SPY REPORT
Welcome ARVAT. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I
fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Phhbltt! Too much drinking
and too little dodging gave NOTORIOUS a 0-2-0! I got a good laugh out of it! Ya
gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the
pain! BOWL O'RAMA is now ranked 3rd with a 3-2-0 turn. GIANT KILLERS showed ARVAT
what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 3-1-0.
What's with PSIRENA? She actually beat DEVIL ADVOCATES' TIA MATTE, and walked away
with 16 more points from the fight. Major screwup at THE JOKER'S WILD. CANDICANE
lost 14 points to WEE. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe CANDICANE will provide
more easy wins... Har har har! Did TAMARIN wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway,
she's not Duelmaster anymore. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for FOUND IN THE
SAND's outstanding member, Duelmaster EMPTY BOTTLE. I suppose you want to hear some
rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. ARVAT thinks NOTORIOUS and
their 400-323-12 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... The bums at
SECRET SQUIRRELS couldn't face the challenges from NOTORIOUS! No excuse for that!
What do people see in GHENGIS KHAN? His 2-4-0? GIANT KILLERS ain't talkin', but
he's got 12 points. ABSOLUTION expects the easy win by going 32 points down.
FIZZGIGUE will find this a hard lesson! ABSOLUTION defeated FIZZGIGUE. I bet
ABSOLUTION could beat two-year-olds, too. Well, FISHERMAN'S WHARF knows who to set
their sights on. Taunt your opponent MATHEU! That was my lucky charm when I was
unfairly challenged. (and by 23 points!) EMPTY BOTTLE should have an easy win. I
have to get this off my chest. What a low dog, EMPTY BOTTLE! He can't set himself
up in a real match. I was sorry to see MATHEU lose.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to
go...
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
The crowd was surprisingly orderly, but it was still a crowd, and the Commission
clerk, Algernon, looked at it uneasily. Whenever this many people came together to
petition for something, it meant trouble. For him, anyway. Records to be altered.
Altering records was Bad. It made Extra Work.
His assistant clerk leaned close and whispered, "If it weren't for gladiators, we
wouldn't have jobs. Smile at them and ask what they want."
Algernon closed his eyes briefly. Looking at this crowd made him dizzy. They
were all wearing black and white stripes. Like a herd of zebras, except that zebras
didn't carry swords. Then he took a deep breath and managed a smile. "What... ah,
what can I do for you?"
"We want new names," the first gladiator said. There was a number on the front
of his shirt: 0381. He thumped the number with his thumb. "This here isn't a
name--"
"We want REAL names!" That voice came from farther back in the crowd.
"Yeah! We've paid our dues," another shouted, "and we've EARNED real names!"
One from the very back yelled, "I want to be called Tom."
All the others turned to look at him.
Algernon couldn't see him, but apparently those looks were accusing. Well, he
could understand that, "Tom" was such a... common name.
"My mom called me Tom," the voice in the back protested. "It's a good name."
"It isn't the name you put on the petition," 0381 said. "We talked about this.
We got our manager's agreement. You get the name on the petition."
"But--!"
Algernon didn't really want to keep staring at all these stripes while they
argued. He picked up the petition. "These names are the ones you want?"
0381 turned back. "Yes."
"It's a lot of trouble, and when other people see that YOU are getting name
changes, THEY are going to want them--" Seeing the gladiators beginning to frown...
and finger their weapons, he went on quickly, "So I figure we might as well make it a
complete deal. A Name-Change-O-Rama. Everyone who wants a name change can petition
for it. Get it all over with at once." He glanced at the petition, shuddered
slightly, and passed it to his clerk. "We'll announce it, proclaim it, even, and you
will get the names on this petition. And others will get the names THEY think they
should have had, too." He paused. "And I think I'll get a new name, I'm tired of
being an Algernon...."

"DARK ARENA" -- The Novel
For centuries, the Shagornan Elves have been forced to live underground.
Human invaders, the Delarquans, burned their forests, sparking a war of elven
annihilation. The elders told tales that when the Delarquans marched to war
against the elves, the land itself bled as they passed. Since the war, the
elves have dwindled with every passing year, while the humans multiply like
rodents across the land of Alastari.
Now, the Delarquans have disappeared. Some say they departed, others indicate
it.s a ruse, but there have been whispered rumors of another greater threat
looming in the region. Khyron of the Shagornan Elves has been tasked to
determine the cause, realizing that failure is probable and at the end of the
road death could be the only reward.
Khyron has known only the safety of the caves, but now he must journey to the
world above...the World with No Ceiling.
Throughout the years, many fine writers have played Duelmasters/Duel II and have
contributed greatly to the history and background of the world of Alastari. One very
intense period, during the early '90's, was during the Rocanis War, when authors from
both the Delarquan and Free Blades arenas collaborated on writing the history of the
invasion of the arena-city of Rocanis. Mark Manley (aka Grimwood) is a long-time
manager in Rocanis, and was one of the writers who contributed so much to this
history. Over the subsequent years, he has worked to bring his novelization to life
and make the story of the War and the preceding events which led to it available to
the greater public. Many Rocanis legends appear in the book: Itoz Trollbane,
Sandstorm, and others. The novel is a treat to read--even more so if you are familiar
with the game!
