer. He
expected the veteran manager to return as suddenly and unexpectedly as he had
unexplainably vanished. However, the training of arena warriors had slowly dwindled
into nothingness over the course of time as GrimmDorr set his priority upon the
security of the Estate. This included the security of the underground mining of the
gold and precious stones that provided Hammer the wealth to finance his adventures
and Estate, so GrimmDorr spent most of his time focusing on the Dwarfs Militia.
Hidden somewhere in the bowels of the massive tunnel complex deep beneath
Hammerz Flowered Gardenz Morya Manor Estate on the Lake, the Sisters of the Sword
spent most of their time in the sanctuary of their Sanctum Sanctorum. The five
members of the Flowered Hammerz stable had half heartedly continued their
gladiatorial training in the seclusion of their self imposed exile, awaiting the now
seemingly doubtful return of their manager Hammer. Although it was GrimmDorr who
actually oversaw their training when they were an active stable in Morya Arena, the
formerly lethal and in recent weeks lethargic ladies drew their focus from Hammer.
Hammer had been the heart and soul of their inspiration to dance upon the sands
of Morya Arena, but their competitive fires were like dying embers in their warrior
souls as a result of his prolonged absence. GimLee made sure that provisions from
the kitchen of Salty Pepper Steak were being properly consumed by the Sisters of the
Sword. After all, the Half Orc lady chef had continued to serve her famous delicious
recipes as though Hammer was merely occupied with one of his famous adventures.
Hammer would not find Salty Pepper Steak to be slack in her duties during his
prolonged absence! She just acted and talked as though Hammer were on a short
adventure that would bring him back in a matter of a few short days.
This attitude consistently exhibited by Salty Pepper Steak served as an
encouragement and confidence builder that convinced GimLee that her lost love would
one day return to Morya again.
GimLee prayed the more fervently and served in the Crimson Ascension Temple with
a faith that would not be denied. Suddenly a vision was revealed to GimLee late one
night that would forever change her life.
The next morning she made her way swiftly to the Sisters of the Sword secret
secluded Sanctum Sanctorum, where she boldly confronted the Flowered Hammerz stable
members. Black Rose Hammer, Venus Trap Hammer, Briar Stem Hammer, Thorn Stem Hammer
and Poison Ivy Hammer quickly noted the glow that beamed outwardly from GimLee. They
had just befgun their morning exercises when GimLee boldly interrupted their session.
Black Rose Hammer motioned for her Sisters of the Sword to lay down their
weapons and give GimLee their undivided attention.
The beautiful Elf maiden was bubbling with excitement as she shared with the
Sisters the essence of the vision she had received the previous night. "Hammer is
returning to Morya Arena from SomeWhere BeYond the Realms of ElseWhere and ElseWhen!"
"He spoke to me to prepare you ladies for his return! GrimmDorr is even now
contacting the Gladiatorial Commission to reactivate the Flowered Hammerz stable to
immediately dance upon the Morya Arena sands not many days hence!"
"You are to report to GrimmDorr for some specialized training sessions to
sharpen your talents and get the cobwebs out of your heads!"
Each Sister of the Sword nodded their assent as the reality of what was taking
place began to lift their fighting spirits from the pits of despair!
ElGon the Half Elf had begun drawing up plans to print handbills announcing the
reopening of Hammerz Flowered Shoppe, including the resumption of his taking bets on
the arena fights at his Madness Wagerz booth in the Flowered Shoppe.
GimLee paused at the door of Hammerz Flowered Shoppe as she reflected upon how
Salty Pepper Steak had taken charge to prepare a welcome home feast for the return of
Hammer to Hammerz Flowered Gardenz. She turned the key in the lock and entered the
spacious store, where she immediately began setting things in order and tidying up
the Shoppe.
Several hours later the wagon loads of flowers from Hammerz Flowered Gardenz
were arranged in neat displays and several longtime customers had already made
purchases before she closed up the Shoppe for the night. Then she went to her
private room to bathe and refresh herself, plus get some much needed rest on her
Perfumed Petunia Bed.
As she gazed longingly at herself in her full length mirror, which was an Elven
Mirror of Migration that Hammer had given her oh so long ago, she let out a
startlingly innocent scream as a battle weary Hammer emerged through the enchanted
glass and crumpled into her waiting arms!
