THE REVENANT (part 16)
I rap on the solid wood door. My sword-brother, Bosk, opens it. He appears
none the worse for wear. I've always marveled how the Polarian Gnomes and Dwarves,
who are so similar, could have such great constitution when it comes to swilling,
brawling and wenching. The Gnome's eyes twinkle though I do notice they are a little
blood-shot. Ah, he IS feeling it. I chuckle to myself. He swings the door fully
open and rumbles, "All good things must come to an end, ladies. It appears it is
time for me to go to work." With giggles and smiles the blonde and redhead sweep out
of the room. "I'll stop by next time I'm in town." promises Bosk. I smile and
slightly shake my head.
"Are you quite through?" I ask as we close the door and go into the room.
"Hmmppff." grunts Bosk as he pours a glass of ice water and sits down to breakfast on
the table. "You seemed to be having a good enough time with that Oriental lass."
"Just so." I acknowledge. "But enough of that, it is time to head south and
destroy this undead being. He is in the House of Berrymore."
Bosk's eyebrows arch. "That explains it all."
"It does indeed." I reply as I begin carving an apple. It is good to be on
Polaris. I am The Icelord. It is good to finish this business with our enemy.
Bosk, on Kin-Tar, and I, on Shan-Tar, our beautiful and mighty Dragonhorses
sweep over the wall of glorious R'Shann. To be airborne again on Polaris makes ones'
heart race. Bosk grins mightily. His long braided hair, beard and earthen colored/
gold trimmed cloak fly in the breeze as we gain altitude and the city falls behind
us. My magic allows only a slight breeze to come upon me. I wish it this way.
It will not take us long to travel over the R'Shanian Plains and then we will be
at the borders of the Dark Forest. We will fly over that twisted and dark realm. We
have walked it before. Evil beings there know us well. It has been some years since
we were last at the House of Berrymore. That keep lies on the other side of the
forest. At one time it was a great estate and its family served the King of R'Shann.
That was some years ago. I know the family was cursed. It appears the last time we
were there we finished off earthly enemies, but now we will deal with unearthly ones.
So be it. This being followed us to Ghea and made his bid for power. He lost there.
He will lose here.
I smile as Bosk begins singing a war song. Anyone who is so foolish to attack
us might as well paint a bullseye on his or her chest. I expect this undead being to
once again hide behind others. Evil always does. The others will not stand in our
way. This business will be finished. I see the borders of the forest. This is
good.

CHIMLEVTAL 2003-THE YEAR IN REVIEW (Turns 222-234)
Greetings glorious Chimlevtal. It has been a long tradition of The Council of
Lords to document and publish a "Year in Review" in this, the toughest and most
challenging arena in all of Ghea. All know this is not an arena for the faint of
heart. To be granted victory in Chimlevtal is an honor to be praised.
I, Braglane Bluethumb, Chief Scribe of The Council of Lords, have been directed
by The Icelord to compile and report The Year in Review for 2003. My Lord, along
with High Lord Bosk and Polar Bear are now on Polaris, finishing business with an
enemy. They are ones who always close and engage those who would declare themselves
enemy. May The Golden One shine upon them.

The Council of Lords-Vendetta Cartel War continued in 2003. The noble Council
has fought this evil cartel since May of 1995 (turn #122). The Council went 7-1
against the VC on turn #234 to wrap up the year. In 2003 every member of the Council
of Lords had a winning record against the VC. The Stormguards went 16-10, Overlords
11-10-3, Stormwatch 18-7, Lords of Valhalla 13-9 and The Stormbringers 15-13. The
Council of Lords record against the Vendetta Cartel was 73-49-3 in 2003. Indeed.
Now I must turn my attention to other matters. 2004 in upon us. What will
transpire this year in glorious Chimlevtal, greatest of all arenas? We shall see.
Happy New Year.

SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of CHIMLEVTAL! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at KOSMOS'S
MATRIX's guildhouse after a 0-5-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into
18th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week RESPECT THE DEAD went 4-1-0 to move up 9 in the
rankings. My praise to WHAMMO & THUDDA 4 U! for their 3-1-0 week this time out.
Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! TOBIAS HAWKWIND caught
the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested UNCAS and was
awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, PSYCH
MAJOR put down SIR SAGRAMOR, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the
process. Not for nothing has MACIOBELLY in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's
throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Heed this! A seer has
warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In CHIMLEVTAL "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in CHIMLEVTAL these days is 5 BELOW ZERO. At least, most blades in town are looking
to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent
the better part of last week avoiding 5 BELOW ZERO. Indeed it was MILITARY MAYHEM.
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. TARL OF KO-RO-BA
take warning! You have more than a few enemies in CHIMLEVTAL. As a gladiator gets
older, the icy grip of fear lays hold of his heart. True, BARTOFELES? Who could
miss your "brave" challenge of FORESHADOW? Surprising everyone, FORESHADOW won
victory over BARTOFELES, earning 14 points of recognition in the process! A knave's
just desserts are the sweetest victory. I can not but mention with disdain the name
of IGOMINY who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 15 points below in
the rankings. I thought IGOMINY showed great skill and promise when he defeated
MANI. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Look no more for PEKKO in the arena or
on the streets of CHIMLEVTAL. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for
one at 16-10-5. Strange what qualities come forth in the face of certain doom.
GOMORRAH has the town astir with the news of hers Dark Arena victory! This week
marked the last days of GAZA who at 9-10-0 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the
command of DARQUE FORCES' demanding management. Look no more for SIR VILLARS in the
arena or on the streets of CHIMLEVTAL. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena.
Inevitable for one at 9-19-0. Many townsmen have begin to remark over the fact that
after one more round of duels CANDIES' Bloodfeud against ONE HIT WONDER will have
expired. THE THING must hold silent, for this week he was humbled in the arena by a
successful Bloodfeud won by URESIA of RESPECT THE DEAD. Hail URESIA for thy victory!
My hearty congratulations FORESHADOW, for thy revenge upon BARTOFELES, slayer of thy
fallen comrade. Next time he will know better, eh? Fate is a fickle mistress. She
showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember
this!
The girls are as pretty in CHIMLEVTAL as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Lords of Valhalla -- Good job on going 5-0 last turn! -- Polar Bear & Stormwatch
Sodom -- No member of the Crying Cartel is worthy of the throne in Chimlevtal.
Beating you up was a cinch. (Phoenicia was unworthy also. Will you BF?) -- Lord
Protector Frey
Archetype -- A down-challenge with a halberd? You must not like me. -- Uracca
Evenstar
Abraxis -- You are not "busy smashing the COL." We are 9-2 against your Willbenders.
You can't even show up every turn. -- Stormwatch
Master Dork -- Your alliance is all about that. -- Polar Bear & Stormwatch
The Icelord -- They can re-run all their personal ads and talk tough all they want
but it won't help them win. -- Polar Bear & Stormwatch
High Lord Bosk -- Good job on your 4-0 showing against the Crying Cartel that lead
the way in our 7-1 turn against them to wrap up the year. Appropriate. The COL was
73-49-3 against the Criers in 2003. I am impressed they kept it that close. A
salute to you and the noble Polar Bear. -- The Icelord
Crip -- For the first time ever in Chimlevtal I will print my warriors stats: Lajinn
the Genie was 9-7(1)-15-9-11-13-21 AB. He learned 3 skills total. An experiment.
