Near Barikala:
Twilight rushed westward, following the sun and leaving darkness in its wake.
The stars gave more light than city people realized, but not enough to tell Artemisia
what was approaching around the blacker curve of Barikala island. Something was.
Probably the canoes her lookout had guessed: she could see the flicker of starlight
off what might be paddles rising and falling. That it was to be an attack, she
didn't doubt. There was no other reason for approaching in the darkness like this.
These waters were too dangerous for--
Something bumped against the side of her ship, scraped along it. Other bumps,
maybe a dozen...the canoes. The Lady Protector drew her cutlass and knew that her
crewmen were doing the same. Did these attackers really think she would be so
careless as not to notice their approach?
Something showed over the rail, dark against the dark water, but it gleamed
white briefly in the starlight. She took one long step forward and brought her blade
down on it. From close up, she could smell it, a horrible rotten-meat stink. It
fell away and hit the water and the canoe below with a sodden clunk-splash. There
was no time to think about it; another one was reaching over the rail beside it. She
cut sideways, then reversed to cut the other way at a third. Her crew was lined up
on either side of her, hacking steadily. There was no sound but their grunts of
effort, and their feet shifting on the deck.
"Not everyone here!" Artemisia commanded. "Mr. Horlon, take a half-dozen men
and watch the other rail before they come at us from behind!"
She could hear her first officer's low-voiced commands, and men moving out of
the line. The ones still fighting on this rail moved to cover the gaps in their
line; it was actually better now, because they had room to work.
"These are DEAD men!" one of her sailors exclaimed. "They're already DEAD!"
Zombies? Should that be possible with the Arcanum weakened? Not that it
mattered. Dead or alive, she didn't want them on her ship. "Make them twice dead,
then," she ordered.
In truth, the zombies were not hard to fight with. You had to dismember them to
get them to stop attacking, but they had no skill. Since her crew was more numerous,
the end was not in doubt.
And whoever had launched this attack must know that....
A feint? She wanted desperately to look around for the other attack, the real
one. But the problem with a really good distraction like this was that it was
dangerous. If you ignored it, then the distraction became the real attack.
Artemisia hacked at another zombie trying to climb over the rail and realized
that she had been able to see it very clearly. Too clearly for a moonless night.
She glanced up quickly and then froze. The pillar of light over Barikala had become
a roaring torrent, a blaze to match the sun...and there were shapes moving within the
shining column.
Approaching Niatoli Island:
Ghenis had settled for a small, fast ship, the kind that was used for smuggling
small cargoes. He'd been hunted in Zukal; he wasn't sure why. Had Pelishtekan
somehow guessed that he, Ghenis, had become a deadly enemy? It didn't seem possible,
since he'd spoken to no one of his plan, but maybe the damned Ferencian had ways....
In fact, the man must be a wizard of some kind to pull of the "divine signs" that had
appeared during the worship performances. Which was all the more reason not to go
back to Zukal until he had found the TRUE demongod.
There were men belonging to the cult who owned boats, but Ghenis had not gone to
one of them for transport. No point in making his trail obvious. Being a gladiator
gave him contacts Pelishtekan couldn't guess at. He'd rented the boat from a man who
asked no questions, a man who had been a gladiator on Barikala before the invasion.
Ghenis leaned back against the low cabin in the middle of the boat and began to
plan his operation on Niatoli. Contact his teammate, Cousin Og. Then...other
gladiators. Potential worshippers for the demongod, when he found It. And allies.
He'd have to raise some money, you couldn't start a rival cult without money.
Piracy, maybe, or a little treasure hunting. Maybe raid...Monuntial. Yeah, no one
would mind, no one that mattered to him, anyway, if he raided the invaders.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hey all,
Light Da Pyre here. Looks like I lasted another turn at the top spot. I've got
no specific matchups this turn, so it's an open challenge for the throne. If you
want it, come and get it.
Light Da Pyre
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. We now have a new top team for all of you guys
to dogpile on. CASINO HAMMERZ now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep
it. A stormcloud is brewing over the PIG BATTALION guildhouse. Rumor says any more
weeks like this ones 0-0-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena. Coming up with a
solid 5-0-0 outing, CASINO HAMMERZ has advanced 5 places in the rankings. It looks
like the guys(?) at BAD BREAD had a good week as they went 3-1-0 to put them in 10th
place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for STONE FACE HAMMER, who
flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep
your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was DARTMAN, who
dropped 10 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with HEY, ZEUS!.
It's a proud day for the BAD BREAD stable, as their warrior, TOMB SCONE, ascended the
Duelmaster's throne. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps
T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Did you hear that JAILBIRDS was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of JAILBIRDS' warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who
like math, try this one: JAILBIRDS + Weapons That go Boom = VEGGIES + Avoid City.
And who is this DARK DUMPLING you ask, with 100 points and a 20-18-1 record. Ooh,
the tales I could tell!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the NIYTYOLE ISLAND giving me the 'cut' sign (or is
that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!--