Hammer began whispering instructions to GimLee as she guided the trail worn
veteran manager to her waiting bed....
"May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper!"

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm beginning to hope I graduate soon. That last fight with Crictor was
downright ugly, and Valerian has been giving me some seriously evil looks lately. If
I go missing under mysterious circumstances, you can bet that bloody lass had
something to do with it!
In-team rivalries aside, though, the pickings are getting awfully thin up here.
Third time's a charm, so Crictor's out. Guess that leaves you, Rental Car. Try not
to run me over, eh? I've got enough problems without that.
-- Anferrous, the strangely morose
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt MORYA will ever be the same. The SONS OF MARS guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and
deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can
lead. And let's see, BLOOD HAWK fought WHITE BECT and gained 25 points and
contributed to DODGE BULLETS' 1-4-0. WHITE BECT has lost to BLOOD HAWK, falling 19
points, while helping make THE PENTARCHY a 1-4-0 turn. Due to his absence and
inability to defend the throne, ANFERROUS has lost the title of Duelmaster. We
should ask BLACK ROSE HAMMER about the thrill of victory, and what being the new
Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at Arthur's Last Stand?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. SONS OF MARS has cause to stand tall, as they were MORYA's
most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who
avoided SONS OF MARS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was FORCE OF FIVE.
Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was THE PENTARCHY's warrior
PATTE DE SAGUAR. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. DODGE BULLETS has lost STONEWALKER to the arena in the sky, but they don't
seem to be worried. What do you expect from 5-8-0? Kudos go out to LUCIUS SULLA
this turn, for revenging SONS OF MARS' bloodfeud against FREE MASONS' warrior ECHO.
Well done. Congratulations go out to PHANTACITY, with VRTOGLAVA revenging a
bloodfeud against PATTE DE SAGUAR of THE PENTARCHY. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in MORYA, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in MORYA again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

*TURF WAR VII RULES*
Starting Nov 2010 (12 turns)
Bring acclaim and glory to the North Fork (DM47) arena.
Anyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, or temporary alliances
created solely to compete in the Turf War! To participate, each alliance must:
1. Announce the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork (DM 47)
newsletter.
2. Indicate in the newsletter which Captain/alliance you will join.
3. Announcements made on the D2 Forums or elsewhere will not be accepted.
Captains are responsible for:
1. Verifying/authorizing, in the North Fork newsletter those who wish to
participate under the banner of their alliance. (Lack of participant indication of
joining and/or lack of lack of Captain confirmation will delay a team's participation
in the Turf War.)
2. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War.
3. Submit two (2) RSI Roll-Up Certificates to participate. (Note: Captains
may, if they wish, submit certs for all potential members of their alliance.)
Participating managers who are not Captains must:
1. Submit two (2) RSI Roll-Up Certificates to participate (Unless already
submitted by Captain. Note: extras will not be returned, but will go into the winning
pool of prizes.)
2. Announce their intent to compete with manager name, team name, and
alliance they will represent in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. Announcement made
on the D2 Forums will not be accepted.
a. No scores will be tabulated until an RSI Gift Certificate is
received, and participant indication and captain confirmation are posted in the North
Fork newsletter. NO EXCEPTIONS.
b. Before a manager can compete, he/she must declare themselves in
the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter as stated above AND be verified in the newsletter
by the alliance Captain they will represent.
c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No multiple teams or
aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate disqualification
(including team point adjustments) from the Turf War (so be sure to take any multiple
teams OFF of Team Maintenance and be certain not to run any other team warriors).
d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams/alliances that do not
properly declare or get captain confirmation or fail to send a Gift Certificate by
Turn 1. In other words, if your Gift Certificate is not received until Turn 3 of the
Turf War, and you have fought on Turns 1 and 2, your score will not begin until Turn
3. All conditions must be met before scoring will begin--declaration, verification,
and Gift Certificate received.
e. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 5 of
the Turf War.
f. For purposes of scoring, the moderators will score the Turf War
and settle any and all disputes as they arise. Their decisions will be final. (Note:
the intent is to have a very thorough set of rules so that few decisions, if any, are
required from the moderators.)
