TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Lady Protectors Granted a Mission
by Hammer the WordSmith
TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under
heaven: -- Ecclesiastes 3:1 Amplified Bible
Hammer, GrimmDorr and ElGon the Half Elf were gathered together in the secluded
War Room Chamber deep beneath the catacombs laced underneath Hammerz Flowered Shoppe.
Each was enjoying a generous tankard of Elven Ginger Ale as ElGon recounted his
recent profits and losses from his Madness Wagerz booth in the light of Venus Trap
Hammer having graduated from Morya Arena and now Black Rose Hammer having received
her graduation notice from the Gladiatorial Commission.
"Things look bad enough for my future wagering efforts what with the dismal
records of Briar Stem Hammer, Thorn Stem Hammer and Poison Ivy Hammer," sputtered
ElGon as he poured more Elven Ginger Ale for himself and his friends. "But this poor
excuse for a warrior Stink Moss Hammer should be dispatched immediately to the Dark
Arena in favor of a possibly better replacement. Would you not agree GrimmDorr?"
The Dwarven Gladiator Trainer scratched his beard thoughtfully and grunted
before taking another swig from his tankard. He set a wary eye towards ElGon and
raised an eyebrow towards his friend Hammer.
The veteran manager sipped his tankard seemingly absent mindedly, forcing the
Dwarf to speak his mind before Hammer would decide what to do with the new recruit
that the Gladiatorial Commission had sanctioned as a replacement for the graduated
Ripper.
"I suppose most managers would dispatch the new meat to the Dark Arena without
batting an eye," snorted the Dwarf as he inhaled his drink and exhaled an amused
sigh, "but we all know that friend Hammer is quite unpredictable when it comes to
decisions regarding his stable fodder for the arena sands!"
Hammer gripped his tankard of Elven Ginger Ale with both hands as he gazed
thoughtfully at the gladiator trainer, his eyes hidden within his Elven Cloak of
Concealment as the veteran manager chuckled to himself.
"I suppose I could make something of this new recruit," snorted GrimmDorr as he
slowly and deliberately drained his tankard before sliding it across the table in the
direction of the fuming Half Elf. "Besides, friend ElGon will find a way to make a
profit from this stinker Stink Moss Hammer whether she lives or dies!"
ElGon glared at the Warrior Dwarf as he poured another round for his friend,
then slid the tankard back towards GrimmDorr before turning his attention to the
veteran manager who always had the final say in these matters when Hammer was
gathered with them.
As the Half Elf played with a handful of gold coins, Hammer leaned forward in
such a manner that precluded the veteran manager had indeed reached a final decision
on the matter that could possibly prolong the life of this new recruit that did not
seem to have much of a successful future as an arena gladiator in the Flowered
Hammerz stable.
"This new recruit Stink Moss Hammer intrigues me," purred the veteran manager as
he took another slow, but thoughtful, sip from his tankard of Elven Ginger Ale.
"Perhaps the replacement for Black Rose Hammer will be better suited for a winning
record than this potential Dark Arena meat seems to offer my stable. Nonetheless,
she will serve a purpose yet unknown to me. I can feel it in my bones!"
GrimmDorr and ElGon nodded their consent as they caught the gleam in the eye of
the veteran manager, then began pounding the table with their fists and tankards as
all three friends roared with hearty laughter at the decision each knew was
inevitable.
"I will dispatch Black Rose Hammer to the Dark Arena instead," said Hammer
matter-of-factly as he pushed his tankard towards ElGon for another round of the
delicious Elven Ginger Ale that the veteran manager was so fond of drinking. "You
should be able to turn quite a profit at your Madness Wagerz booth when your clients
discover that the reigning DuelMistress fights by torch light with her favorite
weapon instead of the Great Axe that has killed the unfortunate Blood Hawk of Dodge
Bullets and defeated all of her recent opponents since her ascension to the Morya
Arena Throne!"
