Mugs Raised in Mourning: Part 1
*I was supposed to spotlight this last turn, so keep that in mind when reading.*
The scene opens in the empty Dark Arena. The bloodthirsty patrons are gone, the
ravenous beasts are chained down below, but the smell of death still lingers about in
the putrid air. In the blood darken sands of the pit, amongst the scattered debris
of broken weapons and served limbs. A group of three strangers gather over a pound
of flesh they once called their teammate.. Their friend.. Their companion.. One of
the female figures turns away from the grizzly site, the tears that flow down her
frail face can be seen shimmering in the moonlight. Another one this time a male
figure steps forward and kneels down to salute his fallen comrade and say his good-
byes. The solace these warriors must feel have no words or bounds. They silence
says it all. The loss of this poor soul will be mourned...
Rewrite: "Woooweee! Thats em troll dids a numberz on itz alrightz."
That is if this was any other team except Will Duel 4 Mead. The trio all stands
arounds the flesh mound with their Froth & Slosh Slurpies in hand.
Rewrite: "Knocks the sh**z out of Gooz literlies."
He points over to the still steaming pile of feces mixed with entrails a few
feet away.
Tomo: "That was the most brutal, disgusting, and uncivilized taking of
another's life I have ever witness. I couldn't turn away! I'm almost sad it's
over."
Rewrite pokes the carcass with a stick.
Rewrite: "Youz almost gots to feels sorries for itz. The ways Goos just kinds
of stoodz therez those lasts fewz minutes getting whackeds overs and overs."
Tomo: "It was already dead on its feet by then. I figured you knew since that
one blow to the head in the fifth scatter it's brains all over the first three rows.
Which you were sitting in bye the way."
Rewrite: "Likes a chickenz with itz heads cutz off. Itz almosts mades mez want
to puts down mez brew... Almosts."
Just then Kyoko turns back to the group and wipes the tears away from her cheek.
Rewrite: "Oh comes on manager. Youz can'ts tells mez youz actuallys going to
mizz Gooz?"
Kyoko hauls off and slaps the grimaces off Rewrite's ugly mug.
Rewrite: "Ooowwwzzzzz..."
Kyoko: "Don't be a imbecile! These aren't tears of sadness! Their tears of
joy! It's gone! Just think of it. No more of the glutton eating every scrap of
food in sight. No more slobbering cretin chewing on your good armor and rusting it.
No more of it leaving little 'surprises' behind its wake to clean up. No more of the
putrid aroma emanating from all places."
Rewrite takes a whiff under his arm, and shrugs it off.
Kyoko: "None of it! We're free! WE'RE FREE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
Kyoko runs off into the darkness hysterical laughter.
Tomo: "You know, sometimes I worry about her."
Rewrite: "Ain't nuffing a good nites lovin's woulds fixs."
Tomo kneels down and begins to stab the remains over and over with a dagger.
Tomo: "You know I will miss this though. Goo was the only one that would let
me take out angst on. The rest of you cry like babies."
Rewrite: "Thats because yourz stabbings uz with a knifes womans!"
Tomo: "Goo never said a peep."
Rewrite: "Thats becausez the singals for pains would takes so much times
gettings to itz brains, itz woulds get losts on the ways therez."
Tomo: "True enough. Well that's enough reminiscing. Goo you may have been the
scourge of our existence, but everyone deserve at least one for the road. Adieu."
Tomo pours the remainder of her mug on the remains.
Tomo: "Rewrite pour the rest yours as well. It's bad luck if you don't."
A stream of liquid pours of the carcass. Tomo's face turns in puzzlement as the
mead has a unusual smell about it and the fact that it's producing steam. Her gaze
rising upwards to find Rewrite relieving himself.
Tomo: "OH THAT'S SICK!!"
Tomo stands up and storms off, as Rewrite pulls up his draws and chases after
her.
Rewrite: "Youz said pourz the rests. I'ves finisheds mez mug threez minutes
agos."
