Near Barikala:
The pillar of light over Barikala was not an attack in any obvious way, but
Artemisia found no comfort in that. It was probably magical. No, it was definitely
magical. No one had been able to explain it in the months, the years since the
Invasion, but they'd figured out that early on. Well, what else could it be? And
it, or something connected to it, was deadly dangerous, because no ship or single
visitor had returned from Barikala after the pillar first appeared. Those ship
captains who normally used Zukal's port had long since worked out the limits of
safety in the waters around Barikala, and The Golden Moon was well outside that
limit. But...the zombies were something new on the chart.
A man screamed behind her, along the ship's other rail, and she whirled. There
was movement beyond the rail, black on near black, hard to make out. Lanterns lit
the ship's deck but cast no significant light beyond it. She could see one of her
sailors staggering toward the rail with some kind of dark cable wrapped around the
middle of his body, but not what lay beyond and pulled him.
She didn't need to see. She crossed to that side of the deck, her cutlass
whistling down on the cable. The blade bit, but not deeply, the cable was more
rubbery than a normal rope. It wasn't a rope, of course. She saw with disgust
rather than fear that it was a tentacle, though what creature would have a tentacle
four inches thick at any point was not something she cared to think deeply about.
The Lady Protector hacked downward again.
There were more cries. Fear, loathing, terror. More tentacles reaching up and
over the ship's side. Tentacles on one side of the ship, zombies on the other.
Neither group of sailors could abandon their own task to aid the other. Both
attacking forces were stronger than Artemisia had expected. She began to wonder if
her crew and her ship would survive at all.
Niatoli Island:
Lord Protector Ghenis walked along the waterfront of the island's only real town
and looked over the shipping on hand. He wasn't sure what he was looking for, but he
figured he'd know it when he saw it. Some people might have taken him for a tourist
and considered robbing him, or selling him the kind of trash that hustlers always
sold to strangers and rubes, but...not here. This town had an arena, and they knew
that kind of walk, that assured and dangerous stance. He could be a hick with hay
growing out his ears, but as long as he was a Lord Protector, no one would mistreat
him so. At least, no one but another Lord Protector. And since he wasn't such a
hick.... He smiled, a baring of his teeth that drove human rats out of his path.
Ah. There was a man on the street ahead of him, talking to a probably ship
captain. A man who, like himself, was unmistakably a Lord Protector. Tall, hard,
maybe not quite human, although Ghenis couldn't put his finger firmly on the
difference. Something in the way he stood, maybe. Not that it matter. This looked
like a man he could work with.
When the man turned away from the sailor, Ghenis was there, nodding his head in
a move as close to a bow as he ever got. "I'm Ghenis, from Zukal," he said, and
raised a questioning eyebrow.
The other frowned. Odd, at this close distance, he seemed almost...scaled.
"Agro, Lapur," the man said shortly.
Ghenis noted that the sailor was moving away, clearly dissociating himself from
the two gladiators. "I have control of a ship," Ghenis said, "and I am minded to
make a raid on the invaders at Monuntial. You look like a man who might be
interested in that."
Agro's frown deepened, but he smiled, baring pointed, over-large teeth. "I'm
interested," he agreed.
Rocanis:
Lady Protector Eleven Blade, Leven to her friends, stood on Spirit Ridge and
stared southward. What should have been rolling, increasingly arid grasslands to the
distant horizon was now a bank of...fog, maybe. Dark, sharp as a wall at its base,
the top of it working like porridge boiling in a pot. And no more than fifteen miles
away, probably less. Ten. "I've never seen anything like it," she admitted.
"Strange weather...if it is weather."
"It's partly weather," her companion said slowly, "but not entirely." He was a
Lord Protector from Morya, Ghost Dancer by name. "I have been studying it for two
months now. It began...I don't know where. Somewhere in the far south. It was a
hundred miles south of here when I first saw it."
Leven glanced at the man sharply. She didn't really know him, but there was
nothing in his face or manner that suggested he was lying. "It's moved ninety miles
in two months? At that rate, it could be on Rocanis within a week!"