ElGon jumped up on the table and danced a victory jig, his face brightened with
glee at the prospect of fleecing some treasure from the unexpected Dark Arena
Challenge sanctioned by the veteran manager. This also meant more coin from his
clients as they would make their bets upon who would be matched for a Title Battle
and who the new Morya Arena DuelMaster would be in the wake of Black Rose Hammer
vacating the Throne via the Dark Arena!
GrimmDorr snorted and guffawed until he fell out on the floor with
uncontrollable laughter at the sight of the Half Elf rejoicing over his unexpected
good fortune.
Once the merriment had subsided, Hammer the Morya MadMan raised his tankard of
Elven Ginger Ale to his friends and proclaimed, "Send Stink Moss Hammer to the
Sisters of the Sword Sanctum Sanctorum to Begin Her Adventure on the Morya Arena
Sands!"
[TIME JUMP]
The blonde haired, green eyed Venus Trap Hammer introduced the shy and seemingly
intimidated Stink Moss Hammer to her new sisters, hidden somewhere in the bowels of
the massive tunnel complex deep beneath Hammerz Flowered Gardenz Morya Manor Estate
on the Lake in their exclusive Sisters of the Sword Sanctum Sanctorum.
It was the duty of the newly graduated Ripper to acquaint her replacement with
her teammates and to help orient her to her new surroundings, plus instruct her as to
her duties as a newly anointed Sister of the Sword.
The black haired, blue eyed Slasher who was testing the mettle of a newly forged
Battle Axe would soon follow the same ritual with her new replacement, once Black
Rose Hammer had faced the Dark Arena Monster she was to face by Torch Light. She
counted it an honor and a privilege to be called upon for the unexpected Dark Arena
Challenge!
Stink Moss Hammer was welcomed into the fold by Briar Stem Hammer, Thorn Stem
Hammer and Poison Ivy Hammer excitedly describing the rigors of the gladiator
training overseen by GrimmDorr the Warrior Dwarf that the new recruit would be
subjected to in the matter of a few short minutes!
Venus Trap Hammer handed her replacement a specially engraved weapon from the
weapon room to begin her training and to prepare for her first Morya Arena sand
dance.
"Uuuuhhh... how do I use this weapon?" questioned Stinkk Moss Hammer as she
quizzically gazed around the room at her new teammates. "Uuuuhhh... who can show
me... what to do... with this... thingie?"
The chamber was immediately filled with musical laughter and giggles from her
Sisters of the Sword as they watched Stink Moss Hammer trying to fathom the use of
the weapon that Venus Trap Hammer had selected for her.
"GRIMMDORR WILL SHOW YOU NOW," bellowed the Warrior Dwarf as he beckoned his new
charge to follow him to her private training chamber!
[TIME JUMP]
SomeWhere in a Dark Dimension BeYond the Realms of ElseWhere and ElseWhen a
Goblinoid Commander was trembling with increasingly greater trepidation under the
continual interrogation of his Commanding Officer: "So this Hammer managed to escape
our traps after discovering we have the means to transverse our armies between
dimensions?"
The Goblinoid Commander hung his head, trembling in terror, as he mumbled some
sort of incoherent response... before being hacked to pieces by his Commanding
Officer who simultaneousy spewed forth the following order amidst the splattered
gore: "Make Ready a War Party to Pursue this Hammer... WherEver He Maay Be!"
[TIME JUMP]
Venus Trap Hammer and Black Rose Hammer were ushered into the War Room Chamber
somewhere beneath the Hammerz Flowered Shoppe to meet with the veteran manager before
the Slasher was to make her way to the nearby Morya Arena for her impending Dark
Arena Challenge!
"I have a Special Mission for the two of you to spearhead for me the day after
tomorrow... or at least within the next few days," explained Hammer as he greeted
each of the newly anointed Lady Protectors with a fatherly kiss on the forehead.
The Ripper and the Slasher looked at each other and then back to the veteran
manager as Hammer continued his unexpected explanation:
"There is a threat of danger in the air... and... I needeed to dispatch a
small... war party... from the Dwarfs Militia... ia to investigate... and quite
possibly... eliminate nate... the danger... if what I suspect... is true!