Rewrite catches up with Tomo.
Rewrite: "Wells besides thes points. Itz was a nice services. Don'ts ya
thinks?"
Tomo: "Whatever. But I like to know where Fluffy is at. We had to show up for
this farce, why the hell didn't he?"
Rewrite taps Tomo on the shoulder and points to the far end of the arena. Where
we see Fluffy tied and gagged to a post, struggling to get free. Goliath his donkey
is tethered aside him, awaiting the events of the next day.
Tomo: "Pink slips in this business are brutal."
Rewrite: "Yep."
Tomo: "Sucks to be him. Lets hit the bar."
Rewrite: "Nows yourz talkings mez lanuages."
Tomo: "Is that even possible?..."
The two walk out of the arena into the mist of the morn.

Winds of Change
It was sunny, but cold early morning, with a chilling wind blowing down the
streets of Lapur. Two cloaked men slowly walked down the cobblestone, the wind at
their backs causing their cloaks to wrap around them tightly. The shorter of the two
slowed his pace looking around at the buildings, "This place looks nothing like I
remember it," he murmured to himself.
Overhearing his companion, he looked over and nodded in agreement, "Yes it has
changed Kalimac, but what do you expect it has been nearly a decade since you were
last here and nearly as long for me as well."
Turning slightly to replied as the wind caught his hood uncovering his head, "I
had forgotten it had been that long." Quickly he reached up and pulled the hood back
into place as they continued down the street. Reaching the end of the block they
spotted their destination and paused.
Stepping around the corner to get out of the breeze, the taller one reached
inside his cloak and pulled out a handful of parchments. Looking through them he then
handed several to Kalimac, "Take these and get everything squared away, then meet me
at the house.' Grasping the scrolls tightly in his hands, he nodded and headed
across the street as ordered.
Standing in front of the old house, he was pleasantly surprised at how good of
shape it was in. He smiled to himself, "I knew my choice of Dirmael to watch over my
interests here was a wise decision."
Slowly he walked up the steps onto the porch, before trying the door knob.
"Hmmm locked," he wondered to himself.
Peaking in a window he saw the fireplace burning away with a warm fire, before
stepping back to the door and giving it a firm knock. After waiting a moment he
whispered to himself, "Well so much for surprising them. Guess I will have to wait
them out."
Having a seat in the nearest chair, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a
bag of tobacco and rolled himself a quick smoke. Propping his feet up on the rail, he
settled in.
About thirty minutes later he could hear Kalimac's voice, followed by familiar
laugh. Kalimac and Dirmael came up the walk, "Good to see you sir," replied Dirmael
with a big grin on his face. "I knew I would be seeing you soon, after your message
to send Tarondar to the tourney a few months ago."
The Visionist rose up from his now warm chair and offered his hand to the
Lapurian Lord Protector. "Good to see you as well old friend," he returned smiling.
"How about we get inside out of this cold weather."
Dirmael carried three mugs of warm cider into the parlor, handing one to each to
his guests and one for himself. "This will help warm us up."
"I see you have kept things in order here," stated the Mid Earth guild manager
after taking a sip.
"Other than keeping the men out of mischief and getting them to continue to
train, everything has been pretty easy sir."
Pointing towards his associate, "Well that won't be a problem anymore, Kalimac
will take over as the guild Weaponsmaster."
Kalimac flashed a sly grin at his old teammate, "We won't have to worry about
that again. Trust me."
"So will you be sending me back to the Isle sir?" asked Dirmael.
"Is that what you want?" he questioned.
"Ohh no sir I just assumed with you returning...."
The Visionist cut him off before he could finish, "Good, because I wanted you to
take over managing the guild for me permanently."
Caught off guard Dirmael half choked on his cider, before clearing his throat to
ask, "Are you serious sir."
"Of course I am serious. You have done a excellent job here Dirmael and I
confident with Kalimac's help you can handle things quite easily."
