TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Hammer was well satisfied that his Casino Hammerz stable members were beginning
to mature and develop into the team of warriors that he always knew they could
potentially become.
Even Mahatsawd had to agree that Hammer had some kind of uncanny insight by
allowing Wild Card Hammer to live and amaze everyone in Niytyole Island that WC
Hammer was now Duelmaster.
Furthermore, it even made more sense to Mahatsawd that Hammer had insisted that
Wild Card Hammer be allowed to live to help train Lucky Lady Hammer for the Hammer
Run for the Rollups.
She would now be hard pressed to attain a Winning record and a Champions
classification before WC Hammer received his call to Graduate.
Mahatsawd was impressed with the training of the other Casino Hammerz warriors,
noticing that Roulette Hammer, Black Jack Hammer and Poker Face Hammer were now
setting their sights on the possibility that they too could one day ascend the ranks
of Niytyole Island to become the DM 33 Duelmaster and bring honor and glory to Hammer
for their accomplishments.

Between Ibizond and Korga:
The horseman started to turn away, but two of the hounds made a determined
attack on the three gladiators as they scrambled out of their sheltering tree. Now,
the tree was a trap rather than a shelter. Cadal was first out, hammering at the
nearest hound with his heavy blade.
Aghatamar was just behind him, close enough to slash at the hound trying to take
him from the side. The horseman turned back, just as the moon shone through a gap in
the clouds overhead. Aghtamar sucked in her breath in shock. There was a face, she
repeated that to herself as a litany against the unknown. Two eyes--she shuddered
and wrenched her gaze away from them, feeling her blood turn to ice and her bones to
sand. A beak of a nose, a hunting bird's beak. Gash of a mouth, with an icy glitter
of fangs.
Behind her, Zilla muttered a prayer to Sermina and struck two-handed at the
hound, awkwardly because she didn't want to look directly at it. That hound was no
beast that ever curled up quietly before a fire or accepted a pat on the head for a
job well done. Cadal lunged at his hound and came near to spitting it on his sword,
but the uncanny creature twisted away. The horseman laughed, a sound which would
chill the strongest heart, and turned away again, riding up the road toward whatever
his, or its third hound had cornered. Fist of Kjarran, most likely, but there was no
way to help him now. They had their own problems.
The hounds had a pattern of swirling in to attack and then out before they could
be struck in return, coordinating their efforts smoothly without needing their
master's guidance. They must have done this many times before. Aghtamar thought of
the other people dead along this road and knew they must have sustained just such an
attack: the horn with its message of fear, then these uncanny beasts with their
teasing and toying, and finally the huntsman on his horse. Not a good death. If
there was such a thing as a 'good death'.
While these thoughts were flitting through her mind, she kept her sword moving
as well. The hounds seemed reluctant, maybe even totally unwilling, to close with
them, but they wouldn't leave them alone, either. "The damned things are trying to
wear us down," she muttered. And it might work. She was already breathing hard, and
she could hear Zilla panting beside her. She couldn't hear Cadal, but he was
farthest from her.
"We've got to finish these," Cadal stated. "Fist of Kjarran is going to need
our help." A shuffle and lunge, a hound yelped and dodged back. "Except they won't
stand--"
"And if we just go to Fist, turn our backs on these hounds," Zilla growled,
"likely they'll jump on us from behind."
"There must be SOME way we can kill or cripple these damned hounds!" Aghtamar
snapped. "Anything that lives can be killed. It's a natural law or something."
"We're not going to find it tonight except by chance," Cadal said. "And we have
to go help Fist. If we all move together, back to back...."
"Right! Let's move," Aghtamar agreed. "On the count of three?"
*** ***** *** ***** ***
The hound that Fist of Kjarran had crippled was dragging itself down the road
toward its approaching master, whining pitifully. If it had been a proper dog, the
gladiator might have regretted the injury. As it was...serve the damned beast right.
As the hound had appeared to grow when it charged him, so did the hunter. What
might have been a big horse--if it was a horse at all--became huge, and its rider
dominated the sky. He...it seemed to wear a crown of cold lights, or maybe there
were northern lights in the sky behind its head. No, that wasn't north, that was
southeast. Fist shook his own head to clear out the fantasies. As the rider passed
the crippled hound, he cried out in a terrible voice, a word Fist didn't know and
didn't want to know. An evil word, he was sure. Maybe a spell, or a vow of
vengeance. Not that it mattered! He had the protection of Kjarran and Jayde. He
raised his sword against the moon-colored blade that was swinging down out of the
stars above him.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Guess everyone is shocked and surprised to see Wild Card Hammer ruling the roost
here in Niytyole Island after I languished in the Champions for so many rounds.
Hammer deserves my devotion as he was unwilling to send me to the Dark Arena
even though a while back an RSI Stand In beat me.
No hard feelings toward my trainer Mahatsawd because I do understand that it is
most difficult for him to stand by and watch my erratic performance while I have been
entrusted to train his fiancee.
The random matchup with Grudgebringer proved to be a God send and now my name is
up in lights not only as the Duelmaster/Chartered Recognition Leader, but as the
Popularity Leader as well.
Turn 453 proved to be a bonanza for the Casino Hammerz stable what with the 96
point gain for Teams on the Move and our 10-5-2 record to edge out When Dogma Fails
for Current Top Team.
That sure helps Hammer with the cost of running this stable every two weeks and
I am proud to represent Hammer as a Duelmaster since it has been a long time since a
Hammer warrior held a Throne.
We will see who gets to Challenge for the Throne on T-454 or if I have to face
another of those miserable RSI Stand Ins to add to my Political Points and resume for
graduating from DM 33.
Meanwhile I will enjoy the view from up here and make it the focus of my further
training for Lucky Lady Hammer to inspire her to victory and the honor of sitting on
the Niytyole Island Duelmaster Throne.

SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! PIG BATTALION after a sorry 2-3-0 might want to consider abandoning the
sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues! What's a move up by 6
you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to WILLY
WONKA INC.. PATH OF THE BLADE had cause to celebrate, after VLAD got 23 points by
beating POKER FACE HAMMER. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 22 points to VLAD. (Discrete enough, POKER FACE HAMMER?)
You could cut the tension with a scimitar as PANDORA of OBSIDIAN HALL met the
Duelmaster. PANDORA found out that NIYTYOLE ISLAND isn't a democracy. You've gotta
be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who was the warrior seen charging into
immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of JAILBIRDS, alone and unchallenged. As a
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of CASINO HAMMERZ, so did that sorry
team shy from JAILBIRDS If challenges were horses, MYRIKLE could open up a fast food
joint! Call 'im brash! Call 'im brassy! Call 'im brave! Call 'im sassy! RED HEAD
will face LIGHT DA' PYRE, up by 28. Aaaah, just call 'im dead meat. LIGHT DA' PYRE
had a quite go of it, putting RED HEAD in his place.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Citizens of NIYTYOLE ISLAND, be sure to settle your debts with HAGGIS of FOOD FIGHT.
It's relocating to the Dark Arena and has other things on its mind! Congratulations,
ROULETTE HAMMER. The manager of PIG BATTALION should have sent SNOWBALL to the Dark
Arena for having a 9-10-0 long ago. I hear ARNOLD Z. of PIG BATTALION tired of the
battles and was thinking of becoming a priest. FICHLEBERRY of WILLY WONKA INC. saved
him the effort of getting references. Charity is unknown in NIYTYOLE ISLAND, and
rightly so. WILLY WONKA INC. exacted their revenge against OBSIDIAN HALL. Oh hard!
that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Do not think spyreporting in NIYTYOLE ISLAND is the highlight of my life. My
fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my
impeccable character. NIYTYOLE ISLAND, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed
to foot my bill at The Don't Drop Inn. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

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