Therefoerefore... One of you... will be appointed Leader... and thnd the other... as
Second in Command... but I know not... ib if this mission... will keep you free...
from death... since you both will be... far removed... from the Grey Lady dy... and
her Isle... of Immortality!"
Venus Trap Hammer and Black Rose Hammer each gracefully bowed to the veteran
manager and swore their allegiance to both Hammer and one another to fulfill the
mission that they would be entrusted to undertake.
"By defeating Crictor Ungerer from the stable of Le Pentarque b& in such a
convincing manner... Venus Trap Hammer has proven hersself worthy of the leadership
role for this mission... however... I will give Black Rose Hammer the honor... if she
proves herselff worthy... by slaying the Dark Arena Monster... convincingly ly enough
for my Dwarfs Militia... to follow... to theo the death... if need be... no matter
what dangers... they they may face... should it be... unexpected... and perhapsrhaps
quite... necessary...."
"May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper!"

Where things stood when I ran out of steam and time several months ago:
The laws that bind the Spirit Land have been violated and the passage of the
souls of the dead into their proper realms is being interfered with. Many souls are
vanishing entirely, rendering them unavailable for resurrection or rebirth.
Ahringol, who is the god of the Dead and not of death, is alarmed, shamans are
alarmed, many priests and magicians are alarmed.
Suspicion fell naturally on the practitioners of necromantic magic. Interfering
with souls is, after all, what they do. That problem, however, is not new--there
have always been necromancers, and a few souls have always fallen to them over the
ages. Now, though, the scale is wholly new, and investigation finally placed the
center of the problem in Kurukar, in the court of the Black Kaliv. Attempts to
infiltrate that court and discover the identity of the perpetrator have so far
failed, with the infiltrators vanishing or falling wholly under the control of the
dark mage.
The situation was further complicated by an increase in the presence and
activities of Dark Creatures, intruders into the Waking World from uncharted
dimensions beyond the Spirit Land.
A plan was conceived. First, it was determined that the Dark Creatures were
coming through a Door that should have been sealed. While not actually in Kurukar,
the Door in question was believed to have connections with that place. If the Door
could be closed and sealed again, this would reduce the flood of Dark Creatures to
the former trickle and, possibly, reduce the power of the main Necromancer involved.
The Door could only be approached through the Spirit Land, and that journey
would be dangerous, more than dangerous. Three parties set out to reach the Door,
taking three different routes, in the hopes that some of them would arrive. The
gladiators Redfox of Dullens and Blackwind of Malcorn, the gladiators Young Joan of
Morya and Necromancer (called Necroma to distinguish her from the enemy) of Lin
Tirian. The gladiator Math op Owan of Murska, the manager-shaman Uncle Wolf, and the
Lord of Malcorn himself, who alone of them has the power to seal the Door once it is
closed, have successfully reached the Door.
And there matters were left.
Now we continue....
The gladiators all stared at each other with relief. Redfox had an impulse to
hug someone--Young Joan or Necroma for choice--but hesitated. Joan he knew slightly,
and she was not one to allow liberties. She grinned and hugged him quickly, then the
older gladiator, Math op Owain, and cast a speculative look at Uncle Wolf, who
scowled.
Blackwind had no such qualms and threw a friendly arm around Necroma. He looked
at Wolf and Lord Malcorn. "What happens now?"
Malcorn looked across the valley at the Door. It was huge, twenty or thirty
feet tall and nearly as wide, the two halves standing open on flame-shot darkness.
No living creatures were visible. "Now we shut the Door," he said, "and there will
be resistance--"
"Should you say that?" Necroma asked. "Expectations shape what we meet in the
Spirit Land, and you could be creating trouble just by expecting it."
"Some trouble exists here without a mortal's expectations," Uncle Wolf said.
"And we are no longer precisely in the Spirit Lands. Here in the Valley, the rules
change again."