"Thank you, I would be honored," he answered earnestly.
"Does this mean you will be leaving us sir," interjected Kalimac.
"Possibly, I have heard rumors that their is to be a new arena opening that does
not allow tournament participation," he replied. "I have sent Gargantua and Rhuw
from the Isle to go check it out for me. I should receive a message from them soon."
Kalimac and Dirmael looked at each other slack jawed.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I was TIRED of rain, Down Pour. So I just said, "Let the rain stop," and you
DID.
Ladybug
P.S. I wish I could believe that would work another time....
SPY REPORT
Welcome LAPUR. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I
fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Hmmmph! I always thought
BLACK SAMURAI was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-3-0! Ya gotta be
quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! MID
EARTH is now ranked 2nd with a 4-1-0 turn. Some people say I ramble too much, I
don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well VENUSIANS moved up 3,
to 3rd. What's with HUNGER PANG? She actually beat BLACK SAMURAI's DAIHACHI, and
walked away with 31 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at VENUSIANS while
they watched CARINA clobber MISS CONDUCT II. She lost 25 points and got bruised from
objects thrown from the stands. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for FORCE OF
NATURE's outstanding member, Duelmaster DOWN POUR. Advice to fighters with a 1
will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
WILL DUEL 4 MEAD. In my day, no team with a 12-18-1 would scare me off! What's the
problem, ARMY OF DARKNESS? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged
warrior, HOFFA! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. MACHIGAI looked pretty sick and surprised when he
learned BLACK SAMURAI is sending him to the Dark Arena! Whadd'he expect with a
24-8-0? Some people in LAPUR think BLACK SAMURAI was too harsh when they sent
MACHIGAI (24-8-0) to the Dark Arena. Them's the breaks, I say. GOLDIE of STREET
WALKERS got 22 points for removing another young punk. Tough luck, CARDOW HUNTERS!
I like to see warriors put young whippersnappers in their place. I guess you could
say ARMY OF DARKNESS'HUNGER PANG did just that. Right BLACK SAMURAI? Better to die
a quick death in the prime of life than to endure an eternity of constant pain,
eternal boredom... Does BLACK SAMURAI agree? JON larned his lesson (RED LILY taught
it well), and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any CARDOW HUNTERS members
with the same gusto. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want
to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Carina -- I have be kinda surprising. -- Rosemary
Cezzaro -- My baby kinda gave me a bad name. I think I am very nice, personally.
Although I must admit that I can get a bit excitable sometimes. -- Rosemary
All -- Okay looks like we are past our hiccup for now. LET'S RUMBLE!! -- Master Beru
Lady Bug -- The last sentence in your column mirrors my philosophy except that I may
make changes to my strategy as attributes and skills increase every 5 to 10 fights.
-- Spartacus
Tye Foon -- A typhoon you're not. An exhaustive fighting style combined with no
armor can lead to more losses than wins, or not. -- Cicero
S' Tou -- Hope you appreciate the 5!! learns. -- Postumus
Beleg -- What a beating, a possible 5 crits out of 7 hits. What is more incredible
is that I survived. -- Aureolus
Snowshoe -- I took all those hits to wear you down. I would have had you in minute
4. -- Gallienus
Gallienus -- I'm tougher than I look...just not very smart. ;) -- Brickhouse
Sticket -- I made one challenge just to try and even our record, no more challenges
from me even if it doesn't go through. -- Brickhouse
Zero -- You're just so damn cute, the rest of us can't stay away. -- Mama
Syrma -- With the way you swung that broadsword I'm amazed you went night fighting.
I consider myself very lucky to get that win. -- Goldie Showers
Men -- While I do apologize for the death of Don....STOP HITTING ME IN THE CHEST!!!!!
I'm not sure I'm cut out for this gladiator thing and a girl's gotta have something
to fall back on. But every one seems to want to ruin my best assets. -- Miss Conduct
Mensa -- When I saw the match up I was expecting a loss and maybe a couple skills....