He killed 2 Cartel clowns so that was good. Do you know anyone who would run this in
a slow arena? Now that he has fallen on Ghea, I have released him from my service
and the bonds of his lamp. He has returned to the Elemental Plane of Air. I will,
of course, BF. Since you challenged, I will probably BF more than once. Salute. --
The Icelord
Pekko -- I am not sure on the kill record but will research it. Good luck. -- The
Icelord
Thanks to those who voted in the Hall of Fame balloting. Selections next month. --
The Icelord
Vomito -- How did I end up out there with just a dagger? -- Rezos
Manager Darque -- Tsk, tsk. I pressed the right buttons yet again. You are so easy
to set off. The foam flying from your mouth, fortunately, landed on Abraxis. The
obsession is all yours. Remember, your "dad" announced in the personals he was going
to trash me and The COL. My warrior, Odysseus, slew his warrior Death. He fled and
never returned. Typical VC. Without your claim to be in a war with us, you have no
claim to fame. We are having no problems with you, get ALL your alliance back, bring
back your other two teams and bring it on. You always hide behind others. -- The
Icelord (if this is too harsh for you little mageling, you can always leave
Chimlevtal. I am sure you are a big shot in other arenas.)
Lonestar/Brand X/Klown/CFH, Abraxis and Goat (the 3 stooges) -- You are unworthy of a
response from The COL. All your pathetic personals sound the same in every arena you
are in. Running your mouth doesn't win the war. You know nothing and Master Dork
knows less. You are dismissed. -- Ark Sardon, Stableboy for The Council of Lords
Manager Darque -- Happy New Year! I am in a good mood, so The COL will make you an
offer. To end this war the VC must do the following: Admit that the VC started the
war when "dad" flamed High Lord Bosk when he first came into the game. Apologize for
all the garbage your alliance has spewed in the personals for the past 9 years.
Personally surrender your sword to our most junior gladiator. All VC teams depart
and transfer out of Chimlevtal. And last, since your newly recruited peons want to
run their mouths: The VC will pay 15,000 tons of gold per month to The COL for 15
years. This is more than you deserve, but it is a new year and we are trying to help
you out. Just accept it. Don't come back with some stupid long drawn-out diatribe
that will just make you look dumber than you already do. -- The Icelord
High Lord Bosk and The Stormbringers -- Congratulations on 300 victories!! All
earned in Chimlevtal is most impressive. You are members of an elite fraternity.
The Stormguards are still in a contest with you for first to 25 kills. Loser buys a
keg of wicked ale. We shall see how it goes. Salute great ones! -- The Icelord and
The Council of Lords
Pekko -- I believe the record for kills in Chimlevtal is 5. The following warriors
listed have 5 kills and I have noted the turn they did it: Tundra of Rat Pak (56),
Argos of Energia (76), Baby Huey of Loony Toons (114), False Prophet of South of
Heaven (122), Zaius of The Stormbringers (216), Gaelin Blacktalon of The Nighthawks
(229) and Pekko of Sol Invictus (234). I have Braglane Bluethumb doing some more
research, there are at least 46 warriors who have had 3 or more kills in the arena.
With a little work, that can be verified and posted. -- The Icelord
The Icelord -- I salute you and wish you and yours a very prosperous new year! The
COL must continue our domination of the cartel. Many Salutes, Bud! -- High Lord Bosk
Destitute Noble -- Your personal ad was perfect. We always appreciate participation
in the Hall of Fame voting. May 2004 bring you success on the sands (except vs. us
<g>). -- High Lord Bosk
As seems too often the case, the arena will be falling due while I'm on the road. I
may not be able to get a spot written; if that is the way it works out, my apologies.
-- the Scribe
Shallow Threat -- Ah, but you have to realize that I'm deep, very deep. -- Norgen
Pelh
P.S. Like a well.
Tashius -- (wincing) (on second thought, wincing again) Ouch. Uh, good fight. For
you. Not so hot for me, of course. -- Les Nayle
P.S. What took you so long?
Talisker -- I take it we're not talking malted milk balls here, right? (sigh)
Figured that. -- Kambard Murh
Blister -- Bad show, that. Try, hmm, lanolin maybe? Or getting in out of the cold?
