TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Mahatsawd the Mighty handed the report to Hammer who had transported in via one
of his Elven Orbs of Transport to check on his Casino Hammerz enroute to the Madness
in Morya.
Hammer was pleased to learn that his current roster of Casino Hammerz accounted
for 8 of the 10 stable Kills in their overal W/L record.
"Should I send Wild Card Hammer to the Dark Arena?" questioned Mahatsawd as he
elaborated upon the displeasure of WC Hammer's performance of late.
"Stay thy hand against Wild Card Hammer!" Hammer commanded with an immediate
authoritative response. "He will yet serve my purpose in the Hammer Run should it
warrant to be so."
Mahatsawd was displeased with the progress of his fiancee Lucky Lady Hammer who
had fallen to a 3-6-1 record while leading the Hammer Run Ripper category with 24
points.
Wild Card Hammer had been assigned to personally coach LL Hammer in the finer
arts of the Ripper as WC Hammer still maintained a winning record with 2 Kills and a
16-14-2, 78 record.
Hammer was well aware of Mahatsawd's objections to allow WC Hammer to continue
fighting.
"I have given Wild Card Hammer instructions to increase Lucky Lady Hammer's
training and prepare her for the challenge of overtaking him in the recognition
rankings before he graduates!"
Mahatsawd stared dumbfounded at Hammer as the realization of what Hammer had
instructed Wild Card Hammer to do hit home.
"Do not worry my friend!"
Mahatsawd eyed Hammer with a blank look bordering on despair.
"I have the utmost confidence that Lucky Lady Hammer is capable of surviving the
Hammer Run so the two of you can wed!"
Mahatsawd nodded his agreement.

Zukal:
Ghenis watched the ship _Relentless_ ease out into the channel and brushed his
hands together. It was bound for Niatoli to further certain interests of the dark
cult. On it was Veleks, and Cousin Og, who would look after the small thief...one
way or another. Which freed him to attend to other matters.
First of those other matters was a meeting with Pelishtekan, the Ferencian who
was currently the 'chief priest' of the cult. Ghenis scowled to hide his grimace of
disgust. He didn't like the Ferencian. In fact, he loathed the man. But it wasn't
necessary to like him, not really. As long as Pelishtekan did his job, nothing else
counted.
And right now, the man's job was to explain what manner of creature, monster, or
whatever was hunting over the lands just north of Zukal. And how the damned thing
could be fought and destroyed. It was in the way of certain plans that he had made
for the benefit of the dark cult...and of himself, of course. The dark power did not
expect his minions to work for nothing but the joy of it.
Ghenis left the waterfront behind and wove his way through the twisted and
noisome alleys of one of Zukal's poorest districts. The cult always had its centers
among the homes of the poor. They were the ones who had something to gain from it,
and nothing to lose, from shaking up the old order, after all. Ghenis smiled just a
little. He liked shaking things up.
The cult was headquartered in a tall narrow building squeezed between other tall
narrow buildings. The cellar, which was dark and always damp and divided into tiny
rooms no more than six feet square, was used for...storage. More or less. The
ground floor, reached by going down half a dozen steps from street level, was the
shrine itself. The level above that was where the main work of the cult was done,
the plotting and planning, the gathering of information, the good stuff. Above that,
two floors of small rooms where members of the cult lived if they couldn't do better
for themselves. And on the top floor, the pigeons that carried messages from points
as distant as Zuwayza and Murska in the north, Rocanis, Xochithlan, and even Tricorus
in the south. Most people had no idea how far the cult reached.
Which was another source of amusement to Ghenis. The authorities here in Zukal,
the very heart of the cult, had no idea that it was anything more than a handful of
dissatisfied commoners meeting to worship some petty godling. Ha! If Bey Sekahos
knew how near he stood to the rim of disaster, how fast he was sliding down the slope
into hell--! Even the Bandit Princes, who had a clearer understanding of their city,
didn't know that the cult was gaining power daily and would soon be ready to make its
move. IF the monster north of the city could be dealt with.