MONGO'S MARDI GRAS MADNESS DUELMASTERS AUCTION
Mongo, aka Matt McIntosh and ex-Warden of the Dark Circle, is auctioning off his
entire collection of Duelmasters warriors and stables. Don't miss out on this chance
to own some fantastic warriors! There are ADM warriors available in every class from
Primus to Freshmen, as well as over a dozen Basic stables.
Does a Slasher with +4 attack, +4 decisiveness, +3 initiative and +2 riposte
sound good? How about a Lunger who received the benefit of a TC prize, has TVed
three times after graduating--and still hasn't maxed out his skills!? How about a
Striker in the Freshmen class who has decisiveness for a favorite learn and the MAUL
for a favorite weapon!?
Or perhaps you prefer playing in Basic. Then how does a stable with four Adept
class warriors who have a combined record of 41-19-9 sound? Or maybe a stable with
three 21-Will warriors? Or perhaps a stable with four Initiates and a Rookie who
have a combined record of 23-6-1?
The quality of the lots is excellent. All you need to view and bid on the lots
is go to:
http://members.aol.com/jvmerlino/mardigras.html
If you want to be on the mailing list to receive regular updates on the auction,
just send an e-mail to JVMerlino@aol.com. Merlin, aka John Merlino and also an ex-
Warden of the Dark Circle, will be running this auction for me. I just moved to New
Orleans and am likely currently stumbling around the French Quarter...because it's
Mardi Gras! So I have named my auction in honor of this occasion.
The auction will start on Saturday, March 13th, 2004, and will continue for
several weeks. But you should get your bids in early if you want your best chance at
owning any of these fantastic warriors and stables.
Many thanks to all for your interest and your bids,
Mongo

Style Masters Symposium
Hosted by Hammer
The years have slipped by and many DM Managers have come and gone since the last
Hammer's Handbook was compiled and printed.
There is now a stirring within me to begin writing and editing yet another
Handbook with a distribution date sometime in 2005.
This Handbook will be made available via Email with a possibility of burning the
info to a CD for distribution.
Special arrangements will be made to provide the information via printed page to
those contributors who are serving sentences behind bars.
The working title of this new Handbook is "Style Masters Symposium Hosted by
Hammer".
Distribution of this Handbook is projected to be MAINLY for those DM Managers
who contribute information/articles to Hammer by June 2004.
Informative and entertaining articles should focus on insights regarding Any or
All 10 Style Masters for both the Basic and ADM arenas as well as Tourney
competition.
Articles focusing on Weapons/Armor are also encouraged for inclusion.
Whether you are a Newbie Manager without a clue or a Jaded Veteran; everyone has
discovered something about this gaming experience that is both Insightful and
Entertaining.
Email Your Articles to HammerDM@fastermail.com or send them via Diplo to either
Flower Hammerz (372) in DM 28 or Casino Hammerz (576) in DM 33.
Length and Content of the Style Masters Symposium Hosted by Hammer will be
Determined by the Quality and Quantity of Contributors Combined with the Literary
Efforts of Hammer who is currently overseas for an indefinite period of time.
Articles Contributed for this Project should be of Sufficient Length and Content
to Warrant being Included to Receive the Finished Document when Hammer has completed
this literary work to His satisfaction.
Managers contributing articles are also requested to include a DM Bio of
Themselves along with any Notable Successes and/or Failures during Their DM Career in
Basic, ADM and/or Tourney Play.
A listing of Active Stables would also be Helpful for Anyone Seeking to Reply to
Contributors via Diplo, Email or Snailmail.
May Your Blades Be Sharp And Your Wits Sharper!

St. Valentine's Day Massacre Update
We are pleased to announce that the kLk sponsored St. Valentine's Day Massacre
kill contest in DM 36 is off to a great start. We are also pleased to announce that
in addition to the 10 team rollups we are also able to offer the renaming of a dark
arena warrior as a prize to the manager with the most kills. The contest is only 2
turns old and is still wide open. There are currently 5 managers tied with one kill
each. Anything can still happen so hurry up and get into the arena.
On a personal note, no other alliances have entered the arena in force to
challenge the kLk dominance. We were expecting The Firm to put up a fight for their
supposed home arena. But, they were a no show. Guess they proved what they are
really made of. *evil grin*
Perhaps another alliance would like to step in to give us a challenge. We are
throwing down the gauntlet. Perhaps the Chaos Inc. boys I keep hearing about would
like to step in and challenge the kLk for arena dominance. If you don't show up,
Chaos, don't feel bad. FAR better managers than you have been invited into Jhans but
have chosen to pass on the offer.
So if you consider yourself worthy to compete, like fierce competition, and
enjoy arenas where the personals are as fierce as the fighting, come visit JHANS DM
36. We're already planning our next contest, "Capture the Flag," and have a
storyline being actively worked on in the arena. Whatever you like about DM you can
find it in JHANS.