She groaned. "I really hate that. I wish the rules would just... be what they
are, whatever they are, and not change when someone takes two steps in a different
direction! How can you plan anything if--"
"You develop a knack for it," the old shaman said, "or you get into a different
line of work."
Blackwind saw that the young woman was going to argue further and spoke quickly
to cut her off; they didn't need arguments here and now. "One thing I've been
wondering. I understand about the different routes to make sure at least some of us
got here. But you and Lord Malcorn are the only ones who know how to close this
Door--I'm guessing it isn't just a case of walking up and swinging it shut. If you
didn't make it, what would be the point in us arriving?"
"You would have figured something out," Uncle Wolf said. "Each of you was
chosen--by me or by circumstances--because you are a person who finishes any job he
begins. Or she begins," he added quickly, seeing Young Joan frown.
Lord Malcorn sighed and straightened, seeming even taller now than his seven-
and-a-half foot height. Darker than his black hair and swarthy skin had seemed when
Blackwind had seen him on the streets back in Malcorn. There, he had been
affectionately known to his subjects as "Blackie." Here... with some kind of power
rising in him, he could only be Lord Malcorn. He was beginning to look big enough
and strong enough to close that massive Door unaided.
"They're coming," he said.
Without thought, responding to the same trained impulse, every gladiator present
drew his or her sword, turning to face outward from their group.
Blackwind more than half expected to see floods demons and monsters pouring
toward them from every direction. If so, they must be invisible, all he could see
were the shadows that filled the valley. He squinted. "Is it my imagination, or is
it getting darker here?" That would be bad. Darkness would make it harder to fight.
"Valley of Shadow," Math op Owain said. "We should have realized--"
"So you should," Uncle Wolf answered. "In this place, the shadows are as
dangerous as what casts them."
"More dangerous," Lord Malcorn corrected.
The old shaman shrugged and nodded. "Perhaps. At that level of danger, the
distinction is unimportant."
"How do we fight shadows?" Redfox asked. "You must have had something in mind,
or you wouldn't have drawn us here."
"The light is behind the... creatures that cast the shadows," Wolf pointed out.
"That makes the shadows advance toward you, ahead of the creatures. You must make of
yourselves lights to drive the shadows back on their creators."
"How can we--?"
"No, 'Fox, I think I see what he means!" Math drew the gladiators aside. "Come
over out of the way, and I'll tell you. Let them deal with the Door."
"He's right," Necroma said before Math could begin his explanation. "We *are*
lights if we know it." She paused, selecting words. "Here, even if it isn't exactly
the Spirit Lands, the spirit is what matters the most. Sure, we're here physically--
and we can die physically--but just as the body dominates in the Mortal World, so the
spirit dominates here. If our spirits are strong and bright, they'll be like lights
here!"
"That's easy to *say*, and it sounds good," Blackwind objected, "but what are we
supposed to *do*?"
"It's like... ah! Like the meditation exercises they teach us on the Isle, to
increase our Will or our Wit," Math said. "That kind of focus, but we concentrate on
light and life and warmth--"
"Well put," Necroma said. "And we'd better do it right now."
"Not forgetting," Young Joan was actually beginning to glow as she concentrated,
"that we will have to deal with physical creatures once we have vanquished the
shadows."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Farewell to the Minions of Morya Arena --
This is my last opportunity to enjoy the View from the Top before I go to the
Dark Arena!
Hammer seems to think that it would be more sporting for me to make the Dark
Arena Challenge and leave the Morya Arena Throne vacated for the winner of this
turn's Title Battle and I agree!
Ironically, it seems I have recently defeated all my opponents with a Great Axe
and it turns out that I am actually naturally adept with the Battle Axe! Plus I have
only achieved an Advanced Expert rating in both Initiative and Attack skills!
Not too bad for a 12-13-7-15-16-10-11 Slasher!
I also have a Fighting Rhythm which favors a Very High Offensive Effort and a
Low Activity Level, while having an innate sense for learning the forms of Defensive
Actions!