While I don't want to challenge you, I hope you do...more skills would be worth the
loss. You are a given a person that I won't forget. -- Mama
Little Milly -- Well you live up to your name. -- Goldie Showers
Ostoher V -- Perhaps is that a reference to the Dragon Lance series? Doesn't really
matter since you just schooled me big time. -- Dirty Sanchez
Tye Foon -- It's lately come to my attention that a couple of my combatants have been
larking it up by insulting you. You'll notice both have been sent to the Dark Arena.
Not because of the insults, of course. Me being a manager I wouldn't sully myself by
interfering in the squabbles of the staff. But in case you missed it, fighter, I
thought I'd point it out. -- Scion
Fluffy -- Guess I knew you last. Wow, for a DA fight the crowd sure seemed to go
bonkers. Must have been a slow day. <grin> -- Lil Mil
Red Lilly -- And a gracious howdy-do welcome it was too. <bow> -- Petunia
Miss Conduct II --The old cat's out of the old bag now, eh? What's a fellow to do?
Had to happen sooner or later, and I'll take the adulation. -- S'tou
Goldie -- The gang says I almost had you. M'not so sure, but keep beating the bushes
and you'll scare me up once more...some time or other...in the future. -- Little
Milly
Tye Foon -- You win. Something about houseplants and my inability to get the jump on
said kind. -- Buster
Postumus -- Weary and wary. Not sayin who's who but we sound like a vaudeville team.
<sigh> Island beaches with native girls is nice. -- S'tou
All -- Sorry for lack of personals last turn. Some personal things came up and I
just didn't have the heart to write anything. So pardon me if I play catch up this
turn with some of you. -- Sporkis, Manager of Will Duel 4 Mead
Your Mama -- The troll I met didn't feel like dancing apparently. *Plus the
Duskblood Troll's ax out of his head* Can you guess what he felt like doing!? --
Ghost of Fluffy
Little Milly -- I ain't so cute and cuddly anymore. -- Ghost of Fluffy (whose face,
along with the rest of his skull is forever more caved in by Duskblood Troll's ax)
Syrma -- Consolation? At least when you're slit from your groin to your neck by the
Dark Arena, you'll be getting away from your worst nightmare. I get trapped in mine,
stuck with my stablemate Goo for the rest of eternity.-- Ghost of Fluffy
Fluffy bunny...heeeee.... -- Ghost of Goo
I am not a rabbit you inbred orc troll! Let go! -- Ghost of Fluffy
Mizzy Conducks Jr. -- Pazing divid...divdid..wha? Ism thats yourz way of sayings I's
get a freebiez? -- Rewrite
Energizer Bunny -- Squeamish? No not at all. The doc says I'm one of those
hemophiliacs or something. Doesn't stop me from having fun though. I'm sure I'll
get a chance to even the score soon enough. -- Tomo-chan
Jason -- Understand? Yes. Forget? Unlikely. Forgive? You have better chances on
a double date with Rewrite. -- Kyoko
Red Tiger -- Spleen, kidney, whatever! Whichever body part of yours that would have
fetched me the highest price on the market would have done. But noooooo. You just
couldn't part with one could you. I swear by the gods above and the overflowing
froth in my mug. One of these days your luck will run out and I'll skin your hide.