Scoring will be as follows for Fights:
Win Loss Kill Die
Up Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5
Down Challenge 0 -2 0 -5
Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud Challenge (Up or Down) +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion ** x2 x2 x2 x2
Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx
Tournament Death*** -5
Halfway (6 round total) best alliance win/loss percentage ****
Final (12 round total) alliance w/l% percentage ****
*After 2nd win in DA, warrior scores no additional points for wins,
** A Champion's double score applies to his score only -- not to the opponent.
*** No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death
or death in a tournament. There must be a maximum of five only on a team at any point
and time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.) Points awarded for
tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, 15 for a TV and 25 for a TC. Death in
a tournament negates any tournament points gained and results in a-5 score.
***** Halfway points scored are 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 5, 5 (etc) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd
(etc). (to qualify for any of these points the alliance must have fought 75% of its
possible fights.) Final 12 Round points scored are 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, 5, 5 (etc)
for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd (etc). (to qualify for any of these points the alliance must
have fought 75% of its possible fights.)
Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows:
Spy Report mention (team name only) +2
1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score
only +2 in each category per round
Style Master +2
1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score
only +2 in each category per round
Duelmaster +2
Champions:
1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory.
2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time.
3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but
not the Dark Arena, may be replaced.
4. Champions must have fought at least one previous fight in the North Fork
(DM47 arena) to be able to be declared a champion.
Bloodfeuds:
1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns.
2. There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often.
Tournament Considerations:
1. Tournament participation is ALLOWED and encouraged.
2. Tournament Victors won during the course of the contest will gain a one
(1) time bonus of 25 15 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) wins
such status.
3. Tournament Champions won during the course of the contest will gain a one
(1) time bonus of 50 25 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) win
such status.
4. Points awarded for tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, (15
total for a TV and 25 total for a TC.) However, death in a tournament will result in
a -5 score for that tournament. (If a warrior TV's and is subsequently killed in a
tournament the points scored are -5 for that tournament.)
5. Points for TVs and TCs and tournament deaths will be applied the Turn
after RSI posts tournament results in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter (i.e., if the
results post on North Fork turn 275, points will be credited on North Fork turn 276
to the applicable teams).
Special Considerations:
1. Each alliance begins the Turf War with zero (0) points.
2. There will be NO alliance or team changes once the contest has begun. If
you begin the Turf War with Alliance A, you must end the Turf War with Alliance A.
If you begin the Turf War with Team A, you must end the Turf War with Team A.
3. There will be a maximum of five (5) teams allowed per alliance for the
Turf War VII.
4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior,
without penalty.
Prizes:
The Turf War is normally a "winner take all" contest. However, for TWVII, a prize
will be awarded each of the twelve turns to the individual team/manager that fights
five fights and has the best w/l record that turn. (Tiebreakers are in order - kills,
recognition points earned.) All prizes and 100% of the Gift Certificates will be
awarded to the Captain of the winning alliance at the end of the competition. It is
the responsibility of the Captain to distribute Gift Certificates. Moderators will
submit a list of each manager on the winning alliance to RSI at the completion of the
contest for the non-Certificate prizes.
All entry fees (rollup certs) are awarded to the winning alliance, except for
the twelve reserved for the individual winning manager each week.)
The following prizes have been secured from RSI:
1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena;
2. Renaming of all Dark Arena Monsters (two for each manager in the winning
alliance);
3. Known Favorites for one warrior on each team of the winning alliance
(warrior must be ranked Initiate or above, must be alive, and must have at least one
DM47 arena fight to receive this award).
4. +1 Skill bonus potion for each manager on the winning alliance. Bonus
potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47)
5. +1 Skill bonus potion (one) for each and every individual manager who
fights in all 12 rounds AND 54 fights of the Turf War. Bonus potion must be applied
to a living warrior from (DM 47)
These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderator for claiming from RSI (Lee)
within 4 turns of the end of TW VI. The certs will be mailed to the winning alliance
by the Moderators within two weeks of the end of the TW.
Moderators:
The Moderators for this event will be Oz and Master Darque. They will arbitrate all
dealings during the course of the contest. Their decisions will be final. All
questions, comments, and scoring disputes may be directed to Land of Oz or Darque
Forces via diplo in DM 47. Managers with internet access may send a private message
to [The Consortium] or [Darque] on the Duel2 Forums. Lastly, you may also email
questions, comments, and scoring disputes to rebelnerfherder at yahoo dot com or
wfms101 at aol dot com.