Hammer points out that his newly graduated Ripper possesses the same innate
sense as me!
Venus Trap Hammer 15-13-7-21-7-4-17 is naturally adept with the ShortSword and
favors a Low Offensive Effort and a Low Activity Level, while achieving an Expert
rating in Initiative, a Master rating in Riposte and Advanced Expert ratings in
Attack, Parry and Defense!
She and I seem to be the Best of the Bunch as our Sisters of the Sword in the
Lower Brackets all have losing records!
Stink Moss Hammer is scheduled to make her arena debut as I make my exit via the
Dark Arena and from what Hammer, GrimmDorr and ElGon have to say about her it would
be a surprise if she manages a winning record or even survives on the Morya Arena
sands!
Hopefully my replacement will be able to continue the legacy of a winning
tradition and battle her way to the Morya Arena Throne!
Hammer has been hinting that perhaps Venus Trap Hammer and yours truly (Black
Rose Hammer) will be sent out on a special mission since we are both now immune to
death as newly anointed Lord Protectorates!
For those of you who may be griping or raising an eyebrow at my lengthy
discourse, may I remind you that from the looks of my teammates, it may be many long
months or perhaps even a year or two before another Flowered Hammerz gladiator is
able to ascend the Morya Arena Throne to Enjoy the View from the Top!
My Special Thanks to every gladiator who made it possible for me to graduate!
Now I must prepare to Battle by Torch Light and score one more Kill than my
sister Venus Trap Hammer!
-- Black Rose Hammer, the newly anointed Lady Protectorate now vacating the Morya
Arena Throne
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, MORYA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight,
for there are sorrows to drown for PHANTACITY, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by
6 into 9th. Ha! MY GENERATION turned their 2-2-0 turn into a 3rd place rank in the
listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see THORN STEM HAMMER win a fight and gain 25 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, THORN STEM HAMMER beat CLOUDRIDER and CLOUDRIDER lost 19 points.
You're breakin' my heart. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster SHEWISH GIANT
Dark Arena Challenged this turn. The crowds were amazed this turn, as SHEWISH GIANT
killed the Duelmaster, BLACK ROSE HAMMER, leaving FLOWERED HAMMERZ in mourning. This
incredible death has allowed, I might add, TEZCATLIPOCA from THE PENTARCHY to ascend
to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy. Salty's Chowder
House, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff?
From MORYA's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. MORYA,
I am losing what little hope I had in you. FORCE OF FIVE the most avoided team?
What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like SONS OF MARS avoided them
the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm
frightfully impressed, TAXES was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego
swell, sports fans. I guess I can give a little credit to POSTAGE of EXPENSE ACCOUNT
for challenging up by 20 to CASCELLA. POSTAGE lost to get 57 points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for MORYA's
morgue. More variety. Nipped in the bud, you might say, was PAINTBALL JUNKY of MY
GENERATION this turn. Course, I wouldn't say that, so much as have a belly laugh.
Heh heh. It's about time THERIAULT got beat for picking on warriors like POP TARGET.
Bravo, DODGE BULLETS. See you at Salty's Chowder House. A big yahoo goes out to
PUBLIUS CLAUDIUS this turn, for revenging SONS OF MARS' bloodfeud against MY
GENERATION's warrior PAINTBALL JUNKY. Heh, heh, heh. We're all going to die in the
end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must
leave now-- Snide Clemens

Black Rose Hammer -- Congratulations on your hammered Duelmastership and your
flowered Lord Protectorship. We Expense Accounts salute you. -- Finance Manager,
Expense Accounts
Colgate Smile -- You dazzled me into submission. Stunning! Oh, for the days of
"Brushy, brushy, brushy; here's the new Ipana." -- Accrued Interest, Expense Accounts
Electric Boogaloo -- It was your day to pay the piper. In our generation, you would
have been "Let's Do The Twist." -- Taxes, Expense Accounts
Pyrite -- I guess you could say I put you on the slow boat to China. But, then, you
are nothing but a fool. (wink) -- Postage, Expense Accounts
Storm Lord and My Generation -- Nice meeting you this turn with a win on both sides.