-- Mendal Omshil, desiring to be helpful because he won and that always makes him
feel generous
Rumplestiltskin -- (sigh) But what's in a name, after all? -- Jo Ludan
Dark Arena gladiators -- I love the smell of torches in the nighttime! -- Pekko
Zarendar -- I think that this bout was closer than our last one; well done. -- Inmar
Lexicon -- Nicely done lassie, you're a stout one, and like that. -- Mani
Master Darque -- Thank you. Which C.O.F. stable is the greatest fool? -- A stubborn
Goat
C.F.H. -- It is about time. See what happens when a goat smells bear grease while
stepping on ice cubes when he is butting high lords around. Your advice is always
heeded. -- Chaotic Goat
Abraxis -- Your pounding at the C.O.L. is great. How could I not notice. There are
pools of tears from them every time you teach them the simple art of how to act and
fight like a true warrior. -- Goat
Les Nayle -- I was making comment on your desultory conversation which I could not
hear, the bucket on my head would not allow this. So, I thought you were a silent
and deadly type. -- Idi A Mean
Council -- Ha, ha, your karate is no good against Cowboys bullets. -- Goat
Storm Watch -- "C" 1. The symbol for the element carbon. 2. The third letter of
the modern English alphabet. 3. The beginning of the verb and noun for what "Goat"
is going to do to you: clean your clock. Of course you can acknowledge the fact
that this stable can and has continuously contributed to conquering your pathetic
attempt to clone your Council based on the strengths of the Cartel. -- Coup D' Tat
All -- I would like to announce the latest member of the Assassin Nation household.
My son, Connor, was born on November 25th. His stats were 8 lbs 11 oz and 20" in
length. Mother, baby, and beleaguered father are all doing well. -- Ghab, Assassin
Nation
Inmar -- Only when I have a good enough teacher...Thanks for the five skills and
rating! -- One Hit Wonder
Laphroaig -- That was not so much fun! I wasn't even supposed to run last turn, as I
was perfectly timed for a tournament! Oh well, an oversight on Ghab's part got me
some good skills anyway. -- Malice
Plotinus -- That's the way to fight! -- One Hit Wonder
Well, I guess I can get rid of two of the three misfits on my team. Goodbye to
Perforate and Dark Omen. Foreshadow could be fun to run, if his favorite rhythm
favors his strong points.... -- Ghab/Assassin Nation
Col Ka Da Fee -- Well, I have decent enough stats for certain aspects of the fight.
My poor weapon selection, and the fact that I am sub par when it comes to learning,
has earned me an off-hand torch this week! I wish you better luck then I've had. --
Perforate

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.

TOURNEY FREEZE CHANGE -- ADVANCE NOTICE
Beginning at the Winter Face-to-Face in Tempe (January 2004), we will implement
several changes affecting tournaments. The tournament announcement for the upcoming
FTF and future tourneys will reflect these changes.
First, we will eliminate the tourney freeze for all regular DM warrior classes.
Regular DM warriors will not be classed ahead of the tournament, but instead will
fight according to their FE on the date of the tourney. There will still be a freeze
for the ADM classes, occurring on the same timeline as before, approximately 6 weeks
before the tournament.
In addition to the above change, the warrior classes will be slightly altered.
The new tourney classes will be as follows:
DM Tourney Classes ADM Tourney Classes
====================== ======================
0 FE: Rookies Freshmen
1-4 FE: Apprentices ADM
5-10 FE: Initiates Eligibles
11-20 FE: Adepts ---induction---
21-30 FE: Champions Contenders
31+ FE: Challengers Primus
All regular DM tourney classes will remain solely FE based. All ADM classes will
now be based on warrior characteristics (i.e., the ADM split algorithm), including the
Freshmen class.
The Gateway and Primus arenas will be merging before the FTF to form one top
arena. These warriors will be split into two tournament classes, the Contenders and
the Primus classes, again based upon their characteristics. More information on this
will be published in the newsletters for those arenas.
If you have any questions about the above changes, please contact Customer
Service. Good luck in your games.