Please note there have been rule changes from the last Turf War. Please read them
carefully!
This contest will begin in November 2010 following the Fall Mail In.

BLOODGAMES at the SUMMER FACE-TO-FACE
Back by popular demand, we will be having Bloodgames at the Summer FTF! For those of
you who always wanted the chance to manage the last warrior standing alive upon the
arena sands, your day has come. At the end of the ten turns, even though several
warriors, bruised and scarred, MAY yet live, only one will be crowned Champion of the
Bloodgames. And in this game mere survival counts for little. A great general once
said, "The object of battle is not to die for your cause, but to make your enemy die
for his." This general would have greatly enjoyed the Duelmasters Bloodgames. There
will be two different arenas:
DM 98: for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies, and
DM 99: for all managers, with one strategy for all ten rounds
Gameplay proceeds according to standard DM rules, except for a few notable exceptions:
BLOODGAMES ROLLUP -- Your Bloodgames team is ten warriors, one of each fighting
style, each warrior designed from scratch! (All is 84 points, 3-21, as usual.)
DEATH -- As the name implies, the Bloodgames will leave the arena sands somewhat darker
before they're over. It's a dangerous sport intended only for the tough and spirited.
The Arenamaster will be less likely to intercede on behalf of a dying warrior. Even
at a 1 kill desire, kill attempts will occur.
REPLACEMENTS AND ROLLUPS -- There will be no replacement characters.
CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES -- In DM 98, there no regular challenges, only bloodfeuds.
For DM 99, warriors may not change their strategy from round to round (to make it fair
for those who could not attend the F-t-F). There will be no DA challenges.
TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- If you are not attending the FTF, we must have your
rollups and strategies by Wednesday, July 7, else they are due by 9pm on Friday, at
the hotel. The Bloodgames will process at the FTF with the regular tournament.
MISSED TURNS -- All warriors fight each round. Only the dead may rest.
ERRORS -- If we make an input error, that warrior will be awarded a win and kill.
Errors must be reported before the next turn processes.
NEWSLETTER -- Warriors are ranked according to their number of kills. Champions of
Bloodgames may write a column for the newsletter at the end of the games.
FEES -- A Bloodgames rollup costs a $10 set-up fee. Managers may roll up more than
one team but may run only one team in each arena. The fee for all ten rounds is $49.
AWARDS -- The Bloodgames last ten rounds. Only warriors who survive to the end of
Turn 10 will be eligible for an award. However, a consolation award of a Bloodgames
T-shirt will be awarded to the dead warrior with the most kills.
The living warrior with the greatest number of kills will be the Bloodgames Champion.
Bloodgames Victor titles, 2nd and 3rd place, and Bloodgames Runner-up titles, 4th
through 6th place, will be awarded to those living warriors with the greatest number
of kills at the end of Turn 10, with one other important consideration: Each of these
six warriors must be of a different fighting style. Win/loss records and, if
necessary, recognition points will only be used to determine awards if there is a tie.
A Bloodgames T-shirts will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills.
The Bloodgames Champion fights for free in Advanced Duelmasters, and all Champions and
Victors earn Tournament Victor status, which allows them to challenge once per turn
with increased priority. These awards last for six months. The manager of the
Bloodgames Champion, Victors, and Runners-up will receive Bloodgames T-shirts.
AFTERMATH -- Warriors from the Bloodgames may not transfer to any other arena. Once
the games are over, the arena and teams will be disbanded. The fighters have won
their freedom and will never more be seen in the gladiatorial games. A special bonus
will, however, be awarded to the 1st through 3rd place warriors. Lady Sheila
Greywand, of the Isle of the Eye, has consented to allow the top three surviving
gladiators in each Bloodgames admission to the Advanced Duelmasters Games. Any
special training required to qualify those three warriors for Advanced Duelmasters
combat will be conducted before transfer into A.D. Astute managers will note that
this means a slim, but possible chance that a warrior designed from scratch will
survive the Bloodgames, win one of the top three places, and go on to glory in A.D.
That warrior could be yours!
The challenge is yours to take. The final plans are yours to make.
When the dust settles, remember: To the victor goes the spoils!