Glad to have you in the arena. I am sure we will see more of each other. May your
stay in Morya be long and prosperous. -- Finance Manager, Expense Accounts
P.S. Great dinner in Orlando, eh?
Le Pentarque -- Holidays?! They give you holidays? No wonder we are all spending so
much money. (wink) -- Finance Manager
P.S. Welcome back.
Lizard -- UPS Ground??!! No, no! Give me another chance. -- Postage, Expense
Accounts
Ouch. That Black Rose is not sweet. -- Crictor, kicked out of the arena...
Hmmm... that Imperial assault was not very successful... better luck next time! -- Le
Pentarque
Welcome, Storm Lord, always nice to see a talkative newcomer in our beautiful arena.
-- LP
Anferrous -- Seems like this is the second time one of us has rearranged your face
and you still won't go down! -- Chandalen
Patte de Saguar -- Just started to have you on the ropes. I don't know how I let you
snatch that back! -- Scarlet
White Bect -- I'm getting into a rut of underperforming when going against you guys.
I think I've been cursed. -- Jennsen
Venus Trap Hammer -- That was one trap I was more tahn ready to get out of. --
Cascella
Sabretooth -- I thought you were know only for teeth. Shouldn't you have something
pointed, not flat? -- Theriault
Postage -- You know, I think I could lick you with a little forethought. -- -- Pyrite
Lily of Sarmatia -- For a minute, I thought I had you plucked. Ah well. -- Garrot
Chandalen -- NOT THIS time, D'Haran! -- Anferrous
Tezcatlipoca --Geez, no wonder you have two kills! Your name's enough to choke
someone alone. -- Valerian
Congrats on holding the throne and achieving the isle, Black Rose. Force of Five,
that was a marvelous turn. Terrible turn for ol' me, but at least the team vet held
up *wry grin*. Storm lord? The same I met in Chimlevetal? Well met, and good luck.
-- Michael Eldritch
Morya Maniacs -- I passed by Home Base several days ago and picked up my newsletters!
Please refer to the DuelMasters Column for information regarding gladiator graduates
Venus Trap Hammer and Black Rose Hammer. -- Hammer the Morya MadMan
Finance Manager -- Glad you are enjoying the Spots! I still have a couple days to
get one written and sent to the Gladiatorial Commission for this turn! Hopefully the
creative juices will flow and I will get a Spot written! -- Hammer the WordSmith
<glad to be back and glad you are glad too!>
P.S. I do derive Great Satisfaction in having both Venus Trap Hammer and now Black
Rose Hammer surviving and graduating from Morya Arena! Fighting in ADM is not in
their foreseeable futures, but I am considering featuring them in some Spots!
Storm Lord and My Generation -- Welcome to Morya Arena! Stink Moss Hammer makes her
debut in the Initiates this turn and next turn should provide another of my new
gladiators in the Initiates to possibly cross blades with your warriors in future
months! -- Hammer
Le Pentarque -- Indeed it is good to be back Home! Now that the Brightest and Best
of my stable have graduated it may be a while before I have a worthy opponent for
your fabled stable! As for your gift of a win for Venus Trap Hammer I see you are
still the Jokester! -- Hammer
Ghost of Blood Hawk -- At least you did not suffer a lingering death in the
infirmary! -- Black Rose Hammer
Scarlet -- To think you lost that Challenge and I did not even slice your head with
my favorite weapon! -- Venus Trap Hammer
Sabretooth -- My throat and body are still sore from your Challenge! -- Thorn Stem
Hammer
Juggernaut -- You almost bit off more than you could chew on that Challenge! -- Briar
Stem Hammer
Gladiatorial Commission -- Briar Stem Hammer is a Female and Not a Male as written in
the fights! -- Hammer
Unfortunately, the Commission clerks don't read the newsletters.