"Its speed is irregular," Ghost Dancer said. "Some days it moved scarcely a
mile, other days it raced north like wildfire. But yes, it could be on Rocanis...
any time." He was silent for a moment, as though debating whether he should say
more. With a faint shrug, he went on, "I have not been able to find an end to the
line of it and get around behind. I have no idea what lies behind in the ground it
has already covered. But I would not expect to find anything really GOOD where that
has passed."
Obviously not, Leven agreed silently. The unknown never seemed to be
benevolent. It was probably a natural law. "You couldn't get around an end," she
said. "Did you try going straight through?"
Ghost Dancer paled a little. "Yes," he said very quietly. "I survived, but I
didn't get very far into it. Or I would never have come back, I think. It was like
being caught in a whirlwind, in part. But I was not the only thing in the grip of
the walking storm, and the others were.... Some of them were beasts, mad with terror
and striking blindly. Others were," he hesitated, "things. The sort of things a
priest of the Mytori might call out of the Darkness."
"Do you believe it's a natural phenomenon?" Eleven Blade asked.
"No."
"Good. If it's unnatural, it was made by men. Or something like men, anyway.
And what men can make, they can undo. Let's find out how, and then...undo."

SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in ARVAT! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... MVP award for TAD DEVILLE?
DEVIL ADVOCATES' proud of him after beating PRETTY WILD and getting 19 points. This
Duelmaster is like something else! STYLISH stopped LIL ETH dead in hers tracks! I
hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want
photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? CALL THE PRIEST was ARVAT's most avoided team. Is
there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are DEVIL ADVOCATES? CALL
THE PRIEST, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an
invitation! Like, is BASKERVOLE popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all
of ARVAT! He's got a 12-27-0, is that good? See if I ever talk to TIA M. ATT again!
BASKERVOLE was so low when She challenged she. Hhmph! BASKERVOLE is a real man! He
was challenged by TIA M. ATT, 25 points above, and BEAT her! Dark Arena, anyone?
NAUTILUS must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged
TASSALTER. 12 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought
NAUTILUS showed great skill and promise when he was beat by TASSALTER. All right, so
I slept through it! Big deal!
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?
Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. I had a fun
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

TEN TURNS OF HELL:
The KLK Capture The Flag Competition
In the spirit of the ongoing effort to make arena play what it used to be (FUN!!), I
am proud to announce the KLK Capture The Flag Competition. The competition will be
held in Jhans (DM-36, which has, by the way, grown in size equal to Talcama already).
:) We are announcing this contest early to allow managers time to prep.
Rules:
-- On turn 462 (due 8/4/04) the lowest ranked warrior on your team is given your
team's 'flag' (he is your initial flag defender).
-- Starting on turn 463 (due 8/18/04) flags will be defended every turn and turn
463 is the turn scoring will begin.
-- Fights involving flags are winners-take-all and a warrior can carry as many
flags as he can win.
-- If a warrior holding a flag either A) goes inactive, B) loses to a stand-by
warrior or C) gets DA'd, he forfeits all flags he has and they are returned the their
original team's lowest ranked warrior.
-- If you hold your own flag on an inactive warrior you receive NO POINTS that
turn.
-- If a warrior graduates to AD holding flags starting on the next turn those
flags will be defended by the lowest ranked warrior on the team of the graduating
warrior.
-- Scoring as follows for each turn:
2 pts -- possession of your own team flag
1 pt -- possession any other flag
1 pt -- for each win
1 pt -- for each kill
1 pt -- for each award you receive in the newsletter
-- You may enter as many teams as you like (per RSI rules) but each team is its
own entry.
-- Tie-Breaker goes to the team that had the most points from flags.
-- If still tied the tie-breaker will be the team that had the most points from
kills. (It's the Delarq way.)
-- The contest lasts 10 turns and there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd
(based on highest point totals)
Prizes: (what you've been waiting on)
1st -- 3 know favorites potions*
DA warrior named after winning manager
2nd -- 2 know favorites potions*
3rd -- 1 know favorites potion*
* These are full favorite potions (weapon, rhythms and tactics) and can only be used
on warriors with at least 4 FE.