You must have one of those. -- Kyoko
Red Tiggerz -- Donts takes what shes sayz seriouz. Shes just madz becausez the
boss cutz her tab off at the bar for the lozing streaks. Thatz and shes a little
pentz ups if youz knowz what I meanz heh. -- Rewrite
*Kyoko slams Rewrite's head against the table and storms off*

Goo angry... Goo dead... Goo want candy... -- Ghost of Goo
Big Molly -- Is everyone on your team such good teachers? If so I hope we keep
getting matched up. -- Ankaa
Cezarro -- Thanks for giving me some confidence back...I was beginning to doubt my
abilities. -- Carina
Your Mama -- Ouch! That hurt my neck and my pride. (What little I have.) -- Mensa
Machigai -- You understand I had to try. Grats on your graduation. -- Solar Flare
Down Pour -- When I said I'd pay to see you take on Machigai I meant it figuratively,
so you best not come looking for money from me. Gods! Men are so dense. -- Solar
Flare
Mensa -- Told me! Told me! Bring it again when ever you are ready lady. -- Sticket
Brickhouse -- Armor or none...soon it will not matter. By now we should have fought
again...maybe to even our record, or maybe for me to go up by two. I am willing to
let it stand at even, and begin our reign of terror on the rest of this city. --
Sticket
Big Molly -- Well, thanks for the fine words. I try to hold my fine figure in this
stable. -- Tye Foon
Cicero -- I needed a different weapon for that fight. I am willing to go again with
a new weapon selection. You up for it? -- Tye Foon
Ladybug -- I didn't expect to face you in the title fight. Not even sure how I got
matched up against you...but hey, you obviously belong, you took to belt! Congrats!
-- Down Pour
Marius -- Some warriors make me look at mediocre as I am. -- Whirlwind
Brickhouse -- That was my last challenge against you in my career...unless you are
sitting on the throne. -- Sticket

accept them. -- Zero

Mead isn't helping you much. -- Red Tiger
Gallienus -- It's my season. Come after me in the summer and you'll find me at a
disadvantage. -- Snowshoe
P.S. Hey, it SOUNDS good, doesn't it?
Carina -- Wow, you hit me on the head, and suddenly I was seeing stars! -- Cezzaro
Petunia -- Watch yourself, wench, you're coming on too strong for a newcomer. A
couple of losses at the beginning make a more graceful start. -- Red Lily
Marius -- Yes, it was. That's what crits are for, after all! But you held up well.
-- Ladybug
S'tou -- Especially if our next encounter turns out to be...over a couple of beers or
a little barbeque. -- Red Tiger
Aureolus -- Next time perhaps you will listen and give up. -- Beleg
Zero Visibility -- Looks like you put me into my place, well done. -- Eldacar

Snowshoe -- <Evil Grin> -- Beleg
24 January 2007
The Council of Lords would like to propose a rule change in ADM and Primus. We
propose that Lord Protectors ranked "Grand Champions" and below (ADM) and "The Tower
Guard" and below (Primus) be allowed to fight in the Dark Arena. This would not
impact the top rankings or title match. Any managers who never got his fill or shot
at fighting Gateway monsters would have it as an option. We believe it might spark
some interest in the ADM/Primus realm for some managers. If interested, speak up in
the newsletters or on forums under the "rules changes" thread and let RSI know. This
could even be something to try for 12 months and then be re-evaluated. What say you,
managers of Ghea? -- The Icelord sends....

HDFA Mission Statement
"Show me the money!"
This is the battle cry of a newly formed collection of like-minded individuals:
The High Dolla' Free Agent$. We are not a tough guy alliance: No...we offer no
battle without reward. We search for victory and the prizes and accolades that
follow. We are motivated by winning and will freely use whatever means necessary to
obtain our currency. No stuffy rules, no mandates, no constitutions, no leaders,
only a few objectives:
1) Win as often as possible
2) Celebrate freely and revel in your victories; the more meaningless the
victory the more we celebrate. Highsiding and chest thumping are encouraged.
Ostentatious endzone celebrations with prop usage are encouraged, regardless of
fines, penalties, suspensions or arrest by local authorities. It is important to let
your opponent know how great you are; more importantly, you must let your own
alliance mates know how great you are.
This is a 1-up alliance, let the performance of your fellow Free Agent$ motivate
you. If a Free Agent wins a TV, win 2; if a Free agent wins a contest, win a more
prestigious one.
Current members of the HDFA include: CFH and Abraxis. Inquires can be directed
to: CFH/Rat Salad DM 47