Dr Doom -- I see you enjoy Challenging my stable! Looks like my less than stellar
warriors have many long months to look forward to crossing blades with your
gladiators unless you can find some way to slay them on the Morya Arena sands! --
Hammer
Garrot -- I am glad that you were not slain on the sands! Hammer finds your Style to
be his Favorite! Early losses for your Style are not out of the ordinary! -- Poison
Ivy Hammer
Juggernaut -- At least you did not Challenge me again! Whacked Me One Time! I
failed to swing against you! Now do you think you have what it takes to Kill Me? --
Briar Stem Hammer
Lizard -- Your Challenge left me with a sore arm, sore knee and sore ankle! If I
manage to survive this turn I better change my strategy! -- Thorn Stem Hammer
Epsom salts are good, too.
Porcupine -- Time to change my strategy and see if I suffer a similar outcome if we
match up again! -- Poison Ivy Hammer
Cascella -- You were fortunate to survive the near death in the infirmary! Count Your
Blessings that Hammer was unaware that neither of my weapons were my favorite! --
Venus Trap Hammer the newly anointed Lady Protector
Crictor Ungerer -- How satisfying to know that you graduate from Morya Arean a
Defeated Foe! More Satisfying that I retain the Throne and am granted Immortality
without using my favorite weapon! Positively Most Satisfying that you are from the
stable of Le Pentarque! -- Black Rose Hammer the newly anointed Lady Protector and
DuelMistress of Morya Arena
Le Pentarque -- Looks like our warriors will be next meeting in Initiates! Stink
Moss Hammer is a STINKER! You should be able to Kill Her! Perhaps my replacement
for Black Rose Hammer will be of much better quality like those Flowered Hammerz who
first graced Morya Arena! -- Hammer
Finance Manager -- Hammer has indeed taught me my Killer instincts! Hammer now sends
me to the Dark Arena to test my favorite weapon! -- Black Rose Hammer
Oz the All Advertizing -- Thanks for the Special Invitation Announcement inviting all
Morya Arena managers to the upcoming Turf War! I will Not be participating for
personal reasons! -- Hammer
Crictor Ungerer -- Congratulations on Graduating! -- Hammer and Flowered Hammerz
Jorja and Dodge Bullets -- Thanks for the Graduation Congratulations! -- Hammer and
Venus Trap Hammer
Michael Eldritch -- No Shame upon Black Rose Hammer! GimLee has sent the appropriate
flowers for your Stupid Pugilist dying in the Dark Arena! -- Hammer
Morya Maniacs -- See if you have what it takes to eliminate Stink Moss Hammer! --
Hammer the Morya MadMan
Morya Maniacs -- Uuuuhhh.... Brinng It On! -- Stink Moss Hammer
Boomerang -- Right, I was beating you face to face, or at least I had a chance, so
you snuck around and hit me from behind. This is so frustrating! -- Madeline
Garrot -- I don't have a problem with garrots, I just throw 'em in the pot with the
other veggies, cook 'em up, and then, ahem, throw them out. Or feed them to my
horse. My horse is quite fond of garrots. -- Lily of Sarmatia
Cincinnatus -- How come you're not Roman? The Commission lists that. Strictly
speaking, it isn't a race, much less a species, but what the hey. -- Cloudrider
Brz -- Ah... shouldn't you have a vowel in there somewhere? -- Gopher Broke the
confused
Marcus Marcellus -- Aha! You ARE listed as Roman! Good, that's proper. I like
things to be proper. -- Pop Target
P.S. And I apologize to your teammate Cincinnatus for my teammate Cloudrider's fox
paw. These kid Targets don't have much patience.
Accrued Interest -- That's the problem with getting old. Not enough pop, and way too
much target. -- Pop Target
Our congratulations to Black Rose Hammer, the departing killer. -- Jorja and Dodge
Bullets

THE TURF WAR IS HERE AGAIN!!!!!
*************************************************************************************
*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.