How's that for paying out? (grin) Even if you think that it's all about the TC,
these prizes should be enough to draw you in. (You know who you are.)
I hope to see friend and foe alike come to Jhans. Legion, Froths, and all the
others...this is your personal invite. Can you win? Can you survive 10 turns of
Hell in Jhans?
Note: Special thanks to RSI for helping make this contest possible. Thanks
guys!

Death Fest Begins July 29/DM 59 T-172
"You drive a hard bargain Hammer," responded Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul, "but the
Gladiatorial Commission has agreed to re-open DM 58 Delarq Tor as a Slow Arena
exclusively for a period of six months to those Death Fest contestants who fight
their stables at least 67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death
Fest; on the condition that at least 20 stables qualify for the Illis Iron Stable
Award at the conclusion of the Death Fest and those qualifying managers send a New
Stable to DM 58 Delarq Tor without Cannibalizing their participation in the other
arenas where they have active stables!"
Hammer felt a certain sense of satisfaction as he studied the ghoulish grin
spreading across the face of Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul; proud Arena Master of the once
dying Illis Arena, as the DM 59 Arena Authority signed the Gladiatorial Commission
papers authenticating the arrangement agreed upon by the two parties presiding.
"You and the Gladiatorial Commission also drive a hard bargain," Hammer replied
as he reflected upon the prospects of Delarq Tor DM 58 being re-opened as a Slow
Arena with at least 20 New Stables by the Managers who fight their stables at least
67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death Fest. "I also notice the
clause that for Delarq Tor to be open Exclusively for 6 months to the New Stables
managed by the Illis Iron Stable Award Winners that there must be at least 15 stables
Active each cycle. That is a fair bargain for the opportunity to battle for the
Duelmaster Throne each of those six months before Other New Stables are allowed to
enter Delarq Tor."
This was a Golden Opportunity for both Veteran and Newbie Managers to pave a new
frontier of Delarq history by qualifying their Death Fest stables in DM 59 with 67
fights out of a possible 75; then for the price of running a stable in a Regular
Arena, continuing to be Active in DM 59 and sending a New Team Roll Up to be a part
of "History in the Making" when Delarq Tor would re-open for its First Turn as a Slow
Arena on November 3rd, 2005.
Death Fest would conclude on T-186 August 25th, 2005 allowing the Illis Iron
Stable Award Winners enough time to be registered with the Gladiatorial Commission;
whereupon they would be able to submit a New Team Roll Up to the GC to start a New
Stable in Delarq Tor; be able to fight those New Gladiators in the Rookies 2005 Fall
Mailer Tourney; then begin competing for the DM 58 Duelmasters Throne in Delarq Tor
right out of the gate with the November 3rd 2005 T-1 Debut Opening Round.
Hammer of the First Part had also negotiated with Lord Na-Zul of the Second Part
an agreement that All 10 Dark Arena Monsters and 17 NPCs Characters be re-named by
the Top Ten Death Fest Finishers. [See DM 59 T-171 Newsletter Team Spotlight by
Hammer for the complete listing of Dark Arena Monsters/NPCs and the Official Death
Fest Designation for which Top Ten Finishers re-name which characters!]
Lord Na-Sul could not hide his delight at the prospects of Death being re-
delivered to his once dying arena during the Delarq Death Fest; the DM 59 Arena
Master agreed that these Death Fest Prizes were but a Small Exchange in Comparison to
the Profits to be made by the local Illis business merchants and surrounding
community from the Anticipated Influx into Illis by the Veteran and Newbie
Managers/Gladiators/Stables seeking to make History in the Delarq Death Fest.
Nor could Hammer conceal his jubilation regarding the Call Across Alistari being
Answered to Cross Blades and Match Wits with the Devious, the Diabolical, the
Dangerous and the Down Challenging who were being drawn to the Delarq Death Fest to
Fulfill their Delarq Dueling Destiny!
REMEMBER: Death Fest begins July 29th T-172 with 25 points being awarded to
those who write a minimum 15 paragraph Team Spotlight [including Stable Name &
Managerial Alias in the Storyline!] for the DM 59 T-172 Newsletter [So Make Sure HAL