Ghenis pushed open the door and stepped toward Pelishtekan's office.
Near Malcorn:
The finger of light slid across the surface of the tall stone and touched the
worn carvings, which leaped into sudden clarity. The little clearing, which had been
empty except for Lord Malcorn and Tiljanz al Burgos, the young Karnhorn diplomat, was
suddenly full of shadows. Or something. Tiljanz could feel the weight of a dozen
minds thinking about him--calculating minds, hostile minds, hungry ones. He held
himself still and quiet with difficulty. This was Lord Malcorn's meeting; he himself
was just present as a witness.
Words came out of the darkness, hollow as caves, clear as trumpets. "Why are
you here, Malcorn?"
"To demand that you enforce your side of the agreement we made, Dregur," the
lord of Malcorn replied. If a great tree had spoken, its voice might have sounded
like that.
"Our side? What have we, the true and original lords of all the land between
the lakes, to 'enforce' at the command of an ephemeral like you?"
"Do not play games with me. A deal was made and sworn under just such a moon,
that the dregur would attack only those who entered this land at the command of the
Easterner Inzolas. In return for this, you were released from the Silent Place."
"And if we choose now to disregard that 'deal' you speak of?" Idle inquiry.
"The Silent Place is still there."
"You think you could return us to that captivity?" Scorn and amusement. "You?"
"If you do not keep your side of the agreement," now Malcorn's voice was like
iron, cold black iron, "I will return you to that captivity. Me." At that moment,
Tiljanz did not doubt that Blackie would do just that, whatever the cost to himself.
"We did make an oath." The voice was the same, but different. A different
dregur speaking, Tiljanz thought. "The oath is a binding already. He could do it."
Warning, cool consideration.
"Because a few of us have chosen to Hunt freely, as we used to? Unfair! This
land was OURS. If we stretch out our hand to take it back, where is the injustice in
that?" Passion.
"The injustice is in the breaking of our oath. The land itself will reject an
oathbreaker. It has always been so." Stern command. "We must keep our part of the
bargain, or by our failure we release Lord Malcorn from his. And he could then
return us to the Silent Place, if he is willing to pay the price." A pause. "And
you can see that he is so willing."
Objection. "Those who Hunt alone will not be called back to the kennel, even by
you."
Unyielding command. "Then I myself will lead a Hunt against them."
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Now that I'm back on the throne a second time, I am feeling a bit more
apathetic. For those that are interested, I'm currently a 16-9(2)-11-17-17-3-13 Wall
of Steel with Masters in Initiative, Attack and Parry and an Expert in Defense. I
could have sworn my favorite weapon was the quarterstaff; turns out it is the morning
star. Who knew? Well, best of luck to all the challengers to the throne.
Apathy
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
NIYTYOLE ISLAND. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got
paid! Say good-bye to OBSIDIAN HALL, as they are pushed from the coveted top team
spot by the CASINO HAMMERZ stable. Hey everybody, watch out for ROULETTE HAMMER, who
flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing DIGITALIS like a melon. Keep your
eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in the top ten was REPEAT OFFENDER, who
dropped 16 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with LUCKY LADY
HAMMER. Our battling duelmaster APATHY has managed to hold the title, fending off
PANDORA's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, OBSIDIAN HALL. Advice to
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the NIYTYOLE ISLAND arena.
Did you hear that JAILBIRDS was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of JAILBIRDS' warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be
funny, but catch OBSIDIAN HALL's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly
deft at running from JAILBIRDS. Well just about everybody wants a piece of HEY,
ZEUS!, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Carrion Bird Cinematic Humor:
TIM ALLEN II: THE REMATCH. In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, SPRYTE was
mashed by DOCTOR LECTER, who let SPRYTE know that killing members of JAILBIRDS is a
no-no. Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly
buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in NIYTYOLE ISLAND
have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another
Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of
'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
